#13An out-of-left-field option, if your goal is only to make some money working with ML: go into independent game design and create a game around a ML system. It's not something mainstream gaming would be interested in using because the goals are different - there the development process is enslaved to some well-defined intellectual property, and (with rare exceptions) does not roam freely enough to allow more than a "g…
Here's a ML game that I think would be cool:
The idea is genetic programming with human interaction based around a Pokemon kind of game. There would be pre-made and player made pets, and a "wild" area where creatures could evolve.

#14I suggest you get out and talk to friends and their friends at your school, about the problems in their fields, that you might be able to help with. They might not identify their problem as needing ML, but you can connect those dots yourself.
I think your chance of success is much higher if you work directly with someone who knows the problem domain in depth. Cross-domain work is where its at.

Actually we're doing that... If you hear about our company in 5 - 6 years, that means it worked!
