#32Checking for issues with loan photos as they are posted. It's been interesting to find that many ML platforms and libraries don't do a great job of recognizing humans with dark skin. Hopefully, by adding Kiva's 1 mil+ images to the mix we can give them a better basis point to learn from. Hoping to use it for a lot of other things as well, but we're still getting to know how to leverage it.

#33I'm not using it at this moment, but in a couple of weeks I'll have a newborn, and I was thinking of taking pictures of him every time he is upset, and then tagging the photo with what ends up being the resolution (feed, change, or nap) and seeing if I could build a classifier that could figure out what he needs just from a picture of his angry face.
Semi-related, but if anyone is using the AWS tools for their AI, please ping me. I'm looking for a speaker for a community event in SF in June. (contact info in profile)

That's a great insight to use Kiva as training data, because I agree that not recognizing dark skinned people is a huge problem with current facial recognition datasets.
This will get worse as more retail establishments use image recognition in their every day operation.

#38I'm using it to isolate acapellas from music for making mashups/remixes. Not quite "real world" yet, since even my most recent models aren't perfectly reliable, but it's getting there.
Re: Ask HN: What do you use Machine Learning for?
#39I use it as something to worry about not knowing how to use, and how that might make me unemployable in a few years, while also having no obvious need for it at all, and therefore no easy avenue towards learning it, especially since it requires math skills which have completely rusted over because I also never need those, so I'd have to start like 2 levels down the ladder to work my way back up to it. I've found it v…
Like encryption, the math is necessary when you build it, not when you use it. You can go quite far by just treating it as a black box.

Such a cool use case. I'd love to see the results if you could build a classifier for it, though I do wonder how quickly it could identify the symptom.
