Graph-Powered Machine Learning at Google
While there is a lot to get excited about with ML both as a consumer and as a software developer I can't help feeling a pang of sadness.<p>Big data and in this case the relationship (graph) between big data points are whats needed to make great ML/AI products. By nature the only companies that will ever have access to this data in a meaningful way are going to be larger companies: Google, Amazon, Apple, ect. Because of this I worry that small upstarts may never be able to compete on these type of products in a viable way as the requirements to build these features are so easily defensible by the larger incumbents.<p>I hope this is not the case but I'm getting less and less optimistic when I see articles like this.
