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.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.I hope this is not the case but I'm getting less and less optimistic when I see articles like this.
