    I’ve always noticed this because I search really strange things out of curiosity and notice my ads change due to it. To the point which I can tell what someone spends their time looking at based off their TH-cam, Hulu, etc. ads lol

    I took the Dual Enrollment Computer Science class at UT Austin and one of the modules explained data-mining and data collection. I learned so much from that class.
    Data-mining doesn't surprise me anymore as a result. And it makes sense: Google is practically the King of data-mining. Even if you're not using any of their services, if you visit a website with Google Ads, unless you turn off third-party cookies, they can still collect your data.
    Be careful of what you do on the Internet.

    Five ways to do data mining- classification,regression,clustering,anomaly detection,association mining.
    3 types of machine learning
    -supervised learning
    -unsupervised learning
    -reinforcement learning
    Algorithms to perform classification,regression and clustering
    1.K-means
    2.decision tree
    3.log/linear regression
    4.naive Bayes
    5.random forest
    6.neural network
    7.etc...

    I can understand being suggested things online after I've actually searched them myself, like being suggested videos about, I don't know, rabbit food if I've typed it before on TH-cam or Google and my device catches that.
    But what about all the times I've literally just talked about things, never typed them in, and then started getting suggestions for them. It's happened many times, most recently TH-cam was suggesting me videos about barracudas after I was talking about them with my dad. I didn't look up anything about them on my phone, I don't even know if I've ever even typed the word on my phone, yet I get suggested videos after talking about them.

    Nice video. Regression and classification are indeed very, very similar. The math is almost identical. Anomaly detection is like model diagnosis, looking for points that don't fit the model.
    The one big thing people need to recall is Goodhart's Law: "Any observed statistical regularity will tend to collapse once pressure is placed upon it for control purposes."
    So these regularities will frequently die when they start being used for some purpose.

    • @volkerherbst1251
      @volkerherbst1251 6 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yeah, so? That's the whole point, you think Spotify is selling their subscription to a 30 year old mostly listening to Heavy Metal, Punk and Indie Rock by forcing him to listen to a genre that is completely irrelevant to him? You could argue that it's a negative reinforcement to buy a subscription to get rid of the ads. However positive reinforcement ALWAYS works better (e.g. "Oh look, Spotify really knows my taste and I didn't have to dig for hours for these really sweet tracks!") But even when I'm not subscribing, they can sell their commercial breaks for a fortune to external companies, IF they can prove it's aimed at the right demographic. And obviously they don't even try...

    I ditched gmail a couple of years ago. The final straw was when my dad forwarded me an email he had received with flight details, so the email was from my dad and not the airline company. I then had an email from google saying "we noticed that you're going away on these dates, so we added the dates to your google calander". At the time I didn't even know I had a google calander, and certainly had no plans to start using it. I was so annoyed and creeped out.

Kinda wish the algorithms were even better at creepily mining all my deepest darkest secrets.

I do see everyday that it is not perfect by the number of car advertisements I get despite the fact that I do not drive and will never drive because I'm bad at not letting one thing capture my complete attention, I've collided with parked car while riding a bicycle.

    Some algorithms can spot people with bipolar disorder, and also recognize when they're going to be manic - and display ads for expensive-but-exciting stuff when the user is likely to be not in control of their own actions.

    Also, what’s scary about data mining? If target knows you are pregnant, what’s the harm? That you get access to coupons that save money on the things you are gonna purchase for your baby anyway? I remember a time when I bought a sous vide, added modernest cuisine and an isi dispenser to my wishlist, watched a few cool science videos on liquid nitrogen and suddenly a video was suggested about cryosteak. It’s a really cool thing, I learned about something I didn’t know before. The coolest part was that something was suggested to me that was right in line with my interest at the time. This sounds like education at its finest. I know it’s education targeting my wallet, I went straight to amazon and added A liquid nitrogen dewar to my wishlist. None the less, I learned something extremely relevant to my interests because a huge set of data about people with similar interests was both available and examined by computers to suggest that video.
    So maybe I’m missing something. I like learning so please point it out if I am. But what’s so scary about collecting data. It’s not like that judgie suburban housewife down the street is poking through the data collected about me so she can judge more. And if she is, what do I care if she’s got nothing better to do than judge others? I don’t expect she can be a very enlightened, satisfied, happy person if that’s what she is choosing to spend her time doing. And I can comfort myself with the fact that I’m having a far nicer time than she.
    Please, someone, tell me why I should be scared and why I should prevent the tracking at all costs? What am I missing?

    wow, i've never heard the term data mining in this way. the only times i've heard it is to talk about people going through all the data in a game program. to like find things that are hidden until a later date, or other hidden bits in the code, like some underlying formulas.

    I like when eBay gives me coupons. I don't like it so much when they give me 2+ in quick succession; seems they've noticed I buy most when using coupons, so they want to "force my hand" by giving me 2 or 3 in just 2 days. And then they leave me without coupons for months!
