    I love this video! Thank you so much! I got my Bachelor's in philosophy from a small university where I was in an AI lab studying logic-based AI. I left my master's in philosophy before I finished -- ehh, it wasn't for me. With the area of philosophy I was interested in, I found that most of the texts were untranslated and even Google translate can't completely get some of Husserl's (a philosopher) material just right. So my passion project -- a long-term goal -- is to analyze these untranslated texts with existing NLP tools (rather than building my own algorithms). Anyway keep making these videos... I subscribed!

    • @karolinasowinska
      @karolinasowinska  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Your interests sound awesome, and translation is a perfect use case for NLP! For translating philosophy works, it's very important to get the context of the words right. Have a look at Google's BERT - it's one of the newest and most accurate NLP algorithms that is great at represnting words' context. Here's the offical repository: github.com/google-research/bert. If that looks too hard for now - start off with the simpler NLP tutorials and algorithms, but keep BERT in mind! ;). I'm glad this video was useful and thank you for your kind words! :) Good luck!

    I think the first step, that is more like a leap, is believing you can. Colleges are great, degrees are valued, but there's nothing about the curriculum you can't learn with enough passion and hard work. Not relying on the structure of college is even a more accurate training to what you'll do when you need to solve problems that have never been solved, you have to deal with ambiguity, and there's no one to give you an assignment. Steeper learning curves force you to learn faster - and what's better than that?

    New subscriber here! I'm currently finishing an accounting and finance degree but I'm planning to do a masters in AI. As finance is a quantitative subject and I have done some programming in my degree in a program known as Stata, do you think this will help me for my masters and my career?

    The dream is to become an Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Engineer at UK Space Command, fingers crossed! 🤞

I’m working on one right now involving scanning through lists of product/manufacturer names and finding typos (Jaro-Winkler)/duplicates to then narrow the list and begin setting criteria for what JW score is the cutoff.
