Writing for TwoCents has been like finding my people—a place where sharing my thoughts actually matters! Not only do I get to dive deep into topics I'm passionate about, but I also get real support from readers through tips and subscriptions.
Plus, the connections I've made with other African creators are incredible. It's not just a place to publish; it's a community where your voice can actually make waves (and earn a few coins while you're at it!). TwoCents has turned my random musings into meaningful conversations

More than two years later, I still feel the same, the space offers more than just nuggets of wisdom here and there, you can get inspired and even channel your creativity in a great way. There's so much TwoCents has to offer and I can't wait to see what it blossoms into🌸

I think the first question should be: does this problem actually need ML?

Hello Pemi, Video is the present and future of content marketing, and people generally gravitate towards video, so it is a really effective way to reach your audience, but you mustn't ignore other content formats that may be more useful in getting a particular message across. Yes, email is still very efficient and has a very high Return On Investment (ROI). Some of the most common mistakes are not understanding your audience, not giving your strategies/plans enough time to give the desired results, not evolving and being so afraid of failing you take no chances.

HR is threatened same way as other departments. With improvements in technology, creation of shared services, outsourcing, integration of processes etc, headcount will mostly be affected.As individuals, whether in HR or other departments, we need to always prepare for tomorrow. Learn new things, manage our resources well, be open to new challenges,etc
Dolapo Onasanya

It's all about marketing yourself. If you believe you have the skills, make them believe it too.
Whether it is an official interview position or a networking opportunity, always make sure to take advantage and sell yourself. If you contribute to open source, highlight it in your conversation. If you''ve developed any applications or even simply learned a new technology/programming language, never fail to mention those. Do not let the lack of professional experience deter you.
As a developer, I would also suggest to create a portfolio of your work, no matter how small. If this portfolio is technology-based, like a well designed website or app, that highlights your skills even more and can serve as a great first impression and good conversation starter.

With a straight up answer! There is nothing happening under the sun for the first time. It is a blessing to have someone who can truthfully hold your hand up your search for success. It is a blessing to have someone you can ask for help to organise the puzzles of life. Lastly don't forget to have wisdom along the way. When they speak once, hear 3000times deeper

Yes, this is a image recognition process that has been done in multiple ways before. I would suggest looking up relevant literature for inspiration and browsing around competition sites like Kaggle or Zindi to get access to datasets!The coolest project I have worked on probably was something I did with a startup to recognize different hairtypes and hairstyles!
Chinasa T. Okolo

At its core, computer vision involves taking in images and processing them for real-world significance. In terms of living spaces, people have used computer vision for things like home construction planning, decoration arrangement planning, and trying out furniture in your house. This is cool and all, but I really wish we would explore computer vision for accessibility in our living spaces. If we had robust visual understanding systems that had seamless integration with natural language synthesizers, we could provide more enhanced accessibility tools for the blind living alone. If we had visual assistance robots that could do household tasks like cooking and cleaning, those with mobility issues could really benefit. There will always be an unexplored importance in areas that don't make tech companies money, and those areas often have the greatest impact.

Fortunately, some large tech companies have begun to democratize access to compute and offer free cloud services. I would check out Google Colaboratory that offers free GPU/TPU access to train models.There's no specific rule for determining what real-life problems can be solved with AI, if you have sufficient data and a solid understanding of what models can be used to solve the problem, then you can test it out!
Chinasa T. Okolo
Managing Director & Computer Science PhD Student @ The Diasporic Group & Cornell University
I think this is a bit dangerous. Attempting to ascertain sentimental correlations and apply them to huge financial decisions may work in certain contexts and you could definitely train a model with 99% training accuracy on this task, but future situations that are dependent on complex human action can never be adequately represented by a numerical parameterization and a finite state machine. If the model is not large enough, we will not learn all the possible combinations of interactions. If it is too large, then we only learn the context of our training dataset. That being said, you could do both and get good results during training. Personally, I do not have extensive NLP experience or Bayesian experience in production, but their fundamentals suggest that they would learn this type of model well independently or in conjunction. Naïve Bayes is good for state estimation-based decision making, and NLP can be used to model language and extract sentiment. However, these models depend completely on the input dataset that one utilizes, and the chosen labels (if using a supervised method) that are often subjective. Using data from the internet is also dangerous because it is next to impossible to have humans annotate every piece of training data without spending a large amount of money, and learning from problematic input data can lead to problematic situations.To make this less vague, take the 2016 example where Tay, a chatbot made by Microsoft and trained on Twitter data, became extremely racist in less than a day of online training (https://twitter.com/geraldmellor/status/712880710328139776). Attempting to determine causation in a data driven sense is a slippery slope, and until AI solves the data-driven generalization problem (which I believe may be never) I wouldn't build a system like this in production until I could guarantee significant human supervision and have looked at the ethical implications on those who do not financially benefit from the proposed system.
