I think the infoarena community should switch it's focus from solving algorithms puzzles to machine learning and deep learning in particular but probably this discussion deserves it's own blog post.

Mircea Pasoi and Cristian Strat, after their successful stint at twitter, recently founded Alien Labs. They use deep learning to build intelligent chat bots for an office environment. This is an awesome opportunity to work together again. It's been 8 years since we've last worked together. At Google, we worked on solving an ads inventory management problem using network flows. Our claim to fame is that we wrote a research paper where we got lots of help from Clifford Stein, the S in CLRS :). This is also an opportunity for me to jump on the deep learning train tackling real world problems.

So yesterday I've started at Alien Labs based in San Francisco. The first thing I'm going to work on is figuring out if two questions are similar. This should be fun!

I'll follow up with a few posts on deep learning that may encourage you to try it if you haven't already.
