Fact: Unstructured data makes up over 90 % of all data and is growing. “This shift becomes even more challenging with unstructured data (over 90% of all data and growing).”
Decision: Move away from building “rigid systems” toward building “learning systems.” “Decision: Move away from building “rigid systems” toward building “learning systems.””
On 2024‑12‑09 I wrote a reminder for ML beginners to adopt a problem‑first mindset, emphasizing critical questions before writing code.
Decision: I emphasize asking key questions (why, success criteria, data quality) before coding to ensure responsible, impact‑driven machine‑learning work.
- ❓ Why does this problem matter?
- ❓ What does success look like?
- ❓ Is the data good enough to even solve this problem?
- Core mantra: “ML is not about ‘getting it to work’ but about solving real problems effectively and responsibly.”
