How to use machine learning for your startup’s product

There’s a misconception that to leverage machine learning you need to be a mathematical genius. In reality, most machine-learning applications use well-understood, well-tested, off-the-shelf algorithms. For many developers, especially those at startups, the real challenge lies in training the data. Overcoming this challenge takes clever product development with an eye on user experience. Do you really need machine learning? Machine learning can make a good product even better: more engaging, more responsive, and more effective. But, before tackling machine learning, ask yourself whether algorithms are right for your product. Start testing the learning aspect with humans before jumping into machine…
