04/09/2020 - ML algorithms that are interesting

 the field of machine learning is huge. it is a nightmare to learn. choose to learn to solve a problem that interests you

for me - online learning ML

recommender systems - essential for e-commerce, and also content websites, basically many websites would do well to have them. makes use of content filtering and collaborative filtering. can select its own features.

web scraping, text data mining, sentiment - analyse customer reviews etc would be useful for office work in general. i suppose you could start by having fun with the twitter api.

maybe bandit algorithms and epsilon greedy, but that's reinforcement learning and i don't want to go there. would be good for optimisng sites and marketing budgets

route optimisation - delivery routes

anomaly detection for detecting server down etc

weirdly, i am not keen on search at all, it looks like general AI to me. also not interested in neural networks.

maybe tensorflow js. perhaps a scanner to recognise text or something.
