Machine Learning protest at the G20

Researchers at CMU’s machine learning department had a rally at the G20 to make sure that the world understood the issues and problems that data miners face daily. See the photos. Read more at Mary McGlohon’s Dataphile blog. Photos by Arthur Gretton

John Oliver joins the protest

Some more suggestions for signs:

End G20’s unsupervised learning
Don’t be Naive
Fix the hyperplane before we go non-linear
You can’t predict my label
G20 is nothing but a hyperbolic tangent
This is our manifold destiny!
Bring back arrested development!
Tea Baggers and Boosters unite!

I am imagining Paul up at 5:30a giggling to himself while inventing all these … jokes.

I do like the “Map Reduce, Map Reuse, Map Recycle” one and of course “Ban Genetic Algorithms.” I can definitely anneal towards that one.
