| | This is the second-part of a three-part series on hypothesis testing. Today we'll look at the way we do hypothesis testing in practice, and how it tends to fail. Modern researchers use hypothesis testing as a tool to develop knowledge, but it's really a tool for making decisions, and so it encourages us to draw strong conclusions from weak evidence. It also encourages us to view studies that don't reject the null hypothesis as failures, which leads even honest and dedicated researchers to do shoddy resea...

| Research in machine learning has seen some of the biggest and brightest minds of our time - and copious amounts of funding - funneled into the pursuit of better, safer, and more generalizable algorithms. As the field grows, there is vigorous debate around the direction that growth should take (for a less biased take, see here). This week, I give some background on the major algorithm types being researched, help frame aspects of the ongoing debate, and ultimately conclude that there is no single direction to build toward - but that through collaboration, we'll see advances on all fronts.
