@robertklaschka @LT_customer1st @rooevans @katecrawford Ordered!

@LT_customer1st @noscalerule @rooevans Got a new book for you Lynda. The Atlas of AI by @katecrawford lots of tasty stuff about bad uses of big data in training AI. I have been doing a lot of thinking about how this applies to construction.

And still no one can tell me where #wordle’s #data is going and what insights are being gained from it. Any thoughts @noscalerule? ajevans12.wordpress.com/2022/03/11/dat…

@robertklaschka @LT_customer1st @rooevans In some cases that works, but its usually as a side consequence of the original data - sports analytics used to minimise betting returns is now used to spot cheating in sport. My background always makes me think what is the noise hiding... but sometimes there is nothing there

@noscalerule @LT_customer1st @rooevans In a sense this is the reverse of the wordle problem which is here is some data can we make it useful.

@robertklaschka @rooevans @LT_customer1st This is a common one in undergraduate research - eg asking a respondants age, then not using it in the study.

@rooevans @LT_customer1st @noscalerule There is a common flaw in some of the worst AI implementations for example where the computer scientists ignore that the data they need isn't available and instead use what is available. Trying to guess what a person is thinking from their face is probably the best example.

@rooevans @LT_customer1st @robertklaschka I usually start with a th group plus a nd e, but it's remarkably ineffective recently - suspect that the word selection is skewed to inject difficulty. There's only so many 5 letter words though.

@rooevans @LT_customer1st @robertklaschka Particularly if there are language variants. I approach it from the English language TH group and common vowel - treating it like a low grade cypher. Beyond that it's more of a logic problem once a couple of letters are established

@RomaTheEngineer @TheDreadShips has a few cracking ones in their timeline

@rooevans You have a point there - I was thinking more commercial value. Most military encryption is in 5 letter groups, but it doesn't seem to have a purpose for that.

@noscalerule I disagree. I think it’s a missed opportunity if no one is doing anything with that skewed data source. You’d have to work out how to normalise the input but there must be some fascinating insights there, no?

@rooevans It's a hideously wide and difficult subject. As long as you task it with the right job, it's a useful tool.

@noscalerule Indeed. Some great #ML and #AI chat in that session.

Over in Rotterdam for the ICEC conference - talking all things cost prediction and control! #dace #icec

@rooevans It's a big room from up there!

@noscalerule Spotted.

SAVE THE DATE! Tomorrow June 15th is WOMEN IN TRADE DAY 2022 - Celebrating Every Woman Who Works With a Tool - @womenintradeuk #removingblocks #WITD2022 womenintradeday.co.uk Quiet Mark is a proud official supporter and thankful that CEO Poppy Skziler had been featured.

My 18 yr old has spent the last 2yrs seeking a joinery apprenticeship in the Glasgow area. He is an absolute grafter and now has loads of casual labouring/roofing experience and a qualification in Joinery/Construction. He just needs an employer to give him a chance. Plse share x

When you're young you think systems and routines in everyday life and work are for squares: they stifle your creativity and restrict your individuality. As you get older you realise they are the very things that liberate you from constantly being at the mercy of admin.

#AECNextGen Fab to see the platform and the ambition - always a pleasure with @edify_ac @ClassofYourOwn @SoluisGroup - lots of use cases in my head right now...
