Patents in Machine Learning Algorithms?
I think the trend over time has been for people to take, uh, patents in machine learning algorithms last seriously. There's this algorithm in computer vision called SIFT, which is like this, uh, keypoint detector. I think the guy who patented it probably made this university some money from the patent but in the end, all it did was caused people a lot of annoyance because they had to come up with alternative algorithms that weren't patented. Big companies will patent a lot of stuff for defensive reasons and can be used as one of the bargaining chips during legal disputes.
