Episode notes
Jason's Buffalo Architecture Story
- Jason Corso shared his connection to Buffalo's architecture and the AKG art museum.
- He once owned a historic house designed by local architect E.B. Green there.
Data Quality Drives Model Success
- Jason Corso found model performance depends more on the training dataset quality than on the choice of algorithm architecture.
- He observed that data quality crucially drives AI model success, especially in computer vision tasks like pedestrian avoidance.
Emphasize Data in ML Systems
- Data-centric machine learning requires equal attention to data quality as model development.
- Use tooling to analyze and improve data alongside models for better AI outcomes.
