ENT 3003

I'm a communist in an entrepreneurship class. Why am I here? I didn't know Innovation Academy was binding and threw me in bourgeois weirdness. At least Dr. Pryor is fun.

8A - Solving the Problem

My job is weird. I don't mean this negatively. I mean this in the sense why are humans still doing this? Data entry of prescriptions? It seems like this is something a robot should be doing. And I don't mean this in a "robots should take our jobs" sense (even though they should). I mean this in the sense of why are we relying on humans to mash out what's written on prescriptions when the technology exists to better extract data from handwritten text and even better so from printed text. My point is we already have millions of training examples correctly documented. If we used these as training data for a machine learning algorithm, it would be able to create immediate more accurate prescriptions for pharmacists. Not only that, but imagine how good AI could become at reading handwriting if it can decipher doctor cursive! This potentially has many uses outside of the pharmacy just in terms of technological advancement alone. Now this is just one possible solution...

12A – Figuring Out Buyer Behavior No. 1

Since it is easier to seek out people who need the service as a notetaking transcription rather than actually interviewing supervisers at work, I used this segment for my interviews. I find that students desperately seem to want a service to be able to take their notes and digitize them, so that their scrawl is easily readable later on and so that they can share notes with friends. They seem to look for services that'll either detect their handwriting (which are rudimentary at best and barely able to read print) or for services for other students or such to type up their notes for them so that they save time. This becomes especially apparent around exam time when students are desperately trying to organize their notes but simply don't have the time. An image detection tech trained on the universally most messiest handwritings would be able to detect and transcribe student notes with just a push of a button. It could be put on phones or on library computers with scanners.

20A – Growing Your Social Capital

1) Domain Expert in Industry: My mom has a friend in my age group (I forget his name, but he goes to UF too) who specializes in machine learning and AI systems. He could definitely be knowledgeable enough about ML to assist me. As a family friend, we could share some family favors to help him on that end. 2) Expert on Market: This person is easy to contact. Any one of my supervisors at work will do. As this is a professional environment I'm already partaking in, this isn't much of room for asking for favors and instead simply asking a supervisor to connect me with a higher-up in the chain of management in order to talk with them about the system. 3) Important Supplier: This is literally my dad's exact position of work. He creates a plan for both marketing and business models in order to implement a system that actually works, which is why companies are desperate to hire him. He's my dad, so all he'd ask is proof that this could actually work. I've in fact alre...
