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 already pitched the idea to him if it would actually work especially since he's also knowledgeable about machine learning. This is all a thought experiment, but he's probably the only one I'd actually talk to about this idea.
As far as networking goes, it's easier to target people within your workplace or people close to you you'd already know. It's easiest to go through my dad since he holds a very esteemed position in business/marketing fields, but in my real life my desired networking would be through researchers to get research positions. I'd much rather be developing the AI than selling it. I'm allergic to capitalism.
1) I am Fractal, a Maker and lover of all things innovative. I believe in the power of machine learning and how much it can speed up the workflow and make our lives easier by taking out the grunt work in important but exceedingly repetitive jobs like mine. I work in data entry. I read prescriptions as they come and I type them up. I belive a robot can and should take my job. My job would then become double-checking if the robot analyzed the image correctly, thereby making my life a whole lot easier, and making the data entry process a whole lot quicker. 2) I'm offering an artificial intelligence machine learning program that is capable of detecting and handling handwritten text, especially for that of data entry. 3) My ideal customer would be corporate data entry offices, giving them the opportunity to implement an AI that automatically processes and data-enters prescriptions. With literally millions of databased prescriptions on file, there's practically an endless stream o...
It is convenient to have good connections already because you can grow the relationship more and learn a lot. Even your dad being in his position is very beneficial and convenient. Your allergies play a factor in what you would do with the business. You can still be successful by being in the back end of the business. This is also hypothetical so there is no pressing matter.
