Sporadic thoughts and ideas for my future self
This past October, I had the opportunity to be part of a fantastic discussion panel organized by the Bank of New York Mellon and ALPFA. Next to Christopher Mager, global head of innovation at the Bank of New York Mellon, Neysha Arcelay, founder and CEO of Precixa, and Natalia Castillejo, principal product manager with Duolingo.
While my responses were not necessarily the same during the discussion, these are some (close) transcripts of such interaction during the panel.
Why do you think using a creative approach is so important to running a successful business/project?
Using a creative approach for innovation is critical. Usually, people tend to think that the best time to innovate at a company is when a company’s revenue decreasing. The best time to innovate is by continuously applying A/B testing to current and new strategies to keep strategies that work and dismiss those that do not. …

Gather AI’s video showcases the world’s first dedicated autonomous software-only inventory management platform for warehouses.
Recently, I had the pleasure of visiting one of the most innovative AI companies in Pittsburgh. Gather AI, an autonomous inventory management AI company, revolutionizing the warehousing industry as the title mentions “one drone at a time.”
Gather AI’s founding team comprises three graduates from Carnegie Mellon University’s Robotics Institute, including co-founder and chief robotics officer Sankalp Arora, co-founder and chief technology officer Daniel Maturana, and co-founder and chief security officer Geetesh Dubey.
Gather AI uses state-of-the-art robotics, classic AI methods, and a deep learning engine to enable autonomous inventory monitoring and management, which uses a drone fleet. Each drone is fully autonomous and paired to a tablet device, which provides inventory data. …

How was the first machine learning academic department founded
The Machine Learning Department at Carnegie Mellon University was founded in the spring of 2006 as the world’s first machine learning academic department. It evolved from an earlier organization called the Center for Automated Learning and Discovery (CALD), created in 1997. CALD was designed to bring together an interdisciplinary group of researchers with a shared interest in statistics and machine learning.
The first collection of CALD faculty participants were primarily from the Statistics Department and departments within the School of Computer Science, but also included faculty from philosophy, engineering, the business school, and biological science.
Statistics Professor Stephen Fienberg and Computer Science Professor Tom Mitchell were the primary faculty involved in creating CALD. In 1999 CALD began its first educational program, a Master’s degree in “Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining.” …
