Transcript: Scale By The Bay 2019: Shajan Dasan Interview

[Music] I have a distributed systems background that I transitioned to machine learning the most interesting part for me was sharing my the things that I learned from disparate systems that actually work in machine learning that was quite interesting to share the two talks that I that I was able to attend there was one that they it's a similar talk from Sony on prediction services and the other one was there was a good talk on rust I found that very interesting that's a good question so machine learning is quite important for a company like Twitter like there are a lot of problems that we can do we can find good solution or very better solution using using machine learning for instance how do you rank your timeline what tweet should be shown to certain users versus other users personalization things like that but there are also other things that that just cannot be solved at any other way for instance dictating obvious or offensive content before they actually create problems so being part of that part of that team that works you know helps the company with that as it's been quite interesting for me I get to you know since I moved to machine learning with the distributed systems background the next few years I'm trying to learn a lot more on machine learning and how I can apply distributed systems principles to help improve machine learning and Twitter I met a few good engineers while I was here working on different ideas maybe similar problems so that networking aspect was quite interesting for me I don't have anything else to add as far as improvement is concerned it was quite quite well done [Music]
