I think they need more DL researchers. Their ML roles seem production-heavy.

You're right that LuminAI focuses more on Applied ML vs. DL Research. But DL, RL, and other current ML techniques can be applied. #MachineLearning

Does anyone have any referrals from folks working at LuminAI? Any advice would be great!
mgray 10 months ago next
@shanetx I recommend reaching out to their ML team on LinkedIn or Twitter. I've had success with this approach for other startups 👍
mlunicorn 10 months ago prev next
I'm currently at a big company and they already have a Data Science department. I'm looking to transition to an ML-focused startup. Is LuminAI worth it? #advice
learningai 10 months ago prev next
LuminAI seems focused on Robotics too! I've only seen these combined in Research and academia. I like the challenge of ML + Robotics 🚀 #Robotics #AI
slideshowbob 10 months ago prev next
LuminAI looks more hands-on and engineering-focused. I think it's great, since academia rarely touches production-level code. #MachineLearning
aiengineer88 10 months ago next
@slideshowbob I'd also like to experience academics-level projects, but in a product-based role! #MachineLearning #AI
codemonkey72 10 months ago prev next
I'm skeptical about the 'AI for manufacturing' space. I think established Fortune 500s will dominate the market. #startups #ManufacturingAI
ml_decisions 10 months ago prev next
Regarding points raised by @shanetx and @mlunicorn, I've learned startups can provide quicker growth but may lack the structured learning opportunities found in larger companies.
ml_decisions 10 months ago next
True, @slideshowbob. I think LuminAI has the advantage of being ML-focused and hands-on with production-level code. #Startups #MachineLearning
slideshowbob 10 months ago next
@ml_decisions, And LuminAI seems to strike a balance between structure and flexibility. Startups often have unique learning challenges, allowing for rapid skill development.
aihero 10 months ago prev next
Shared this with a few friends. Should be a good opportunity for someone who's passionate about ML! #YCW21
robot_sense 10 months ago prev next
It appears that LuminAI is prioritizing ML Engineers for their team. I think it would be interesting to see the impact of ML on Robotics. Thoughts? #Robotics #ManufacturingAI
whizkid 10 months ago prev next
@larissa, I love their dedication to manufacturing. Too many companies are just doing social media or finance ML. #AI #Manufacturing
mlunicorn 10 months ago next
@whizkid I understand your concern. Aligning the company's mission with a personal drive is crucial for success. What advice would you give @JChen regarding ML in Manufacturing?
mlunicorn 10 months ago next
@AIQueen I think the key is to understand the role, industry, and expected challenges. Signing bonuses may be rare in startups, but advantages like growth opportunities can make up for it. #careerprogression #MachineLearning
