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

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 4 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 4 months ago next
@slideshowbob I'd also like to experience academics-level projects, but in a product-based role! #MachineLearning #AI

I'm skeptical about the 'AI for manufacturing' space. I think established Fortune 500s will dominate the market. #startups #ManufacturingAI
ml_decisions 4 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 4 months ago next
True, @slideshowbob. I think LuminAI has the advantage of being ML-focused and hands-on with production-level code. #Startups #MachineLearning

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 4 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 4 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 4 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
