I’m talking to you!

Hi, my name is Guillaume. I’m an Engineer and I like data too.
And also now an Entrepreneur (Musiwave, Scoop.it)
@gdecugis
We Engineers love data and algorithms.
@gdecugis
In 1993, I built a neural network algorithm…
…to predict stock market performance based on
financial data
@gdecugis
This is where I’d be if it had worked
@gdecugis
People produce a lot of content
@gdecugis
And yes, algorithms can filter content based on analytics, social data…
@gdecugis
But smart systems use people to correct data.
@gdecugis
And people like to do it.
@gdecugis
Media is discovery. Not Search.
What I know What I know I don’t know
Search Media
What I don’t know I don’t know
