YOU CAN NEVER KNOW WHERE YOUR NEXT GREAT IDEA COMES FROM!

We were struggling with a big challenge and after evaluating a variety of approaches it felt like a dead end. And then we found the answer! It was at the 2017 Reversim summit following a session about a thirty years old algorithm mimicking a flock of birds. It was an aha moment for us - taking us to an almost two years path of solving the challenge by applying biomimicking algorithms.

I will present the concept of biomimicry and treating biological processes as algorithms nature has created. I will also take you through a specific use case and demonstrate how treating job postings as a flock of birds can optimize budget spend!

By the end of the session, I hope you have a different perspective on both nature and machine learning.
