When you’re working at the algorithm level, you get funny looks… Even if it gets to state of the art results, who cares because you can throw more electricity and data at it instead.
I worked specifically on low data algorithms, so my work was particularly frowned upon by modern ai scientists.
I’m not doxxing myself, but unpublished work of mine got published in parallel as Prototypical Networks in 2017. And everyone laughed (<- exaggeration) at me researching RBFs which were considered defunct. (I still think they’re an untapped optimization.)
