Yes, we have lots of our youths doing great in the digital space. The ideas they have is out of this world. Very little funds are needed to create any solution around the digital space. All that is needed is the skill and the idea, that is all. Also, some Nigerians are running back to the country to start their businesses to be able to meet the needs of other countries. Someone met me last week about having a start-up around setting up charging stations for electric cars. If this is done, then electric cars will be available sooner than we think. We may have issues with power and bad roads, but I don't see it stopping the ideas of our youths The raw materials and people are readily available aside from the fact that you have to train them. Therefore, Nigeria is a fertile ground for digital entrants. It may be expensive at first but will become cheaper as time goes on. I hope I answered your question? Kindly feel free to get back to me with further questions.

I think it is very important for brands to reflect their target audience. This is the time of being 'WOKE' but it must be done right. Compare Gillette's advert We Believe: The Best Men Can Be and Nike's advert with Colin Kaepernick. Gillette's advert didn't do well because people could into just buy into their message. Brand Managers needs to start considering cause marketing but need to be mindful it may back fires BUT they should always remember there was a motivation for doing it. Brand Managers could definitely use it to engage and connect with their audience. The audience sees the brands on their side, feel emotionally connected and willing to patronise.

Thank you, UK for this.Well, skill appears overrated sometimes especially technical skills.The reason is, all Architects ideally have the same skill-set technically. The differentiating factor however is what I call life skills. As such, I advise young professionals to have a blend of technical skills and life skills. So rather than work with the head & hand alone, work with the heart as well.I shared this background in order to say that, my life skills have served me more in my career journey across my expressions including leveraging Architecture. Life skills such as relational intelligence, people skills, leadership development, emotional intelligence, communication and presentation, resilience, goal setting amongst others. Check out some previous life skills I have trained on here http://youtube.com/abrahamowoseni

Practice everyday. I honestly just started that. A sketch a day.Be open minded and soak yourself in your creative juice. Read. Read and read. Be in tune with what is going on in the fashion industry and the creative industry in general.Technology is gradually becoming a part of our business, see how innovation can make your work easier. Don’t be afraid of technology, embrace it. Basically be present and keep thinking.

I'm not sure I understand your question but I'm just going to go ahead and answer what I can interpret. First off, all big things start small. It's all about intentionality, If you're building a company, it has to have products or services that solve a problem. Beyond that, you have to find a way to monetize it. There are different monetization strategies available depending on what you're building. To get people to buy it you have to market/sell it. Alongside this, you need to hire good people and build the right systems that ensure they're able to do their best work. Depending on the type of company you're building, you'll face a couple of challenges like regulatory pushback, infrastructural limitations and keeping the lights on. Generally, constant experimentation along the way and focus are valuable traits to have.

Industry is very broad since there are so many different applications large tech companies are working on. The needs are pretty much the same, it just depends on what specific project it is (ads targeting, email autocompletion, heart rate detection, etc.). I would say the major difference is learning how to scale these algorithms for use across thousands, maybe millions of users but this has pretty much been figured out.Pretty much everything out of theoretical ML is applied, so if you're interested in working with text data pursue projects in NLP or if you like image + video data, pursue Computer Vision!

I think this is a bit dangerous. Attempting to ascertain sentimental correlations and apply them to huge financial decisions may work in certain contexts and you could definitely train a model with 99% training accuracy on this task, but future situations that are dependent on complex human action can never be adequately represented by a numerical parameterization and a finite state machine. If the model is not large enough, we will not learn all the possible combinations of interactions. If it is too large, then we only learn the context of our training dataset. That being said, you could do both and get good results during training. Personally, I do not have extensive NLP experience or Bayesian experience in production, but their fundamentals suggest that they would learn this type of model well independently or in conjunction. Naïve Bayes is good for state estimation-based decision making, and NLP can be used to model language and extract sentiment. However, these models depend completely on the input dataset that one utilizes, and the chosen labels (if using a supervised method) that are often subjective. Using data from the internet is also dangerous because it is next to impossible to have humans annotate every piece of training data without spending a large amount of money, and learning from problematic input data can lead to problematic situations.To make this less vague, take the 2016 example where Tay, a chatbot made by Microsoft and trained on Twitter data, became extremely racist in less than a day of online training (https://twitter.com/geraldmellor/status/712880710328139776). Attempting to determine causation in a data driven sense is a slippery slope, and until AI solves the data-driven generalization problem (which I believe may be never) I wouldn't build a system like this in production until I could guarantee significant human supervision and have looked at the ethical implications on those who do not financially benefit from the proposed system.

It's human nature to possess both strengths and weaknesses. Now if you're hiring, capitalism on the strengths with regards that position and look for ways to mitigate the weaknesses. My formula is "Understand human nature, capitalize on strengths and derive strategies to mitigate weaknesses". I hope I answered you correctly?
