Understand grammar

– Who are we talking about?

– Past, present or future?

– Compound sentences

Understand context

– Email: Re:, Fwd:, attachments

Really

• Makes the world a better place • Needle in a very large haystack– Actually needs a petabyte-scale platform

• Multi-modal: no single trick works– Hybrid analytics

• No labeled data– Semi-supervised learning

– Cold start problem

• Sparse & high-dimensional

– Graph based features & change over time

• Adversarial– Feedback & online learning

Technically

SUMMARY: WHY HUNTING CRIMINALS IS COOL
