I love finding academics and skilled practitioners who take the time to share something they find interesting in data mining and machine learning.  This week, Edwin Chen’s answer on Quora caught my eye.

Edwin appears to be currently at DropBox as a Data Scientist and his past companies include Google, Twitter, and a degree from MIT.  Obviously someone to listen to when he replies.

Definitely worth following on Quora (where he appears to be more active) and on his blog.
