Andrey Kurnikov：The Gradient是一个在线社区驱动的杂志，旨在讨论人工智能和机器学习领域的研究和趋势，提供易于理解的技术性概述和观点。
Hugh：他从斯坦福大学经济学专业毕业，将加入Facebook的Kari实验室从事博弈论和机器学习方面的工作，并计划秋季申请机器学习研究生课程。他加入The Gradient是为了提升写作能力，并促进机器学习研究成果的传播。
Adi：他从斯坦福大学数学专业毕业，将开始攻读计算机科学硕士学位，主要专注于统计学习理论，并计划申请AI研究生课程。他创建The Gradient的初衷是为了建立一个AI领域的社区，并提升技术写作能力，填补媒体报道和学术论文之间的信息空白，提供更易于理解的AI研究信息。
Nancy：她从斯坦福大学数学和计算机科学专业毕业，曾在Illumina公司和一家专注于AI自动化的初创公司工作。The Gradient的创立初衷是为了弥合媒体对AI的宣传与AI研究和发展之间存在的差距，并关注AI对社会未来发展的影响。The Gradient为那些没有大型平台宣传其研究成果的研究人员提供了一个展示平台。
Andrey Kurnikov: The Gradient is an online community-driven magazine that aims to discuss research and trends in artificial intelligence and machine learning. It provides accessible and technically informed overviews and perspectives.
Hugh: He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in economics and will join Facebook's Kari Lab to work on game theory and machine learning. He plans to apply to graduate school in machine learning in the fall. He joined The Gradient to improve his writing skills and promote the dissemination of machine learning research findings.
Adi: He graduated from Stanford University with a degree in mathematics and will begin a master's program in computer science, focusing on statistical learning theory. He plans to apply to graduate school in AI. He created The Gradient to build a community in the AI field and improve his technical writing skills. It aims to bridge the gap between media coverage and academic papers, providing more easily understandable AI research information.
Nancy: She graduated from Stanford University with degrees in mathematics and computer science and has worked at Illumina and a startup focused on AI automation. The Gradient was created to bridge the gap between media hype and AI research and development, and to focus on the impact of AI on the future development of society. The Gradient provides a platform for researchers who do not have large platforms to promote their research findings.
Deep Dive
The Gradient, an online AI magazine, was born out of a desire to bridge the gap between media hype and actual AI research. The founders, all former Stanford classmates, reminisce about the early days of the project, their motivations, and the collaborative efforts that brought it to life.
