> One of the very interesting things about ML being such a corporation driven field is that it's incredible how quickly relatively recent research makes its way into products.
I think this is just true for really anything that falls purely within the domain of the computational sciences. For a ground breaking drug to hit the market, it takes 10 years of FDA trials, for high speed trains it requires large teams of construction workers only after years of safety work.
In the world of software as it stands today, deploying a new model for something can be virtually instant in some cases, and even in the worst cases, it isn't taking people years to improve a small attribute of their product.
