Ask HN: Ways to automatically make inferences from data?
2 by akudha | 2 comments on Hacker News.
Suppose I have sales data - it is easy to run a few queries to find out top selling items, top regions etc. But, is it possible to do this on any set of data, without knowing anything meta about the data at all? In other words, can this be generalized? Are there any models, theories I can learn to achieve this?
