Edward McFowland III | Anomalous Pattern Detection & Model Building
Edward McFowland III (Harvard Business School) describes the differences between "anomalies" and "anomalous patterns". Edward describes how this informs modeling strategies, in particular, when to use an off-the-shelf model versus building a bespoke model from scratch. He then covers how to draw inspiration from different scientific and technical fields.
