Re: [Mifos-developer] Fwd: Impact Challenge – Google AI
My 2 cents
Could we for a focused group in the next 1 week, have brainstorming on the
problems that can be solved using AI.
Subsequently, we could put a proposal before end of December. I am ready to
volunteer to steer the discussions. I am also absolutely okay to just be an
active contributor.
Regards
Lalit

Lalit,
Thanks for volunteering to help steer the discussion - happy to have you
step up to help in that role.
Echoing what Myrle said, let's give people some time to flesh out their
ideas on their own and then we can bring them to the table for
cross-pollination. Let's have this process occur through mid to late next
week and then we can collaboratively discuss on the ideas brought forward.
I've had a couple discussions with several community members around
ideas/concepts that aren't mutually exclusive and could align together
cohesively.
Lalit - I would appreciate you further fleshing out what you worked on
during GSOC and to share with community your expertise on ML front.
Ed

I recently learned (and it fits with my personal experience too), that
brainstorming is more effective at developing multiple unique creative
ideas, if people develop some ideas independently of each other before they
bring ideas together. The reason is that when brainstorming together, one
person's ideas will tend to set a direction and lock people's direction of
thought prematurely onto that direction.
There's nothing wrong with brainstorming together to "cross-pollinate", but
to be most effective people should prepare by sitting down alone before the
meeting to come up with some ideas on your own.

Myrle
