On top of this, pre-existing societal biases are being reinforced and promulgated at previously unheard of scales as we increasingly integrate machine learning models into our daily lives. Put simply, we are reduced to the inputs of an algorithm. It just so happens that dividing people increases engagement and makes economic sense.

Using random effects models in prediction problems

The Unofficial Google Data Science Blog

Finally, through a case study of a real-world prediction problem, we also argue that Random Effect models should be considered alongside penalized GLM's even for pure prediction problems. Random effects models are a useful tool for both exploratory analyses and prediction problems. bandit problems).

Although it’s not perfect, [Note: These are statistical approximations, of course!] GloVe and word2vec differ in their underlying methodology: word2vec uses predictive models, while GloVe is count based. You can home in on an optimal value by specifying, say, 32 dimensions and varying this value by powers of 2.
