Given his age, how did Daniel Gross break into machine learning? i.e. where did he learn the theory ? Is he purely self taught?

[allenz]

He's self-taught. See http://www.inc.com/articles/2011/03/how-19-year-old-daniel-g... and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cue_(search_engine).

What's with the "given his age" part? Is he too young or too old to learn something?

[AndrewUnmuted]

Most accomplished individuals in machine learning have obtained PhDs at one of the leading academic research institutions. I think the OP was wondering if Gross took a different route, since he seems on the younger side.

What has he done with machine learning? He sounds like a good coder, but not really an ML heavy-weight...
