We model the problem of identifying a good algorithm from data as a statistical learning problem.
Technical Perspective: Algorithm Selection as a Learning Problem
"Data-Driven Algorithm Design," by Rishi Gupta and Tim Roughgarden, addresses the issue that the best algorithm to use for many problems depends on what the input "looks like."
The Remote Revolution Has to be Driven by Output, Not Salaries
The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic has thrown us all for a loop and forced countless companies to shutter their offices, warehouses, and everything else. Working remotely works best when you pay people for results, not by the hour. Many companies are still paying their employees salaries and they will find out just how hard it is to motivate an off-site employee when they’re paid the same no matter their output.
