Hah! 20 years machine learning? These days, deep learning is all the rage yet it only really took off around 2012, and has rendered many of the old methods obsolete. The only “survivor” from old school ML is random forests.
@Oracle: it’s not that simple - the combination of modern GPUs and tons of available data, automatic differentiation software, have made deep networks feasible now. That’s why Salesforce is eating your lunch. It’s also may be why SAP and Oracle have planned layoffs in May...
That person will likely be a bit bitter because their life’s work has been brutally surpassed by deep networks that don’t require any strong insight or feature engineering.
