HT x sharing, enjoyed listening:

• Compare current to #gofAI begging #ML algos & tools

• Cool #RichSutton #TheBitterLessonInML remark that generic algos, w/o use of larger real datasets for training models, will beat expert algos & shorter datasets.

• Remark of synthetic data for training, yet employ with caution, and only helpful for some cases.

• Cool Q&A long answer for now is too late for keeping free internet datasets non-contaminated of synthetic BS .

Help from older folk please: In the earlier days of artificial intelligence (GOFAI) - say, the 1980s - there was an aphorism to the effect that once you had found the right data representation for your problem you had pretty much solved your problem (i.e. choice of representation dominates choice of algorithm).

I would greatly appreciate (some approximation to) the actual text of the aphorism and, if possible, some citation to its origin.

Thanks!
