I am an aspiring AI/ML-researcher slash data scientist, currently exploring the space and discovering what I want to discover.

I'll be using this space to share random thoughts, discoveries, and blog-post-esque Jupyter Notebooks.

Stumbled across this post on Substack by
@deliprao.bsky.social today that I really appreciated as someone trying to break into the field. Simple categorizations can seem trite at times, but they can be deceptively profound in breaking down complex problems.

Imagine that for each of a school's programs, demographic "A"
is accepted at a higher rate than demographic "B". Does that mean that "A" was accepted to the school at a higher rate than "B" overall?

Nope!
