Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Before 1965, it was extremely difficult and time-consuming to analyze complicated signals, like radio or images. You could solve it, but you had to throw a ton of compute at it. That all changed with the invention of the Fast Fourier transform, which could efficiently break that signal down into the frequencies that are a part of it.
