   Am I hearing this right, that they made a decision model based on Typesafe's new paradigm, and actually made a model better than Jev based on Typesafe's own ranking?

   And it's only been a few weeks.

      They have to have decision models already in production. Part of their business is detecting bots, DDoSers and spammers.

         Yeah that's a decision tree, random Forest or some other machine learning classifier. They have existed for a long time

            I'm all for rebranding discriminative models as decision models, though.

            "Discriminative" always had pointlessly bad optics, but I knew it was over when I started seeing prominent machine learning researchers who p=100% knew better describe discriminative models as generative because that was the buzzword of the year. "Decision model" sells the value proposition much better and doesn't sound like an anti-woke crusade.

               Decision models have long been called `choice` models to may understanding. Huge statistical literature on dynamic discrete choice models and inference!

            I think you just called me old.
