In ML, where algorithms get published quickly and state-of-the-art frameworks are open-source, there isn't any first-mover advantage
-
Rather, competitive edge comes from data accumulation and infrastructure know-how
Which tends to benefit established large companies, rather than nimble upstarts with better tech
-
-
But also there are so many verticals established companies can't go deep enough into, and that's the opportunity for nimble upstarts.

"Better tech" is only 1/10th of the solution though. It's 100% the focus of papers but isn't all that's needed in real world :(
-
that's mainly due to the fact that all results are drawn from benchmark datasets, way different than the real world

Despite the neural nets being out there it doesn't mean enterprise will be able to deploy them effectively ;/

Agree in most cases. This however changes when there is new HW that provides uniquely useful data... then the edge is also access to that HW
-
And that can very well be in new contenders wheelhouse

Do you see this changing with new unsupervised algos / small data ai? Any such algos you think are promising to compete with supervised?

The "bigco's benefit most from new tech" argument seems to be broadly true, but it's easy to underestimate a small team with traction.

Larger companies might also have the edge for finding more skilled people, even with yhe issues with a recruitment processes.
