Many #machinelearning algorithms, whether supervised or unsupervised, make use of distance measures.
Take k-NN for example, a technique often used for supervised learning. As a default, it often uses euclidean distance.
By itself, a great distance measure.
Knowing when to use which distance measure can help you go from a poor classifier to an accurate model.

[query] Is it a good idea to say a firm No due to medical reasons to a new night shift project I'm hired in?Accenture
I recently got a night shift project (2 days ago) that requires me to work from 10:30pm till 7:30am
I'm not comfortable with these timings and I'm thinking to ask my manager to put me on Bench (Due to medical reasons that involve mental health)
Is it a nice idea to say a firm No to a new project I'm hardlocked into, due to night shifts?

In my opinion, very little law firm work will ever be collaborative. It’s the nature of the billable hour (or contingency). We’re expected to meet briefly to get on the same page, and then head off alone to get the work done and make the money. I would suggest you look for in-house positions and ideally somewhere where being the lawyer will only be part of your job.
Frankly, a lot of this results from the billable hour. You can't collaborate on everything because it would essentially be double billing.
Going in house (and thus eliminating the billing issue) achieved my goal of achieving a more collaborate practice.
If your clients/firm/culture operates under flat fees or other alternative fee arrangements (and you team is efficient), you may be able to achieve this in private practice.
I think it's likely more of a firm/business culture thing than a type of law practice thing. I love big time litigation and especially enjoy collaborating on strategy, game plan, etc. But even on those kinds of cases, many attorneys prefer to take their piece of it and hole up in their office with it.
So I would focus on finding a firm or business with a very collaborative culture.
That’s a good thought! I’ve considered that...but I feel like regardless of what I do as a Corp attorney, a huge part of my job is always going to be sitting alone in my office reading & writing contracts...and I’m not sure there will be enough collaborative work to counteract that amount of solitary work. It’s good to hear that hasn’t been your experience though - gives me hope. Haha
I work in legal aid, and that’s what our days are like, even though we have separate clients and can privately do work if we want to. But our office is extremely close-knit and collegial: not all offices, even in legal aid, are like that.
I work at a boutique firm that serves as general counsel to local governments. It’s really rewarding because most of the work is transactional but you are also constantly attending board meetings and collaborating with other staff that work for the clients
Government offices are likely similar. No billable requirements, so they have time to collaborate.
Maybe working in Knowledge Management within a firm if that sort of thing interests you?
