Today is #InternationalWomeninEngineeringDay. A few of the people who built the ground we stand on: 𝗔𝗱𝗮 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲, 1843, wrote the first computer program before there was a computer to run it. 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗛𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿, 1959, built the first compiler and made programming readable. 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝗵𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗻, 1962, calculated the orbital mechanics that put John Glenn around the Earth and brought him back. 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗿𝗲𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗹𝘁𝗼𝗻, 1969, wrote the Apollo 11 flight software and coined the term "#SoftwareEngineering." 𝗞𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗻 𝗦𝗽ä𝗿𝗰𝗸 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗲𝘀, 1972, gave us TF-IDF. Half of modern search and retrieval still rests on this idea. 𝗙𝗲𝗶-𝗙𝗲𝗶 𝗟𝗶, 2009, built ImageNet, the dataset that launched the deep learning era. Diverse perspectives don't just build better #AI. They built AI. At 8th Element, we keep working to honor that lineage in who we hire, who we listen to, and whose problems we choose to solve. #WomenInEngineering #INWED #8thElement Prashanth Kasturi Santosh Rajput SreeRama Evani Raghuram Mylavarapu Rajarshi Sanyal Sai K Mayank Thapliyal Ramesh Paspunuti Tejasree Arun
