A good machine learning problem can be defined as:

• There is an abundance of data, which is already labeled or where labels can be inferred.

• The data can be used to solve real problems.

• The problem relates to a domain you are passionate about or the problem you want to solve is your own and you can be your first customer.

• There is a platform where your data product can reach a massive audience, with mechanisms to gather feedback and improve.

• You can create this with minimal expense and time, hopefully using languages and tools you are familiar with.

• There is a way to monetize your product if it becomes successful.
