Elephant and Monkey story in research| Dataknobs
Elephant and Monkey storyThere were 2 villages. First village had an elephant. Second village had a monkey. Everyday elephants and a monkey used to find food in the jungle for their villagers. Elephant used to go thru known paths in the Jungle. If an elephant found food, he could easily get it by the power of his trunk. Elephant could carry plenty for the whole village. If an elephant could not find food in a given direction, it was very difficult to try a second direction. Villagers have to sleep without eating food if the elephant does not find food in two attempts. Villagers were unhappy with the Elephant as they could not get food everyday. On another hand, the 2nd village used to get some food every day. Their Monkey was quick. Monkey used to climb and jump through trees. If Monkey did not find food in one direction, Monkey went in 20 different directions. Monkey could invent new paths. Monkey always found food. However Monkey was small. Monkey has to struggle to pluck food from trees. Monkey have to make multiple trips to carry food. Even after multiple trips the monkey could not carry enough for the whole village. Villagers were unhappy with Monkey too as Monkey could not bring required food. A tourist went to both villages and noticed both methods. He brought two villages together and asked Elephant and Monkey to collaborate. Everyday in Morning, Monkey used to go in different directions and check where food was. Then Monkey used to sit on the Elephant back and navigate him to go to a place where food is. Elephant could pluck and carry plenty of food for both villages. Both villagers were happy with this approach. In above analogy Link on my Linkedin post - https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/monkey-elephant-story-manage-machine-learning-prashant-k-dhingra/ |
