Validate neural networks without data with Dr. Charles Martin (Ep. 70)

In this episode, I am with Dr. Charles Martin from Calculation Consulting a machine learning and data science consulting company based in San Francisco. We speak about the nuts and bolts of deep neural networks and some impressive findings about the way they work.  The questions that Charles answers in the show are essentially two: Why is regularisation in deep learning seemingly quite different than regularisation in other areas on ML? How can we dominate DNN in a theoretically principled way?   References  The WeightWatcher tool for predicting the accuracy of Deep Neural Networks https://github.com/CalculatedContent/WeightWatcher Slack channel https://weightwatcherai.slack.com/ Dr. Charles Martin Blog http://calculatedcontent.com and channel https://www.youtube.com/c/calculationconsulting Implicit Self-Regularization in Deep Neural Networks: Evidence from Random Matrix Theory and Implications for Learning - Charles H.

Complex video analysis made easy with Videoflow (Ep. 69)

In this episode I am with Jadiel de Armas, senior software engineer at Disney and author of Videflow, a Python framework that facilitates the quick development of complex video analysis applications and other series-processing based applications in a multiprocessing environment.  I have inspected the videoflow repo on Github and some of the capabilities of this framework and I must say that it’s really interesting. Jadiel is going to tell us a lot more than what you can read from Github    References Videflow Github official repository https://github.com/videoflow/videoflow  

Episode 68: AI and the future of banking with Chris Skinner [RB]

In this episode I have a wonderful conversation with Chris Skinner. Chris and I recently got in touch at The banking scene 2019, fintech conference recently held in Brussels. During that conference he talked as a real trouble maker - that’s how he defines himself - saying that “People are not educated with loans, credit, money” and that “Banks are failing at digital”. After I got my hands on his last book Digital Human, I invited him to the show to ask him a few questions about innovation, regulation and technology in finance.

Episode 67: Classic Computer Science Problems in Python

Today I am with David Kopec, author of Classic Computer Science Problems in Python, published by Manning Publications. His book deepens your knowledge of problem solving techniques from the realm of computer science by challenging you with interesting and realistic scenarios, exercises, and of course algorithms. There are examples in the major topics any data scientist should be familiar with, for example search, clustering, graphs, and much more.
