How are organisations doing with data and AI? (Ep. 168)

A few weeks ago I was the guest of a very interesting show called "AI Today". In that episode I talked about some of the biggest trends emerging in AI and machine learning today as well as how organizations are dealing with and managing their data.

Don't fight! Cooperate. Generative Teaching Networks (Ep. 167)

Remember GANs? Generative Adversarial Networks for synthetic data generation? There is a new method called Generative Teaching Networks, that uses similar concepts - just quite the opposite :P - to train models faster, better and with less data.
Enjoy the show!
