In this episode, I am with Aaron Gokaslan, computer vision researcher, AI Resident at Facebook AI Research. Aaron is the author of OpenGPT-2, a parallel NLP model to the most discussed version that OpenAI decided not to release because too accurate to be published.
We discuss about image-to-image translation, the dangers of the GPT-2 model and the future of AI.
Moreover, Aaron provides some very interesting links and demos that will blow your mind!
Enjoy the show!

After reinforcement learning agents doing great at playing Atari video games, Alpha Go, doing financial trading, dealing with language modeling, let me tell you the real story here.
In this episode I want to shine some light on reinforcement learning (RL) and the limitations that every practitioner should consider before taking certain directions. RL seems to work so well! What is wrong with it?

Training neural networks faster usually involves the usage of powerful GPUs. In this episode I explain an interesting method from a group of researchers from Google Brain, who can train neural networks faster by squeezing the hardware to their needs and making the training pipeline more dense.

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

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?

In this episode I talk about a new paradigm of learning, which can be found a bit blurry and not really different from the other methods we know of, such as supervised and unsupervised learning. The method I introduce here is called self-supervised learning.

The successes of deep learning for text analytics, also introduced in a recent post about sentiment analysis and published here are undeniable. Many other tasks in NLP have also benefitted from the superiority of deep learning methods over more traditional approaches. Such extraordinary results have also been possible due to the neural network approach to learn meaningful character and word embeddings, that is the representation space in which semantically similar objects are mapped to nearby vectors.
All this is strictly related to a field one might initially find disconnected or off-topic: biology.

The rapid diffusion of social media like Facebook and Twitter, and the massive use of different types of forums like Reddit, Quora, etc., is producing an impressive amount of text data every day.
There is one specific activity that many business owners have been contemplating over the last five years, that is identifying the social sentiment of their brand, by analysing the conversations of their users.
In this episode I explain how one can get the best shot at classifying sentences with deep learning and word embedding.

In this episode I speak to Alexandr Honchar, data scientist and owner of blog https://medium.com/@alexrachnog
Alexandr has written very interesting posts about time series analysis for financial data. His blog is in my personal list of best tutorial blogs.
We discuss about financial time series and machine learning, what makes predicting the price of stocks a very challenging task and why machine learning might not be enough.
As usual, I ask Alexandr how he sees machine learning in the next 10 years. His answer - in my opinion quite futuristic - makes perfect sense.

It all starts from physics. The entropy of an isolated system never decreases… Everyone at school, at some point of his life, learned this in his physics class. What does this have to do with machine learning?
