Episode 19: How to completely change your data analytics strategy with deep learning

Over the past few years, neural networks have re-emerged as powerful machine-learning models, reaching state-of-the-art results in several fields like image recognition and speech processing. More recently, neural network models started to be applied also to textual data in order to deal with natural language, and there too with promising results. In this episode I explain why is deep learning performing the way it does, and what are some of the most tedious causes of failure.

Episode 18: Machines that learn like humans

Artificial Intelligence allow machines to learn patterns from data. The way humans learn however is different and more efficient. With Lifelong Machine Learning, machines can learn the way human beings do, faster, and more efficiently

Episode 17: Protecting privacy and confidentiality in data and communications

Talking about security of communication and privacy is never enough, especially when political instabilities are driving leaders towards decisions that will affect people on a global scale

Episode 16: 2017 Predictions in Data Science

We strongly believe 2017 will be a very interesting year for data science and artificial intelligence. Let me tell you what I expect and why.

Episode 15: Statistical analysis of phenomena that smell like chaos

Is the market really predictable? How do stock prices increase? What is their dynamics? Here is what I think about the magics and the reality of predictions applied to markets and the stock exchange.

Episode 14: The minimum required by a data scientist

Why the job of the data scientist can disappear soon. What is required by a data scientist to survive inflation.

Episode 13: Data Science and Fraud Detection at iZettle

Data science is making the difference also in fraud detection. In this episode I have a conversation with an expert in the field, Engineer Eyad Sibai, who works at iZettle, a fraud detection company

Episode 12: EU Regulations and the rise of Data Hijackers

Extracting knowledge from large datasets with large number of variables is always tricky. Dimensionality reduction helps in analyzing high dimensional data, still maintaining most of the information hidden behind complexity. Here are some methods that you must try before further analysis (Part 1).

Episode 11: Representative Subsets For Big Data Learning

How would you perform accurate classification on a very large dataset by just looking at a sample of it

Episode 10: History and applications of Deep Learning

What is deep learning?If you have no patience, deep learning is the result of training many layers of non-linear processing units for feature extraction and data transformation e.g. from pixel, to edges, to shapes, to object classification, to scene description, captioning, etc.
