Data is a complex topic, not only related to machine learning algorithms, but also and especially to privacy and security of individuals, the same individuals who create such data just by using the many mobile apps and services that characterize their di...

Despite what researchers claim about genetic evolution, in this episode we give a realistic view of the field.

In order to succeed with artificial intelligence, it is better to know how to fail first. It is easier than you think.Here are 9 easy steps to fail your AI startup.

The enthusiasm for artificial intelligence is raising some concerns especially with respect to some ventured conclusions about what AI can really do and what its direct descendent, artificial general intelligence would be capable of doing in the immediat...

In the aftermath of the Barclays Accelerator, powered by Techstars experience, one of the most innovative and influential startup accelerators in the world, I’d like to give back to the community lessons learned, including the need for confidence, soft-s...

In this episode I speak about Deep Learning technology applied to Alzheimer disorder prediction. I had a great chat with Saman Sarraf, machine learning engineer at Konica Minolta, former lab manager at the Rotman Research Institute at Baycrest, Universit...

In this episode, I speak about the requirements and the skills to become data scientist and join an amazing community that is changing the world with data analyticsa

In machine learning and data science in general it is very common to deal at some point with imbalanced datasets and class distributions. This is the typical case where the number of observations that belong to one class is significantly lower than those...

Ensemble methods have been designed to improve the performance of the single model, when the single model is not very accurate. According to the general definition of ensembling, it consists in building a number of single classifiers and then combining o...

Continuing the discussion of the last two episodes, there is one more aspect of deep learning that I would love to consider and therefore left as a full episode, that is parallelising and distributing deep learning on relatively large clusters. As a matt...
