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...

In the last episode How to master optimisation in deep learning I explained some of the most challenging tasks of deep learning and some methodologies and algorithms to improve the speed of convergence of a minimisation method for deep learning. I explor...

The secret behind deep learning is not really a secret. It is function optimisation. What a neural network essentially does, is optimising a function. In this episode I illustrate a number of optimisation methods and explain which one is the best and why...

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 als...

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

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

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.
