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? To find out, listen to the show.   Reference...

Deep learning is the future. Get a crash course on deep learning. Now! In this episode I speak to Oliver Zeigermann, author of Deep Learning Crash Course published by Manning Publications at https://www.manning.com/livevideo/deep-learning-crash-course Ol...

In this episode I met three crazy researchers from KULeuven (Belgium) who found a method to fool surveillance cameras and stay hidden just by holding a special t-shirt. We discussed about the technique they used and some consequences of their findings. T...

There is a connection between gradient descent based optimizers and the dynamics of damped harmonic oscillators. What does that mean? We now have a better theory for optimization algorithms.In this episode I explain how all this works. All the formulas I...

How are differential equations related to neural networks? What are the benefits of re-thinking neural network as a differential equation engine? In this episode we explain all this and we provide some material that is worth learning. Enjoy the show!   R...

Since the beginning of AI in the 1950s and until the 1980s, symbolic AI approaches have dominated the field. These approaches, also known as expert systems, used mathematical symbols to represent objects and the relationship between them, in order to dep...

The successes that deep learning systems have achieved in the last decade in all kinds of domains are unquestionable. Self-driving cars, skin cancer diagnostics, movie and song recommendations, language translation, automatic video surveillance, digital ...

In this episode I speak about how important reproducible machine learning pipelines are. When you are collaborating with diverse teams, several tasks will be distributed among different individuals. Everyone will have good reasons to change parts of your...

Have you ever wanted to get an estimate of the uncertainty of your neural network? Clearly Bayesian modelling provides a solid framework to estimate uncertainty by design. However, there are many realistic cases in which Bayesian sampling is not really a...
