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...

The success of a machine learning model depends on several factors and events. True generalization to data that the model has never seen before is more a chimera than a reality. But under specific conditions a well trained machine learning model can gene...

In this episode I am completing the explanation about the integration fitchain-oceanprotocol that allows secure on-premise compute to operate in the decentralized data marketplace designed by Ocean Protocol. As mentioned in the show, this is a picture th...
