Autonomous cars cannot drive. Here is why. (Ep. 210) 21.11.2022 35:04
If you think that the problem of self-driving cars has been solved, think twice. As a matter of fact, the problem of self-driving cars cannot be solved with the technical solutions that companies are currently considering. Don't get fooled by marketing and PR on social media. Whoever is telling you they solved the problem of driving a vehicle fully autonomously, they are lying. Here is why. Our...

[RB] Is studying AI in academia a waste of time? (Ep. 208) 02.11.2022 20:01
Companies and other business entities are actively involved in defining data products and applied research every year. Academia has always played a role in creating new methods and solutions/algorithms in the fields of machine learning and artificial intelligence. However, there is doubt about how powerful and effective such research efforts are. Is studying AI in academia a waste of time? Our S...
Private machine learning done right (Ep. 207) 25.10.2022 26:45
There are many solutions to private machine learning. I am pretty confident when I say that the one we are speaking in this episode is probably one of the most feasible and reliable. I am with Daniel Huynh, CEO of Mithril Security, a graduate from Ecole Polytechnique with a specialisation in AI and data science. He worked at Microsoft on Privacy Enhancing Technologies under the office of the CTO...

[RB] What are generalist agents and why they can change the AI game (Ep. 205) 05.10.2022 21:06
That deep learning alone is not sufficient to solve artificial general intelligence, is more and more accepted statement. Generalist agents have great properties that can overcome some of the limitations of single-task deep learning models. Be aware, we are still far from AGI, though. So what are generalist agents?

LIDAR, cameras and autonomous vehicles (Ep. 204) 28.09.2022 19:56
How does an autonomous vehicle see? How does it sense the road? They are equipped of many sensors, of course. Are they all powerful enough? Small enough to hide them and make your car look beautiful? In this episode I speak about LIDAR, high resolution cameras and some machine learning methods adapted to a minimal number of sensors. Our Sponsors Ready to advance your career in data science? Uni...
Predicting Out Of Memory Kill events with Machine Learning (Ep. 203) 20.09.2022 19:33
Sometimes applications crash. Some other times applications crash because memory is exhausted. Such issues exist because of bugs in the code, or heavy memory usage for reasons that were not expected during design and implementation. Can we use machine learning to predict and eventually detect out of memory kills from the operating system? Apparently, the Netflix app many of us use on a daily basis...
