Franziskos Kyriakopoulos helps investors figure out if a company is really doing Industrial AI and what the quality of the data or the models are and if the business model works. He explains in the podcast how he does this and what role the AI Act plays. Franziskos Kyriakopoulos is the founder of the company 7LYTIX. He knows Machine Learning very well and is one of the thought leaders in the Linz...

Prof. Dr. Frank Hutter and his team presented a "radically new approach" to tabular classification. It is a new tabular data classification method that takes < 1 second & yields SOTA performance (competitive with the best AutoML pipelines in an hour). So far, it is limited in scale, though: it can only tackle problems up to 1000 training examples, 100 features and 10 classes. It works best when al...

Several conveyor belts transport chocolate bars: They are part of the demonstrator machine that shows how Artificial Intelligence can be used for motion control. What remains to be done in a real factory is to pack the chocolate bars – automated, of course. In this Intelligent Infeed Demonstrator machine from Siemens Digital Industries, the chocolate bars must be placed in evenly spaced slots on t...

In this episode we have three guests from ABB and talk about the augmented operator - what is it supposed to do, how was it built and where will it be used? One requirement is the LSTM algorithm. 25 years ago, Schmidhuber and Hochreiter developed the LSTM algorithm. The breakthrough came with the tech companies from Silicon Valley. But the automation industry also uses the approach. ABB developed...

Michael Welsch is a mechanical engineer. His approach makes data accountable. A neural network learns to decompose and reconstruct a company's data lake, which it can only do if it learns to model the inner relationships step by step. The AI software is then capitalized on the company's balance sheet as a proxy for the actual data lake. Welsch presented his idea to some auditors and large accounti...
