In the episode I explain the attention, the self-attention and the multi-head attention mechanisms for both Transformers encoder and Decoder, and also the pos...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about the use of active learning for anomaly detection. In an anomaly detection scenario, most of the time we don't have a labeled dataset, so we have the help of an expert to annotate it. Using active learning we can hugely decrease the amount of the data to be annotated by the expert, making the job much more efficient. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcas...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about the problem of multimodal learning, where we train a network using paired modalities of data, like image and text.  With this learning strategy we achieve more robust embeddings and enable some new applications, like the Google Multisearch.

Hey guys, in this episode I receive as guest my professor at Sorbonne Laure Soulier. In the episode she talk a lot about Information Retrieval and NLP, which is the subject of her PhD and she current research. We discuss about conversational models (chatbots) and also explainability from Data to Text models.  In a second part of the episode, I asked her a lot of questions about her PhD and so...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about Data2Vec, a revolutionary algorithm that is able to learn from 3 different data modalities, audio, text and image and be better or comparable than previous state of the art methods. Also this algorithm uses a self-supervised approach, which means that it doesn’t use labels to the training. If you want to better understand it go listen to the episode!  In...

Hey guys, in this episode I have as guest Joe Scarffe, Chief Market Officer at Twine. In this episode we talk about bias an ethics in the datasets and also in the artificial intelligence algorithms. We discuss about some well known bias present in video and audio datasets like gender, age, skin color, accent and also some non trivial bias like the combination of the previous ones, the inference of...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about how artificial intelligence is impacting our lives directly and indirectly, how many aspects of our life are controlled by AI algorithms. In the episode I give a lot of examples, like recommendation systems in social media, voice assistants, facial recognition, medicine and much more!

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about no code data science solution, platforms that you can create entire solutions of data science, since the data analysis and manipulation until the creation of machine learning model without writing a single line of code. In the podcast I talk about two solutions, KNIME and Dataiku, go listen to it to know their pros and cons! Instagram: https://www.instagram.c...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about how to make a Data Science project from scratch. In the episode I start talking about a set of steps that you need to follow to make your project, since the formulation of the hypothesis till the monitoring your model into production. After, I talk about how I applied these steps to make my fraud detection project. This episode is really practical and can hel...

Hey guys, in this episode I explain all (or almost all) terms related to artificial intelligence. If you get lost in the middle of those terms that you heard and abbreviations this episode is for you, in it I explain from the basics, like what's an algorithm till the state of the art learning techniques and making connections between them. The goal of this episode is to be a dictionary to you bett...

Hey guys, in this episode I explain what the Reinforcement Learning. In the episode I give some application of where Reinforcement Learning is being used and then I explain the basic concepts of an agent, an environment, a reward, the states and transitions. Then, I talk in a really high level about the ideia behind the main algorithms like Q-Learning, Deep-Learning, Actor Critic, PPO, DDPG... In...

Hey guys, in this episode of the podcast I explain what are neural networks and how they work. In the episode I talk about the relationship between our brain and the neural network architecture and also how they are trained, using the famous algorithm of back-propagation. After understanding how neural nets work, I discuss if these "artificial intelligence" algorithm are really intelligent. Instag...

Hey guys, in this episode a have as guest the ex Oxford researcher Shrinivasan Sankar. In the episode Shrini talk about his research on Deep Learning and Active Learning, his transition from academia to an agroTech startup and also about his youtube channel, AI Bites.

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about the pre training process of the state of the art NLP and computer vision transformer architectures. Since 2017 we train NLP (BERT, GPT, ELECTRA) networks with a masked language model using a self-supervised procedure, and now (since 2022) we are also able to train vision (MAE) networks using the same masked language model procedure. This way of self-supervise...

Hey guys, in this episode I talk about the how to attack a neural network and also how to defend your network against these attacks.

I also talk about how to defend your network fr...

Hey guys, in this episode I explain how an autonomous vehicle can learn to drive in a specific city and be able to generalize the driving knowledge to any other city.
