Carlos Guestrin - Explaining the Predictions of Machine Learning Models - TWiML Talk #7
My guest this time is Carlos Guestrin, the Amazon professor of Machine Learning at the University of Washington. Carlos and I recorded this podcast at a conference, shortly after Apple's acquisition of his company Turi. Our focus for this podcast is the explainability of machine learning algorithms. In particular, we discuss some interesting new research published by his team at U of W. The notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/7.

Angie Hugeback - Generating Training Data for Your ML Models - TWiML Talk #6
My guest this time is Angie Hugeback, who is principal data scientist at Spare5. Spare5 helps customers generate the high-quality labeled training datasets that are so crucial to developing accurate machine learning models. In this show, Angie and I cover a ton of the real-world practicalities of generating training datasets. We talk through the challenges faced by folks that need to label training data, and how to develop a cohesive system for achieving performing the various labeling tasks you’re likely to encounter. We discuss some of the ways that bias can creep into your training data and how to avoid that. And we explore the some of the popular 3rd party options that companies look at for scaling training data production, and how they differ. Spare5 has graciously sponsored this episode; you can learn more about them at spare5.com. The notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/6.

Joshua Bloom - Machine Learning for the Stars & Productizing AI - TWiML Talk #5
My guest this time is Joshua Bloom. Josh is professor of astronomy at the University of California, Berkeley and co-founder and Chief Technology Officer of machine learning startup Wise.io. In this wide-ranging interview you’ll learn how Josh and his research group at Berkeley pioneered the use of machine learning for the analysis of images from robotic infrared telescopes. We discuss the founding of his company, Wise.io, which uses machine learning to help customers deliver better customer support. That wasn’t where the company started though, and you’ll hear why and how they evolved to serve this market. We talk about his company’s technology stack and data science pipeline in fair detail, and discuss some of the key technology decisions they’ve made in building their product. We also discuss some interesting open research challenges in machine learning and AI. The notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/5.

Charles Isbell - Interactive AI, Plus Improving ML Education - TWiML Talk #4
My guest this time is Charles Isbell, Jr., Professor and Senior Associate Dean in the College of Computing at Georgia Institute of Technology. Charles and I go back a bit… in fact he’s the first AI researcher I ever met. His research focus is what he calls “interactive artificial intelligence,” a discipline of AI focused specifically on the interactions between AIs and humans. We explore what this means and some of the interesting research results in this field. One part of this discussion I found particularly interesting was the intersection between his AI research and marketing and behavioral economics. Beyond his research, Charles is well known in the ML and AI worlds for his popular Machine Learning course sequence on Udacity, which he teaches with Brown University professor Michael Littman, and for the Online Master’s of Science in Computer Science program that he helped launch at Georgia Tech. We also spend quite a bit of time talking about what’s really missing in machine learning education and how to make it more accessible. The notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/4.
