This Week in Machine Learning & AI
As you all know, a few weeks ago, I spent some time in SF at the Artificial Intelligence Conference. While there, I sat down with James Guszcza, US Chief Data Scientist at Deloitte Consulting to talk about human factors in machine intelligence. James was in San Francisco to give a talk at the O’Reilly AI Conference on “Why AI needs human-centered design.”
I sat down with James Guszcza, US Chief Data Scientist at Deloitte Consulting to talk about human factors in machine intelligence. We explored the many reasons why the human element is so important in ML and AI, along with useful ways to build algorithms and models that reflect this human element, while avoiding out problems like group-think and bias.

Like last week’s interview with Bruno Goncalves, this week’s interview was also recorded at the last O’Reilly AI Conference back in New York in June. Also like last week’s show, this week’s is also focused on Natural Language Processing and I think you’ll enjoy it. I’m joined by Jonathan Mugan, co-founder and CEO of Deep…

My guest this week is Jennifer Prendki, former senior data science manager and principal data scientist at Walmart Labs, since moved on to become head of data science at Atlassian. We focus on some of the practices she helped develop and implement at Walmart around the measurement and management of and more generally, building agile processes and teams for, machine learning.
