This Week in Machine Learning & AI Podcast
Recently I had a chance to catch up with a friend and friend of the show, Josh Bloom, vice president of data & analytics at GE Digital. If you’ve been listening for a while, you already know that Josh was on the show around this time last year, just prior to the acquisition of his company Wise.io by GE Digital.
This show features my interview with Drew Conway, Founder and CEO of Alluvium. The focus of our interview, and of Drew’s presentation, is an interesting set of observations he makes about the role of cognitive biases in data science.

My guest for this second show in our O’Reilly AI series is Doug Eck of Google Brain. Doug did a keynote at the O’Reilly conference on Magenta, Google’s project for melding machine learning and the arts. Magenta’s goal is to produce open-source tools and models that help people in their personal creative processes. We talk about the newly announced Performance RNN project, which uses neural networks to create expressive, AI-generated music.
