In this episode I speak about a testing methodology for machine learning models that are supposed to be integrated in production environments.

The hype around GPT-3 is alarming and gives and provides us with the awful picture of people misunderstanding artificial intelligence. In response to some comments that claim GPT-3 will take developers' jobs, in this episode I express some personal opinions about the state of AI in generating source code (and in particular GPT-3).

There is definitely room for improvement in the family of algorithms of stochastic gradient descent. In this episode I explain a relatively simple method that has shown to improve on the Adam optimizer. But, watch out! This approach does not generalize well.

• More descent, less gradient

In this episode I speak about data transformation frameworks available for the data scientist who writes Python code.

In this episode I explain the frameworks that are the best equivalent to Pandas in bigdata contexts.

In this episode I speak with Filip Piekniewski about some of the most worth noting findings in AI and machine learning in 2019. As a matter of fact, the entire field of AI has been inflated by hype and claims that are hard to believe. A lot of the promises made a few years ago have revealed quite hard to achieve, if not impossible. Let's stay grounded and realistic on the potential of this amazing field of research, not to bring disillusion in the near future.

In this episode I make a non exhaustive list of machine learning tools and frameworks, written in Rust. Not all of them are mature enough for production environments. I believe that community effort can change this very quickly.

To make a comparison with the Python ecosystem I will cover frameworks for linear algebra (numpy), dataframes (pandas), off-the-shelf machine learning (scikit-learn), deep learning (tensorflow) and reinforcement learning (openAI).

Rust is the language of the future.

In the 3rd episode of Rust and machine learning I speak with Alec Mocatta.

In the second episode of Rust and Machine learning I am speaking with Luca Palmieri, who has been spending a large part of his career at the interception of machine learning and data engineering.

• Series Announcement - Zero to Production in Rust https://www.lpalmieri.com/posts/2020-05-10-announcement-zero-to-production-in-rust/

This is the first episode of a series about the Rust programming language and the role it can play in the machine learning field.

Rust is one of the most beautiful languages I have ever studied so far. I personally come from the C programming language, though for professional activities in machine learning I had to switch to the loved and hated Python language.

This episode is clearly not providing you with an exhaustive list of the benefits of Rust, nor its capabilities. For this you can check the references and start getting familiar with what I think it's going to be the language of the next 20 years.
