  • PILL #2 - Inductive Biases


    Welcome to a new episode of "PMDS Pillz" by Polimi Data Scientists!

    In this second pill, Federico and Francesco take us on a brief tour around the concept of inductive biases, to discuss some insights about the role of problem knowledge in the design of a Machine Learning solution. We will see how some simple assumptions in the context translate into practical decisions that can greatly boost performance!

    Mastering this concept gives us another precious key to open the black box of ML algorithms, you can't miss it!

  • Data Management: How industries can change their performance

    Hi everyone! One aspect of the wide field of Data Science that is usually missed in that of the management of data throughout its life cycle. Good data management is what enables the Data Scientist to work without interruptions.

    In today's episode we will be talking with Matteo Cimini, a Data Architect at Quantyca. He will guide us through the topic, explaining it as well as some of the current solutions for an efficient data management.

    Moreover, we will also discuss where does the Data Scientist fit into the company ecosystem and how they can leverage solutions such as Quantyca's to amplify the impact of their work in the company.

  • PILL #1 - The Lottery Ticket Hypothesis

    Welcome to a new podcast series by Polimi Data Scientists!

    In this first episode, we analyze the topic of the "Lottery Ticket Hypothesis". It is related to Neural Networks and focuses on the idea that it is possible to prune the weights of a Neural Network to obtain a subnetwork that can achieve performances similar to the entire network.
    In this way, the training expenses could be cut, saving money as well as time.
