This week we spoke with Sayak Paul, who is extremely active in the machine learning community. We discussed the AI landscape in India, unsupervised representation learning, data augmentation and contrastive learning, explainability, abstract scene representations and finally pruning and the recent super positions paper. I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you folks do too!
