About

This is a machine-learning-focused Podcast, where we interview people in the field of Artificial Intelligence and discuss interesting technical topics of Machine Learning. In the episodes, we focus on business-related use-cases (especially with Deep Learning ) and we also try to bring some technical white papers to the ground, not forgetting on the way that there are always some people behind the technology, so we try to understand their motivation and drive.
