In this episode, our guest is Eugene Dubossarsky, who is the chief data scientist at AlphaZetta and co-founder at multiple data science companies in Australia. He is a managing partner of the Global Training Academy and he is teaching too. Eugene is dealing with machine learning since the 80s, so you can imagine he has a very strong opinion about different topics in this industry. We talked about random forests, neural nets, boosting strategies, the importance of understanding data and statistics. We couldn't skip talking about the effects of the current and upcoming crisis either.
