This is the audio podcast for the ML Street Talk YouTube channel at https://www.youtube.com/c/MachineLearningStreetTalk Thanks for checking us out! We think that scientists and engineers are the heroes of our generation. Each week we have a hard-hitting discussion with the leading thinkers in the AI space. Street Talk is unabashedly technical and non-commercial, so you will hear no annoying pitches. Corporate- and MBA-speak is banned on street talk, "data product", "digital transformation" are banned, we promise :) Dr. Tim Scarfe, Dr. Yannic Kilcher and Dr. Keith Duggar.
