The_Master_Algorithm_Pedros_DomingosIn episode 20 we chat with Pedro Domingos of the University of Washington, who has just published a book The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World.

We get some insight into Linear Dynamical Systems, which the Datta Lab at Harvard Medical School is doing some interesting work with. Plus, we take a listener question about using video games to generate labeled data (spoiler alert, it’s an awesome idea!)

We’re in the final hours of our Fundraising Campaign and we need your help!
