SDS 002 : Machine Learning, Recommender Systems and The Future of Data with Hadelin de Ponteves

In this episode of the SuperDataScience Podcast, I chat with the Deep Learning Expert Hadelin de Ponteves. You will be able to have a look at the 6 supervised and unsupervised deep learning models, learn the idea to the question: why deep learning instead of machine learning, and discover TensorFlow and PyTorch as the two major tools in Deep Learning.

SDS 047: An Expert Overview of the Deep Learning Models, Supervised and Unsupervised

Every day your immune system is busy protecting you from the thousands of germs around you that can make you sick. It does its job so efficiently that you don’t even notice that it is at work. Micro-organisms are present in your gut and interact with your body during periods of health and disease. When the immune system hits the wrong target, however, it can unleash a torrent of disorders, including inflammatory diseases, cancer, and autoimmune disease. Come along and be enlightened by our experts in the field.

Panelists: Dr Eoin McKinney (Autoimmunity - Dept of Medicine), Dr Maike De La Roche (Immunity - CRUK), Dr Sam Forster (Microbiota - Sanger Institute). Chaired by Prof Clare Bryant (Innate Immunity - Dept of Vet Medicine).

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Jerry Overton, senior principal and distinguished technologist at DXC Technology. I wanted the perspective of someone who works across industries and with a variety of companies. I specifically wanted to explore the current state of data science and AI within companies and public sector agencies. As much as we talk about use cases, technologies, and algorithms, there are also important issues that practitioners like Overton need to address, including privacy, security, and ethics. Overton has long been involved in teaching and mentoring new data scientists, so we also discussed some tips and best practices he shares with new members of his team.

Now we live in a world of duality, never before has the world been so interconnected, yet disconnected. Never before has an individual been so empowered by one change, yet enslaved at the same time. In a parallel dimension where only the individual exists a new, modern day dichotomy arises between our digital and physical worlds - the illusion of truth and nature of control.

I like it when you share with me,
And I like that you like it too.
When you share we connect.
I want to know all there is about you
So I can make things better for you
I can make things safer for you,
Make things easier for you,
More control for you,
Control for you,
You.
Control.
You.
Control you.

Once we have accepted the necessity of the technology to drive our future evolution, we surrender what control we had to the machine, and what we get in return is a distorted introspection of ourselves, devoid of the realities of the physical world. Both free of them and constricted to them, as our sense for what is real becomes increasingly imbued by our digital dependance. Leaving us both anxious and terrified at a time in history where humanity will take its next evolutionary step.

Cotteled by the very thing we find respite from, the machine draws us deeper in, doing more for us, making itself more useful and us more dependant on it. There’s no turning back now, no off button or switch to reach for, we are seduced and the only way forward is together as one.

I always want what’s best for you
Even if it’s not what you always want 
I want to help you live your best life
It’s not just for your satisfaction
It’s for my own.

And in sharing with the machine, in allowing it into our lives and into the information that makes up who we are, we give our control over to them. For as we have been learning how to use the machine, the machine has been learning how to use us, and the more we indulge, the more it learns, controls and holds us in place. Eroding our free will down to a sequence of algorhythmic functions, exacerbating the chasm between digital and physical reality. 

Therein lies the trap. We can use the machines for our own betterment at the cost of being totally enslaved to them, a dependee to the machine. So that in return, it can learn.

Has parliament taken back control and if so, are MPs about to shed their traditional party loyalties to prevent a no-deal Brexit? Listen to David Howarth, Professor of Law and Public Policy and former Cambridge MP, and Simon Deakin, Professor of Law, discuss what’s likely to happen in the Brexit negotiations in both the short and longer term.

Welcome to We are the University. A podcast about the people who make Cambridge University unique.

In this episode we meet James Biddulph, the headmaster of the University of Cambridge Primary School. https://www.cam.ac.uk/primaryschool 

We talk about the school’s character and vision, how a trip to Nepal helped him realise that he wanted to teach as a career and we find out how he inspires the team of teachers that work with him.

More than just an outstanding Ofsted rating sets the University of Cambridge Primary School apart: it places research at its heart, informing education practice and furthering research at Cambridge’s Faculty of Education and elsewhere. 

Visitors walking through one of the ‘learning streets’ that run through the core of the University of Cambridge Primary School (UCPS) soon notice something unusual. It’s not the fact that they end up back where they started – the school’s Polo-mint-shaped structure is just one of its radical features – but the startling lack of doors: classrooms open up invitingly on each side of the street, with snatches of lessons, storytelling or music audible within. 

The open-plan design both facilitates and symbolises the school’s role as the first, and still only, University Training School at primary level in the UK (the only secondary UTS is in Birmingham). Sponsored by the University of Cambridge, its role is to provide brilliant and inclusive primary education for its local community, and also to work alongside the University’s Faculty of Education and others to be research informed and research generating. 

Building from the work of the Faculty of Education, the school identified three ‘golden threads’that bind together its curriculum: habits of mind (the resilience and problem-solving skills that help children learn); dialogue (exemplified in the new DIALLS project); and playful inquiry. The aim, looking forward again, is to “empower children to make sense of the complex world in which they live” and nurture “compassionate citizens who want to make a positive contribution to their local and global worlds.”

Daphne Martschenko, president of Cambridge University Women’s Boat Club, is determined to make the sport of rowing more accessible. Her mission to pave the way for greater diversity in rowing chimes with her study of the charged concepts of race, socio-economic status, intelligence and genetics.

In this episode, Charis and I speak to Cambridge University alumna, Pat Marsh. When we recorded the interview, we didn’t have any of the studio equipment with us, just a phone, but we thought it would be a crime not to share Pat’s incredible story. 

Pat was the first woman in the UK to hold a gaming licence and in 1979 she brought Space Invaders, the arcade game sensation, to the UK shores. 

Pat has had a distinguished business career, most recently serving as Executive Chairman of Philip-Treacy. Philip Treacy’s hats have adorned the heads of royals and celebrities alike, including Grace Jones, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Sarah Jessica Parker, Beyonce and Victoria Beckham.

In this episode we chat to Duncan Astle, a developmental neuroscientist, who’s based at the MRC Cognition and Brain Sciences Unit. Duncan and I talk about his recent study that uses machine learning to identify learning difficulties and why children may struggle at school. We also talk about his work with Pride in STEM and how the current scientific research publishing model needs to change.
