We discuss seminal mathematical papers (sometimes really old 😎 ) that have shaped and established the fields of machine learning and data science as we know them today. The goal of the podcast is to introduce you to the evolution of these fields from a mathematical and slightly philosophical perspective. We will discuss the contribution of these papers, not just from pure a math aspect but also how they influenced the discourse in the field, which areas were opened up as a result, and so on.Our podcast episodes are also available on our youtube: https://youtu.be/wThcXx_vXjQ?si=vnMfs
Mike E hosts Data Science Decoded, a science show with 33 episodes published.
On the 34th episode, we review the 1986 paper, "Learning representations by back-propagating errors" , which was pivotal because it provided a clear, generalized framework for training neural networks with internal 'hidd
