Episode 10: History and applications of Deep Learning
What is deep learning?If you have no patience, deep learning is the result of training many layers of non-linear processing units for feature extraction and data transformation e.g. from pixel, to edges, to shapes, to object classification, to scene description, captioning, etc.

Episode 8: Frequentists and Bayesians
There are statisticians and data scientists... Among statisticians, there are some who just count. Some others who… think differently. In this show we explore the old time dilemma between frequentists and bayesians.Given a statistical problem, who’s going to be right?
