In this episode of A4N, I have a special announcement! While the A4N podcast will be going on indefinite hiatus, it is because I am now hosting the SuperDataScience Podcast. If you enjoyed A4N then you're sure to enjoy the SuperDataScience podcast, which publishes twice every week on Tuesdays and Fridays!
You can check it out here: https://www.superdatascience.com/podcast
In addition, a raw video feed of the podcast is available on YouTube. -
In this episode of A4N, Dr. Rasmus Rothe joins us to discuss Merantix, the worldâs first AI Venture Studio, which he co-founded in 2016. We discuss how Merantix companies are shaping the future by applying machine learning to automating cancer detection, training self-driving cars, and more!
Dr. Rasmus Rothe is a German native, and co-founder of Merantix, the worldâs first AI-focused venture studio. Merantix has already launched three successful AI-driven companies with three more operating in stealth, and raised an additional EUR 25 MM in 2020 to continue to apply world-class AI research to solving practical issues. Rasmus published 15+ papers on deep learning while attending Oxford, Princeton and ETH Zurich, where he received his Ph.D. in computer vision and deep learning. Before founding Merantix, Rasmus worked for BCG, Google, and built a deep learning service with 150m+ users. He is also a founding board member of the German AI Association.

For our second episode of A4N â the Artificial Neural Network News Network podcast â we discuss how anyone can contribute to the cure for the coronavirus pandemic, mind-controlled prosthetic limbs, and what it takes to succeed as an AI start-up. (Reference Links for video are below)
Our special guest today is Ben Taylor. Ben is the Co-Founder and Chief AI Officer of zeff.ai, an AI product company, and former Chief Data Scientist at HireVue. He is a prolific thinker and innovator, and weâre thrilled to have him as a guest on A4N!

For our inaugural episode of A4N â the "Artificial Neural Network News Network", a lighthearted podcast covering A.I. advances â we discuss real-time face recognition by London police, cheating in the famed Kaggle data-science competition, the landmark AlphaFold model for predicting protein structure from DNA, and how to become (or at least hire!) an A.I. researcher.
Belowâs a detailed breakdown of the episodeâs four segments, with time stamps for all of the references that we mentioned.
Segment 1 â Global headline news: Intrusive real-time face recognition
In this segment, we discuss a controversial new approach by the Met police force in London, which is to use a (low-performing) facial-recognition system to flag âknown criminalsâ in real-time in train stations.
Segment host: Vince Petaccio II
Reference news article from The Guardian (1:10)
Citizen App (9:10)
Segment 2 â âSportsâ: Kaggle Cheating
In this segment, we introduce what the Kaggle data-science competition platform is and how folks (now formerly!) working at the well-known firm H2O.ai cheated to perform well. How unsportspersonlike!
Segment host: Andrew Vlahutin
Reference news article from Towards Data Science (14:38)
Segment 3 â Health: AlphaFold
In this segment, we introduce how DNA encodes proteins that do all of the work in our bodies. We then describe the new AlphaFold algorithm that crushes all of the existing approaches at predicting protein structure from DNA-sequence data. In the benchmark âCASPâ competition, AlphaFold correctly predicted the structure of 58.1% of the proteins while the second-best algorithm correctly predicted 7.0% of them.

Segment 4 â Classifieds: How to become (or hire!) an A.I. Researcher
In this segment, we list ways that you can find hidden-gem A.I. researchers to hire from within a high-demand field. We also list approaches for breaking into the field of A.I. if you come from a non-traditional background, e.g., you donât already have a PhD in machine learning or statistics.
