Talking Machines - Podcast Rankings and reviews

When this podcast began, I was beginning to dive deeper and deeper into deep learning. Lo and behold, this podcast was explaining concepts in relatable ways and interviewing many of the researchers who created/discovered the bleeding edge machine learning methods that are shaping the future of artificial intelligence and the applications we consume.

Would recommend this podcast to anyone looking for a more technical bent on machine learning. Though it is a podcast and doesn’t go line by line through papers (isn’t reading good for that?), it goes a great deal into the intuitions and motivations behind many of the concepts that are driving progress.

I listened to the first segment of Perturb and Map episode numerous times to fully absorb each sentence because it gave a great intro not just to the titular model but several prerequisite related concepts. The writers don’t tacitly assume prior knowledge yet quickly go deep, introducing new terms with succinct definitions and pointers to learning more on the side

The best machine learning podcast out there, hands down. Unfortunately, the audio quality is a bit lackluster. Not enough to make me stop listening, but enough to drop it a star.

This podcast is seriously great. They talk about ML topics at a middle-of-the-road level, for someone who is interested in the subject, but doesn't constantly read the literature about it.

My favorite part is when they interview people who are just crazy-passionate about what they do. It's inspiring, interesting, and fun.

I like the content of this podcast, but the audio levels are so horribly inconsistent that even one person talking goes from so quiet they can't be heard to so loud it makes my ears hurt. I've tried different pairs of headphones, different speakers. Always the same problem.

So distracting I can't tolerate listening to this any longer.
