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 h... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Data Science #31 - Correlation and causation (1921), Wright Sewall
Q: Are you trying to infer something?
Causal inference is utilized when data is historical, and experimental manipulation isn't possible.
Data Science #20 - the Rao-Cramer bound (1945)
Q: Can you say maybe just one or two sentences about how the bound is not called Rao bound, but Kramer-Rao bound?
They both discovered it or arrived at a similar time, I guess, in an uncorrelated manner.
Data Science #13 - Kolmogorov complexity paper review (1965) - Part 2
Q: Do you think we're using probabilistic or algorithmic methods in modern-day LLM?
It’s a combination of both, with an emphasis on minimal description length related to Kolmogorov complexity.
Data Science #13 - Kolmogorov complexity paper review (1965) - Part 2
Q: Which course did you take when you learned about Kolmogorov complexity?
I think it was part of the information theory course I took in the Technion and the electrical engineering faculty.
