They’ll also walk us through the contributions of BERT to the NLP space, and the how and why it’s been so revolutionary. As always, be sure to rate and subscribe! Be sure to check out the articles we mentioned this week: <a href="https://venturebeat.com/2017/08/29/salesforce-creates-ai-tool-for-talking-to-databases/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Salesforce creates AI tool for talking to databases</a> by Blair Hanley Frank (VentureBeat)<a href="https://towardsdatascience.com/ethical-codes-vs-ethical-code-fea118987a5" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> Ethical codes v. ethical code by Schaun Wheeler </a>(Towards Data Science) <a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-019-01328-x?utm_source=ActiveCampaign&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=BDN+%23153%3A+AI+products%2C+brain+waves%2C+design+thinking%2C+++a+new+AI+diversity+section%21&amp;utm_campaign=Banana+Data+%23153#highlighted" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Brain signals translated into speech using artificial intelligence</a> (Nature)

Predicting AI Trends for 2020

On episode 4 of Banana Data, we’re taking a look at how our data is changing. With models in the wild skewing our future data sets, the impending shift to Python 3.0, and navigating a public distrust of Machine Learning, Triveni and Will talk through how our current decisions in AI will heavily influence its future. They’ll also take a stab at explaining GANs - in English. Learn more about the articles referenced in this episode below: Here’s a prediction: In the future, predictions will only get worse by Alison Schrager (Quartz) Python’s Caduceus Syndrome: What happens when a programming language grows up by Normcore Tech (Substack) How a Feel-Good AI Story Went Wrong in Flint by Alexis C.

Reshama Shaikh

Now that we’ve covered how open source works, we’re looking to pull back the curtain and see who’s actually contributing. In part 2/2 of our series on open source, we sat down with Reshama Shaikh, a statistician and key organizer of scikit-Learn sprints, to learn about the ups &amp; downs of open source contributing, as well how a Sprint in Nairobi benefits Fortune 500 companies in the US. Reshama Shaikh is an independent data scientist/statistician and MBA with skills in Python, R and SAS.
