The TWIML AI Podcast (formerly This Week in Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence)
Evolutionary Algorithms in Machine Learning with Risto Miikkulainen - TWiML Talk #47
11 Sep 2017
My guest this week is Risto Miikkulainen, professor of computer science at UT-Austin and vice president of Research at Sentient Technologies. Risto came locked and loaded to discuss a topic that we've received a ton of requests for -- evolutionary algorithms. During our talk we discuss some of the things Sentient is working on in the financial services and retail fields, and we dig into the technology behind it, evolutionary algorithms, which is also the focus of Risto’s research at UT. I really enjoyed this interview and learned a ton, and I’m sure you will too! Notes for this show can be found at twimlai.com/talk/47.
