The Dr. Data Show with Eric Siegel

Technology Podcasts

Eric Siegel covers why machine learning is the most important, most potent, most screwed up, most misunderstood, and most dangerous technology. And did I mention most important? Yup, it’s the most important – yet most projects fail to deliver value. This podcast will help you: - Make sure machine learning is effective and valuable - Catch common machine learning oversights - Understand ethical pitfalls – concretely - Sniff out all the ”artificial intelligence” malarky This podcast is for both data scientists and business leaders of all kinds – such as executives, directors, line of business managers, and consultants – who are involved in or affected by the deployment of machine learning. To get machine learning to work, both the tech and business sides must make an effort to reach across wide chasm. About the host: Eric Siegel, Ph.D., is a leading consultant and former Columbia University professor who bridges the business and tech sides of machine learning. He is the founder of the Predictive Analytics World and Deep Learning World conference series, which have served more than 17,000 attendees since 2009. As the instructor of the acclaimed online course “Machine Learning Leadership and Practice – End-to-End Mastery”, a winner of teaching awards as a professor, and a popular speaker, Eric has given more than 110 keynote addresses. The executive editor of The Machine Learning Times, he wrote the bestselling Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die, which has been adopted for courses at hundreds of universities. Eric has appeared on numerous media channels, including Bloomberg, National Geographic, and NPR, and has published in Newsweek, HBR, SciAm blog, WaPo, WSJ, and more – including op-eds on analytics and social justice.

Why Deep Learning Could Expedite the Next AI Winter

2/28/2022
Deep learning, the most important advancement in machine learning, could inadvertently expedite the next AI winter. The problem is that, although it increases value and capabilities, it may also be having the effect of increasing hype even more. This episode covers four reasons deep learning increases the hype-to-value ratio of machine learning.

P-Hacking: How to Know Your Predictive Discovery Is Conclusive

2/10/2022
“An orange used car is least likely to be a lemon.” At least that’s what was claimed by The Seattle Times, The Huffington Post, The New York Times, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal. However, this discovery has since been debunked as inconclusive. As data gets bigger, so does a common pitfall in the application of standard stats: Testing many predictors means taking many small risks of being fooled by randomness, adding up to one big risk. The tragic but common mistake is called p-hacking. In...

Real-Time Machine Learning: Why It’s Vital and How to Do It

1/31/2022
Organizations often miss the greatest opportunities that machine learning has to offer because tapping them requires real-time predictive scoring. In order to optimize the very largest-scale processes – which is a vital endeavor for your business – predictive scoring must take place right at the moment of each and every interaction. The good news is that you probably already have the hardware to handle this endeavor: the same system currently running your high-volume transactions –...

The Accuracy Fallacy and the Media’s Bogus Coverage of AI

1/24/2022
Misleading headlines abound, claiming that machine learning can "accurately" predict criminality, psychosis, sexual orientation, and bestselling books. But, when practitioners claim their model achieves "high accuracy," it's often bogus. Can AI "tell" if you're going to have a heart attack? Contrary to bold, public claims, no it cannot. This episode unpacks the undeniable yet common "accuracy fallacy," which misleads the public into believing that machine learning can distinguish between...

Models Are Rarely Deployed – an Industrywide Failure in Machine Learning Leadership

1/14/2022
Our latest industry poll reconfirms today's dire industry buzz: Very few machine learning models actually get deployed. In this episode, I summarize the poll results and argue that this pervasive failure of machine learning projects comes from a lack of prudent leadership. I also argue that MLops is not the fundamental missing ingredient – instead, an effective machine learning leadership practice must be the dog that wags the model-integration...
