Abhineet Gupta

My interview with Abhineet Gupta of One Concern. Abhineet works on fascinating applications of ML such as:

• creating specific metrics for measuring how access to critical resources is impacted in disasters and to identify those communities that are most at risk before, during and after disasters.
• contributing to development of Seismic product to estimate near real time impacts in an earthquake
• creating evaluation metrics for machine learning models and set up the simulation pipeline to generate earthquakes for preparedness trainings and mitigation policy design

Narine Kokhlikyan

My interview with Narine Kokhlikyan. Many topics are covered: time series + NLP + anomaly detection as well as hot topics like diversity and algorithm reliability.
