133: Winning the ML Prise
Thinking Elixir Podcast
Introduction
The Thinking Elixir podcast is produced by Kate Ward and David Bernheisel. We cover the news of the community and learn from each other. This week, we look at a new video series about solving networking problems in Elixir. Also, Mark Erickson shows how to play with Dali using LiveBook's smart cells.
We talk with Philip Brown who started Prise in Jan 2022 using Elixir, Axon and Nx to apply machine learning to project management. He shares what he's accomplished as a one-person dev team and how Elixir enabled him to develop more rapidly. He shares how, with no ML academic training, he learned as he went and developed and trained his own models that classify and prioritize people's tasks spread across multiple systems! A fun and empowering discussion!
