Teaching Machine Learning: Bridging Theory and Practice

Today we’re joined by Sebastian Raschka, an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison and lead AI educator at Grid.ai. In our conversation with Sebastian, we explore his work around AI education, including the “hands-on” philosophy that he takes when building these courses, his recent book Machine Learning with PyTorch and Scikit-Learn, his advise to beginners in the field when they’re trying to choose tools and frameworks, and more. 

We also discuss his work on Pytorch Lightning, a platform that allows users to organize their code and integrate it into other technologies, before switching gears and discuss his recent research efforts around ordinal regression, including a ton of great references that we’ll link on the show notes page below!
