Validate neural networks without data with Dr. Charles Martin (Ep. 70)

In this episode, I am with Dr. Charles Martin from Calculation Consulting a machine learning and data science consulting company based in San Francisco. We speak about the nuts and bolts of deep neural networks and some impressive findings about the way they work. 

The questions that Charles answers in the show are essentially two:

1. Why is regularisation in deep learning seemingly quite different than regularisation in other areas on ML?
   
   
2. How can we dominate DNN in a theoretically principled way?
