Rust: A Journey to High-Performance and Confidence in Code at Amethix Technologies (Ep. 225)

The journey of porting our projects to Rust was intense, but it was a decision we made to improve the quality of our software. The migration was not an easy task, as it required a considerable amount of time and resources. However, it was worth the effort as we have seen significant improvements in code reusability, code cleanliness, and performance. In this episode I will tell you why you should consider taking that journey too.

The Power of Graph Neural Networks: Understanding the Future of AI - Part 2/2 (Ep.224)

In this episode of our podcast, we dive deep into the fascinating world of Graph Neural Networks. First, we explore Hierarchical Networks, which allow for the efficient representation and analysis of complex graph structures by breaking them down into smaller, more manageable components. Next, we turn our attention to Generative Graph Models, which enable the creation of new graph structures that are similar to those in a given dataset. We discuss the inner workings of these models and their potential applications in fields such as drug discovery and social network analysis. Finally, we delve into the essential Pooling Mechanism, which allows for the efficient passing of information across different parts of the graph neural network. We examine the various types of pooling mechanisms and their advantages and disadvantages. Whether you're a seasoned graph neural network expert or just starting to explore the field, this episode has something for you. So join us for a deep dive into the power and potential of Graph Neural Networks.   References Machine Learning with Graphs - http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224w/ A Comprehensive Survey on Graph Neural Networks - https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.00596
