(E) The pandemic has broken a few paradoxes in our lives which have lost sometimes basic humanity. So when Paris goes into lockdown during the pandemic in June 2019, the […]
(T) As he did since 2017, Jeff Dean, the tech lead of the Google Research and Health Teams, and probably one of the most famous Silicon Valley engineers, shared some of […]
(B) While one of my interests is causal inference in data science, and I have been studying causal inference for business applications in particular the life cycle of products, I […]
(E) When we arrived yesterday close to the overwintering site of the monarch in Pacific Grove this Sunday, we could already see several monarchs above the trees canopy. Arriving at […]
(E) With the disastrous effect of climate change, there are so many endangered species. See the picture below for the predictions of the United Nations on how climate change will […]
(E) Happy new year! Wishing to everyone the best, and hope that in 2022, our lives will finally return to a more normal. I know I wished that already in […]
(E) Elevating human conditions to the highest. Human rights and justice for South Africa and everyone on earth. Desmond Tutu. Wikipedia: Desmond Tutu New York Times: “Desmond Tutu, Whose Voice […]
(T) Graphs have recently been “the big thing” for deep learning. There are perfect examples of machine learning applications in the Non-Euclidian space. Graphs have been used to predict friends […]
(T) The fundamental representation of any feature for any machine learning model is the vector and its multidimensional generalization which is the tensor. This has led to developing machine learning […]
(E) The LKS Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong found in a new research study why Omicron is less dangerous than Delta but more viral than Delta. […]
(E) What do we know about the SARS-Cov-2 variant named Omicron? From what I understood, not much, except that its spike protein has many more mutations than the Delta variant […]
(E) 1932, 1945, and 2020 are the only years, since the beginning of the industrial revolution around 200 years ago, when worldwide emissions of carbon dioxide dropped. And, why did […]
(T) There have been many Silicon Valley companies Joby Aviation, Kitty Hawk, Wisk, and Archer which have been working on flying cars for a few years now. Today, Xpeng, Tesla’s […]
(E) The beautiful city of Manaus, full of history about the Amazonas, reached natural herd immunity in the Fall of 2020 when around 75% to 80% of its population had […]
(T) I wish I could have an application that would help me to explore the causal relationships of various inputs on an outcome, so that I could play between different […]
(T) The Pegasus spyware is quite impressive. Developed by the NSO Group in Israel and sold to governments across the world, it has been capable of collecting passwords, reading text […]
(E) Eight French Polynesian patients in intensive care from Covid-19 were transported on Friday, September 17th on a plane from Tahiti to Paris in a 22 hours flight. The cost […]
(T) Developing deep learning models is hard. Debugging deep learning models is even harder. And, few companies have data pipelines that provide the training and inference of large scale deep […]
(E) Named after German mathematician Lothar Collatz who introduced it in 1937, the Collatz conjecture is one of those fun math problems that are simple to explain but very difficult […]
(T) Tesla had this week a recruiting event for data scientists and software engineers: “Tesla AI Day”. In my opinion, Andrej Karpathy and his team during that event have shown […]
(E) According to the latest and 6th assessment report from the IPCC (The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) “emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are responsible for approximately 1.1°C […]
(E) A few recent articles that summarize the present state of knowledge about the Delta variant from the revue Nature: Reduced sensitivity of SARS-CoV-2 variant Delta to antibody neutralization How […]
(T) An interesting research from Google Health on predicting organ dysfunctions in intensive care units (ICUs). The system uses multi-task models, which take into account a variety of competing risks along […]
(E) Music@Menlo chamber music festival will return this year at the Menlo School campus from July 16th to August 1st, but many concert performances will be also streamed. The theme […]
