SDS 591: Simulations and Synthetic Data for Machine Learning

<p>Mars Buttfield-Addison, PhD Candidate at the University of Tasmania, joins Jon Krohn for a high-energy episode covering everything from Machine Learning simulations to Swift, space junk, and more!</p><p>In this episode you will learn:<br/>• What simulations and synthetic data are, and why they can be invaluable for real-life applications [5:47]<br/>• How simulated bots can solve any problem [9:07]<br/>• Practical uses of simulated data [21:49]<br/>• Why the mobile operating system language Swift is interesting for A.I. [25:46]<br/>• Why it&apos;s critical to track the amount of junk in space [35:47]<br/>• Whether programming or statistical skills are more important in data science [47:05]<br/>• What it’s like creating video games in a &quot;secret&quot; games lab [56:45]<br/>• Why you might want to do a data science internship in industry before pursuing in academia [ 1:01:54]</p><p>Additional materials: <a href='https://gate.sc/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.superdatascience.com%2F591&amp;token=7a52df-1-1657617354667'>www.superdatascience.com/591</a></p>
