Nicolas Koumchatzky - Machine Learning in Production for Self Driving Cars

👨🏻‍💻Nicolas Koumchatzky is the Director of AI infrastructure at NVIDIA, where he's responsible for MagLev, the production-grade machine learning platform by NVIDIA. His team supports diverse ML use cases: autonomous vehicles, medical imaging, super resolution, predictive analytics, cyber security, robotics. He started as a Quant in Paris, then joined Madbits, a startup specialized on using deep learning for content understanding. When Madbits was acquired by Twitter in 2014, he joined as a deep learning expert and led a few projects in Cortex, include a real-time live video classification product for Periscope. In 2016, he focused on building an scalable AI platform for the company. Early 2017, he became the lead for the Cortex team. He joined NVIDIA in 2018.

🤖Gradient Dissent by Weights and Biases
We started Weights and Biases to build tools for Machine Learning practitioners because we care a lot about the impact that Machine Learning can have in the world and we love working in the trenches with the people building these models. One of the most fun things about these building tools has been the conversations with these ML practitioners and learning about the interesting things they’re working on. This process has been so fun that we wanted to open it up to the world in the form of our new podcast. We hope you have as much fun listening to it as we had making it.
