Jon Krohn talks to Cal Al-Dhubaib about the extraordinary success of AI and machine learning solutions provider Pandata, his ironclad hack for any company to define their core values, and how to attract and secure loyal clients. Cal thinks tech professionals make two critical mistakes in their careers: The first is that they too-often enjoy being the gatekeepers of their work rather than educating their clients and coworkers as to the details of their projects and why it benefits the company. The second is that tech professionals don’t show vulnerability, whether that means not knowing a topic or not fully understanding how a business works. This issue, Cal says, can spell the difference between a startup’s success and failure. Learn how tech startups can make an ironclad strategy for their future in this episode of The SuperDataScience Podcast. This episode is brought to you by ODSC , the Open Data Science Conference.

1:06:06

Jon Krohn talks tabular data with Frank Hutter, Professor of Artificial Intelligence at Universität Freiburg in Germany. Despite the great steps that deep learning has made in analysing images, audio, and natural language, tabular data has remained its insurmountable obstacle. In this episode, Frank Hutter details the path he has found around this obstacle even with limited data by using a ground-breaking transformer architecture. Named TabPFN, this approach is vastly outperforming other architectures, as testified by a write up of TabPFN’s capabilities in Nature. Frank talks about his work on version 2 of TabPFN, the architecture’s cross-industry applicability, and how TabPFN is able to return accurate results with synthetic data.
