I'm your host, Britney Muller and today’s guest is Lewis Tunstall.

Hey friends! Welcome to Machine Learning Experts. Machine Learning Experts - Lewis Tunstall 🤗 Welcome to Machine Learning Experts - Lewis Tunstall Where can our listeners find you online? Perfect. Well done! Look forward to many more in the next edition. Please do, I look forward to that! So glad you got that one in there. A lot of these types of books tend to be quite dry and technical and this one reads almost like a novel mixed with great applicable technical information, which is beautiful. They don't tell you and just pull context from the book and create something? I love it. Had no idea that that was the way O'Reilly's covers came about. I think that's beautiful, Lewis! Is there anything else you would like to share or mention before we sign off? It is so good! I don't think so. What are some of your favorite Machine Learning papers? What is the meaning of life? Absolutely. I'm definitely going to give that a listen. And I'm just curious what that is and how someone interested in that might find it or get started.

When will AI-assisted robots be in homes everywhere? What have you been interested in lately? It could be a movie, a recipe, a podcast, literally anything. The next question is a follow-up on your folding laundry robot. Don't want to mess with a good thing! Rapid Fire Questions: Best piece of advice for someone looking to get into AI/Machine Learning? What are some of the industries you're most excited to see machine learning applied? Should people be afraid of AI taking over the world? That's a good point. If you could go back and do one thing differently at the beginning of your career in machine learning, what would it be? I love the idea of had you done something differently maybe you wouldn't be at Hugging Face. What are some common mistakes machine learning engineers or teams make? That's a good one! Don't over-engineer. How did that come about & where is it headed? What are some transformers applications that you're excited about? No way?! Where do you want to see more ML applications? How you see the world of model evaluation evolving? That is super interesting and powerful. You and other experts at Hugging Face have been working hard on the Hugging Face Course. I remember when they released those examples for GPT-2, and one of my favorites (that almost gave me this sense of, whew, we're not quite there yet) were some of the more inaccurate mentions like “underwater fires”. Have there been, any standout applications of transformers? That's incredible. Congratulations! Can you talk about the work you've done with the transformers library? That's very cool.

How does it feel to have a copy of your book in your hands? Exactly. Machine Learning Experts - Lewis Tunstall 🤗 Welcome to Machine Learning Experts - Lewis Tunstall Welcome, Lewis! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to chat with me today about your awesome work! Curious if you can do a brief self-introduction and highlight what brought you to Hugging Face? That is incredible.
