We begin 2020 by looking back at some of the highlights from 2019 including conversations with Turing award winners, Yoshua, Bengio and Yann Lecun, as well as with the father of reinforcement learning, Rich Sutton. Our guests consider applying machine learning to the climate crisis; competition between the U S and China for dominance in AI; and the future of machine learning through various kinds of unsupervised learning.
