In this episode we welcome Dr. Mikio L. Braun is a seasoned Machine Learning Expert and the creator of fedistats.cc. With over a decade of experience in both academia and industry, Mikio has held significant roles at Zalando and GetYourGuide, focusing on AI and ML across various domains. He founded Fedistats to extract trends from the fediverse and has contributed as a consultant, aiding teams in implementing ML effectively. Mikio’s background includes pioneering research in machine learning at TU Berlin and founding Streamdrill UG. He holds a Ph.D. and a Diploma in Computer Science from the University of Bonn, where his research explored kernel methods and spectral properties. Mikio is a frequent speaker at conferences on scalable ML and data science applications.
Together with Mikio we talk about machine learning before it was a hype, Math and persevering through hard phases in your work (read: PhD thesis). We discuss what you learn when you move from academia to industry and the probability that humanity will be terminated by AI.
