Machine Learning For Fluid Mechanics (Podcast)
A new podcast with Steve Brunton went live this week!
Steve’s research focuses on combining techniques in dimensionality reduction, sparse sensing, and machine learning for the data-driven discovery and control of complex dynamical systems. He is also interested in how low-rank coherent patterns that underlie high-dimensional data facilitate sparse measurements and optimal sensor and actuator placement for control.

Friday Episode
Alex Tamkin is a third-year PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford, advised by Noah Goodman and part of the Stanford NLP Group. His research area is machine learning, especially applied to natural language processing. Recently, he has been thinking about curiosity, abstraction, and transfer in unsupervised learning.
Topic: NLP, AI Ethics & PhD Life 🧠
Book of the Week
Transfer Learning for Natural Language Processing
Transfer Learning for Natural Language Processing is a practical primer to transfer learning techniques capable of delivering huge improvements to your NLP models. Written by DARPA researcher Paul Azunre, this practical book gets you up to speed with the relevant ML concepts before diving into the cutting-edge advances that are defining the future of NLP. You’ll learn how to adapt existing state-of-the art models into real-world applications, including building a spam email classifier, a movie review sentiment analyzer, an automated fact checker, a question-answering system and a translation system for low-resource languages.
