Episode Summary: This episode’s guest is Uri Sarid, PhD, CTO for MuleSoft, Inc. Sarid speaks about where he believes the future of machine learning (ML) applications in industry might go – he thinks applications might stay small and niche-based, and will develop based on how well each serves its individual purposes. He also gives his perspective on how companies may adapt to deal with these disparate ML technologies, and expands on his belief that finding ways to connect technologies will be an important path in the development of machine learning applications and platforms across industries.

Expertise: Computer software applications and platforms for consumers and enterprises

Brief Recognition: Prior to becoming CTO at MuleSoft, Inc., Uri Sarid was most recently Vice President of the NOOK Cloud at Barnes & Noble, where he architected, led, and released the flagship digital content and user platform for NOOK. Previously, he was VP of Engineering at eMeter (acquired by Siemens), the leading provider of enterprise software for the SmartGrid. Sarid has also held CTO and VP of Engineering positions at companies including Loyalize, Aptana, Accomplice, Noosh, and digiGroups. Sarid began his career with research and teaching positions at Stanford University, Lawrence Berkeley Lab, and the University of Notre Dame. He holds a PhD in Theoretical Physics and Astrophysics from Harvard University and a BS with Highest Distinction from the University of Arizona, and is also an author on 7 patents.

Current Affiliations: CTO of MuleSoft Inc.

Interview Highlights:

(1:35) What do you think might get this field (ML) itself to congeal?

(5:20) What you’re mentioning here, the development of what would be the backbone that would allow for so many types of programs to communicate…it feels to me like we’re pretty far from that today, but give me your thoughts…

(7:20) It seems to me as though it’s a different way of creating a product…it sounds as if you’re of the belief that more people will have this as a thought in the front of their mind – thinking how can we make (technologies) seamless and stream into other business processes right away…

(9:45) Going into how businesses are thinking about and incorporating big data and machine learning technology today…where do you see those trends picking up in the last number of years?

(11:08) In terms of applications that you’ve seen pick up…where else have you seen that sort of pick up…where do you see (companies) using those ‘weapons’ of machine learning and artificial intelligence and really drawing some value from them?

(13:48) How do companies go about building an application network in the first place?

Sumo Logic CTO – How Machine Learning Shines Light on Business Blind Spots

Episode Summary: CTO and Co-founder of Sumo Logic Christian Beedgen gives his take on how to glean return on investment from applying machine learning to companies. There are no easy answers, but Beedgen boils down simple concepts for thinking about humans thinking through causation, machines working out correlations, and how the combination of the two can glean us better ideas and get to answers faster than humans can do alone.

Crowdsourcing a Machine Learning Hedge Fund

Episode Summary: Crowdsourcing is a relatively common term in technical vernacular today. Even if you're not a self-identified "techie", you may very may well have leveraged crowdsourcing in journalism, the sciences, public policy, or elsewhere. One area in which this concept hasn’t really taken off is in finance and hedge funds. In this episode, we speak with Numerai Founder Richard Craib, whose company is crowdsourcing a machine learning hedge fund. Their model is based on pooling data science talent from all over the world and using "anonymous" models to train financial data. These models compete against one another, and the winning models' creators are rewarded in bitcoin - a process based entirely on encryption and anonymity. Craib speaks about his overarching vision for the company, and also delves into his thoughts on the past, present, and future of AI applications in finance.

Network Intrusion Detection Using Machine Learning

Episode Summary: When Google’s DeepMind won against one of the best modern Go champions, is used multiple AI approaches and exposed gaps in some individual strategies. This even has shed more light on AI, but also on the utility in combining approaches to AI for individual problems. Data security is one of these problem areas where multiple AI approaches is being used to make our information safer. Dr. Sal Stolfo has been a professor at Columbia in Computer Science since 1972 and is now also the CEO of Allure Security, with a focus on engineering network intrusion detection solutions using AI applications. In this episode, Stolfo talks about the various styles of AI and statical methods that have been and are being used to detect malicious activity, as well as how he believes the future of security is going to have to adapt as increasing amounts of data become available.

How Executives Can Learn Machine Learning

Episode Summary: What are executives missing the boat on and what do they need to think about when it comes to AI and machine learning? This week, we speak with John Straw, who has had a number of businesses in the UK and US and is currently a senior advisor to McKinsey & Co.
John works with a lot of executive teams in finding new applications for AI and machine learning and pinpointing ROI for those technologies in industry. This week, Straw shares his insights on how to solve business problems with machine learning. Straw also touches on aspects he believes are most commonly overlooked when executives learn machine learning, specifically in finding applications that can keep them up to speed with their competitors in the field.

Machine Learning for IoT Security – with Dr Bob Baxley of Bastille

This week on AI in Industry, we explore IoT security with Bob Baxley (Chief Engineer at Bastille). This includes information on how different IoT security is compared to infosec, the unique challenges IoT security presents (for detecting and scanning wireless network traffic that runs on various protocols and for classifying types of cyberthreats), what the future of IoT security might look like, and how deep learning and machine learning tools can be used to better classify and detect threats and attacks in the cyberspace.
