This interview was recorded for the GOTO Book Club. #GOTOcon #GOTObookclub http://gotopia.tech/bookclub Read the full transcription of the interview here: https://gotopia.tech/episodes/257/genetic-algorithms-in-elixir Sean Moriarity - Author of "Genetic Algorithms in Elixir" & "Machine Learning in Elixir" @sean_moriarity Bruce Tate - President at Groxio & Author of many Books RESOURCES Sean https://seanmoriarity.com https://twitter.com/sean_moriarity https://github.com/seanmor5 Bruce https://grox.io http://twitter.com/redrapids https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-tate DESCRIPTION From finance to artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms are a powerful tool with a wide array of applications. But you don’t need an exotic new language or framework to get started; you can learn about genetic algorithms in a language you’re already familiar with. Join us for an in-depth look at the algorithms, techniques, and methods that go into writing a genetic algorithm. From introductory problems to real-world applications, you’ll learn the underlying principles of problem solving using genetic algorithms. * Book description: © The Pragmatic Bookshelf: https://pragprog.com/titles/smgaelixir The interview is based on the book "Genetic Algorithms in Elixir": https://amzn.to/3PdlmZu TIMECODES 00:00 Intro 00:44 Is Elixir a good language for ML? 04:07 Numerical Elixir (Nx) 10:32 The potential of Elixir & ML together 22:56 Use cases for the Bumblebee library 25:31 Why is Elixir a good fit for ML? 30:53 Behind-the-scenes stories 37:23 Pitching Elixir for ML 38:48 What's next? 40:19 Outro RECOMMENDED BOOKS Sean Moriarity • Genetic Algorithms in Elixir • https://amzn.to/3PdlmZu Sean Moriarity • Machine Learning in Elixir • https://pragprog.com/titles/smelixir Bruce Tate • Programmer Passport: Elixir • https://amzn.to/48cTxJg Bruce Tate • Programmer Passport: Prolog • https://amzn.to/3PD6dCc Bruce Tate, Ian Dees, Frederic Daoud & Jack Moffitt • Seven More Languages in Seven Weeks • https://amzn.to/48bzuuV Bruce Tate • Seven Languages in Seven Weeks • https://amzn.to/3Lkto1v Svilen Gospodinov • Concurrent Data Processing in Elixir • https://amzn.to/3t0MQtM Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio & Aaron Courville • Deep Learning • https://amzn.to/48mo9rN Francois Chollet • Deep Learning with Python • https://amzn.to/3LwDpsC https://twitter.com/GOTOcon https://www.linkedin.com/company/goto- https://www.facebook.com/GOTOConferences #ElixirLang #Elixir #MachineLearning #GeneticAlgorithm #ComputerScience #SeanMoriarity #BruceTate #PragmaticProgrammers #SoftwareEngineering #Programming #Nx #NumericalElixir #Axon #BumblebeeLibrary #Huggingface #DeepLearning #Concurrency #Erlang #MLOps #PhoenixFramework Looking for a unique learning experience?
