Episode description

Accessibility, by definition, is about making tasks more achievable. In episode 7 of the podcast, Triveni and Will explore how AI is shaping our world to become more accessible, and how we as data scientists can help it get there, diving into Salesforce’s new “unstructured” querying tool, the various physical manifestations of AI, and even questioning some of their previous takes on ethics. They’ll also walk us through the contributions of BERT to the NLP space, and the how and why it’s been so revolutionary.
