Welcome to Data Today with Dan Klein, a podcast from Zühlke.

 We're living in a world of opportunities. But to fully realise them, we have to reshape the way we innovate.

 We need to stop siloing data, ring-fencing knowledge, and thinking in traditional value chains.

That's what this podcast is about. Every two weeks, we take a look at data outside the box. 

Join us to learn how inspiring individuals from diverse fields and industries are transforming the way they work with data to realise their greatest opportunities.

Zühlke is a global innovation service provider. We turn big ideas into working solutions that deliver positive and sustainable value.

        &lt;p&gt;Neural networks are the backbone of many AI and machine learning systems. But how can they be applied to real-world scenarios?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Today’s guest is Damian Borth, Professor of Artificial Intelligence &amp;amp; Machine Learning at the University of St. Gallen. He is also the director of the Computer Science Institute at St. Gallen.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;His work on neural networks has taken him to several subject areas including climate change, financial fraud detection, and text-to-speech. He is also the recipient of a Google Research Scholar Award.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We discuss what neural networks are, what they do, and how their application could help us save the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;00:00 - Intro&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;02:02 - Damian’s background&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;03:01 - What is a neural network?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;09:21 - Neural networks and climate change&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:44 - Neural networks and text-to-speech&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;14:56 - Bias in AI training data&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;12:44 - Academia and the real world&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;27:12 - Dan&#039;s final thoughts&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LINKS:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Damian Borth: &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianborth/?originalSubdomain=ch&quot;&gt;https://www.linkedin.com/in/damianborth/?originalSubdomain=ch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Dan Klein:&lt;a href=&quot;https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dplklein&quot;&gt; https://uk.linkedin.com/in/dplklein&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Zühlke:&lt;a href=&quot;https://www.zuehlke.com/en&quot;&gt; https://www.zuehlke.com/en&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Data Today, a podcast from Zühlke.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;We&#039;re living in a world of opportunities.
