#UnityMLAgents #SyntheticData #SpaceJunk Mars Buttfield-Addison, PhD Candidate at the University of Tasmania, joins Jon Krohn for a high-energy episode covering everything from Machine Learning simulations to Swift, space junk, and more! In this episode you will learn: • What simulations and synthetic data are, and why they can be invaluable for real-life applications [4:03] • How simulated bots can solve any problem [7:23] • Practical uses of simulated data [20:05] • Why the mobile operating system language Swift is interesting for A.I. [24:02] • Why it's critical to track the amount of junk in space [34:03] • Whether programming or statistical skills are more important in data science [45:21] • What it’s like creating video games in a "secret" games lab [55:01] • Why you might want to do a data science internship in industry before pursuing in academia [ 1:00:10] Additional materials: https://www.superdatascience.com/591
