#50: Extreme Classification: All You Need Is Some Hash (Functions)

In part 2 of this saga on extreme classification, we get into the weeds on how MACH is able to magically handle such massive classification problems. The title says it all -- hash functions are the magical ingredient. We provide a step-by-step view of how one might come up with the MACH algorithm from first principles. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/databytes/support

#49: Extreme Classification: Going at MACH Speed (Part 1)

In this episode, Dr. Derek Feng drops by to chat about a recent paper on a divide-and-conquer approach (Merged-Averaged Classifiers via Hashing) to massive classification problems. In part 1 (of 2 episodes), we describe the general problem solved by and strategy taken by MACH, wherein the original large classification problem is broken down into smaller-sized classification problems. Next week in the second episode, we talk about more technical details of how the division of labor works, and why it works. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/databytes/support

#47: Domoic Acid Testing -- A Crabshoot?

Domoic acid has plagued shellfish and other wildlife along the Pacific coastline in recent years. Testing for domoic acid concentration in crabs on a regular basis has become important for determining when crabs and their viscera can be safely consumed. Unlike many other common hypothesis tests, the setup used for domoic acid testing is based on the sample maximum rather than the sample mean. In this episode, we critique the testing methodology. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/databytes/support
