Generally AI - Season 2 - Episode 3: Surviving the AI Winter
Roland Meertens and Anthony Alford discuss the historical cycles of AI "summers" and "winters": periods of optimism and decline in AI research. The conversation follows the story of neural networks, to the resurgence of AI with backpropagation and deep learning in the 2010s. They also explore the potential for a future "AI Winter", as technological advances face both hype and skepticism.

Generally AI - Season 2 - Episode 2: Fantastic Algorithms and Where to Find Them
Roland Meertens and Anthony Alford discuss their favorite algorithms, starting with the etymology of the word "algorithm". Meertens introduces the concept of probabilistic counting, focusing on the HyperLogLog algorithm, which can be used to estimate the count of unique items. He shares his own personal algorithm for estimating how many people he talks to at conferences.
