This is a machine-learning-focused Podcast, where we interview people in the field of Artificial Intelligence and discuss interesting technical topics of Machine Learning. In the episodes, we focus on business-related use-cases (especially with Deep Learning ) and we also try to bring some technical white papers to the ground, not forgetting on the way that there are always some people behind the technology, so we try to understand their motivation and drive.

episode 5: A New Deep Learning Optimizer called Ranger with Less Wright - 005
In this episode, we interview Less Wright, who has set 13 records on the fast.ai leaderboard, and we talk about one of his tricks is using cutting-edge optimizers, he also developed one, which is called Ranger. He talks also about different strategies of using Deep Learning optimizers, it is worth to take those into consideration. We also tested Ranger and in our case, it also outperformed Adam/RAdam variants. Co-host is Levente Szabados.
