As you know I am on a journey to embed digital and computing sciences into my own research. As such I was very happy when I was approached to have Lars as a guest! He is a co-founder of Corti and from everything I could read, listen and watch about him, research is at the core of what he aims to create. We take a deep dive into the differences in research in computing and health sciences, how synthetic data may make health care more inclusive, and how digital health solutions should be evaluated.
Top 3 Takeaways
1) Anything I cannot create, I do not understand.
2) The only way to get better is to be deep in research
3) Evaluation is tricky – intersectoral collaboration will increase your evaluative ability.
Bio: Lars Maaløe is co-founder and CTO of Corti. He holds a MS and PhD in Machine Learning from the Technical University of Denmark. He was awarded PhD of the year by the department for Applied Mathematics and Computer Science and has published at top machine learning venues: ICML, NeurIPS etc. His primary research domain is in semi-supervised and unsupervised machine learning.
