In this episode of the Data Exchange I speak with Neil Thompson, Research Scientist at Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab (CSAIL) and the Initiative on the Digital Economy, both at MIT. I wanted Neil on the podcast to discuss a recent paper he co-wrote entitled “The Computational Limits of Deep Learning” (summary version here). This paper provides estimates of the amount of computation, economic costs, and environmental impact that come with increasingly large and more accurate deep learning models.
