Automating Industrial Machines with Data Science and the Internet of Things (IoT)

Data Science

Despite poor lighting on our Chief Data Scientist Jon Krohn’s face in SuperDataScience episode #680 video version, he’s got a fascinating episode with the brilliant (and well-lit!) Allegra Alessi, who details how data science is automating industrial machines.

Allegra:
• Is Product Owner for IoT (Internet of Things) devices at BOBST, a Swiss industrial manufacturing giant.
• Previously, she worked as a Product Owner and Data Scientist for Rolls-Royce in the UK and as a Data Scientist for Alstom, the enormous train manufacturing company, in Paris.
• She holds a Master’s in Engineering from Politecnico di Milano in Italy.

In this episode, Allegra details:
• How modern industrial machinery depends on data science for real-time performance analytics, predicting issues before they happen, and fully automating their operations.
• The tech stack her team uses to build data-driven IoT platforms.
• The key methodologies she uses to be effective at product management.
• The kinds of data scientists that might be ideally suited to moving into a product role.

The Chinchilla Scaling Laws

The Chinchilla Scaling Laws dictate the amount of training data needed to optimally train a Large Language Model (LLM) of a given size. For Five-Minute Friday, our Chief Data Scientist, Jon Krohn, covers this ratio and the LLMs that have arisen from it.

StableLM: Open-Source “ChatGPT”-Like LLMs You Can Fit on One GPU

The folks who open-sourced Stable Diffusion have now released “StableLM”, their first Language Models. Pre-trained on an unprecedented amount of data for single-GPU LLMs (1.5 trillion tokens!), these are small but mighty.
