Creating Tools that Spark Joy with Ines Montani

Our guest this week is Ines Montani, co-founder and CEO of Explosion, a company based out of Berlin that produce tools that you probably know and love like Spacy, a Python Natural Language Processing library and Prodigy, a data annotation tool.

I've always found Ines to be personally inspiring in the work that she and her team produce as well as how they present themselves to the world, so it was a real pleasure to get to dive into the weeds as to exactly how that happens. We also discuss how NLP works in production, what reproducibility means for ML projects and much more.

Special Guest: Ines Montani.
