• A bit about Interpretability

  Interpretability in machine learning is one of the topics I paid attention to throughout my PhD. Especially in biomedical research, building models that predict outcomes accurately is thrilling, but it’s not the entire story. The magic happens when we truly understand what these models tell us and translate those insights into something meaningful. In this post, let’s dive into why interpretability matters and explore some practical ways to make our models both understandable and impactful.

• Why Your Machine Learning Model Doesn't Work (And How to Fix It)

  So, you’ve built a machine learning model, but instead of making magic happen, it’s giving you garbage predictions. Before you rage-quit and blame the universe, let’s go through some common reasons why your model might be struggling—and, more importantly, how to fix them. Spoiler: it’s probably not your model’s fault. More often than not, the real issue is with your data, your approach, or both.

• Ways to Imporove Your (Scientific) Talks

  Let’s face it, giving a good scientific talk is a skill that can set you apart. Whether you’re presenting at a conference, teaching a class, or keeping your team awake during a meeting, how you communicate your research matters. It’s not just about dumping data; it’s about inspiring, educating, and connecting with your audience. Based on my own (sometimes humbling and occasionally amusing) experiences during my PhD, here’s a practical guide to help you deliver scientific talks that people will actually remember.

• Getting the Most Out of Conferences (As an Introvert)

  Ah, conferences—the ultimate mix of excitement, terror, and free coffee. For introverts, they can feel like stepping into a jungle of name tags and small talk. But don’t worry, with a little prep and a dash of humor, you can definitely ace this (speaking from experience).
