Language Modeling and Protein Generation at Salesforce with Richard Socher - #372

Today we’re joined Richard Socher, Chief Scientist and Executive VP at Salesforce. Richard and his team have published quite a few great projects lately, including CTRL: A Conditional Transformer Language Model for Controllable Generation, and ProGen, an AI Protein Generator, both of which we cover in-depth in this conversation. We also explore the balancing act between investments, product requirement research and otherwise at a large product-focused company like Salesforce.
