Each episode of The Data Science Podcast with Fexingo is a grounded, specific conversation about a single analytics problem or machine-learning method — from regularization in regression to the bias-variance trade-off in random forests. Lucas leads with a journalistic eye for how models are built and tested in the real world, citing actual case studies like how Netflix used matrix factorization for recommendations or how healthcare researchers apply survival analysis to clinical trials. Luna keeps the discussion honest, asking about data quality, feature engineering pitfalls, and whether a model’s accuracy actually translates to business value. They never resort to buzzwords: instead, they walk through the workflow from data collection to deployment, discussing trade-offs like interpretability versus performance. The show serves data scientists, analysts, and engineers who want to stay sharp on methods without the hype. Listeners walk away with a clearer understanding of why one algorithm beats another on a gi…","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T08:17:23.323447+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831"},"episode":{"title":"How Data Science Is Changing the Way We Diagnose Disease","slug":"how-data-science-is-changing-the-way-we-diagnose-disease","published_at":"2026-06-10T20:22:15+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831/how-data-science-is-changing-the-way-we-diagnose-disease","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-data-science-podcast-with-fexingo-analytics-machine-learning-and-data-driven-conversations-7871831","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-data-science-podcast/episode-0043.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-data-science-podcast/episode-0043.mp3","summary":"Episode 43 of The Data Science Podcast with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna explore how machine learning is transforming medical diagnosis — specifically, the case of a deep learning model developed at Stanford that detects skin cancer with accuracy comparable to board-certified dermatologists. Published in Nature in 2017, the model was trained on nearly 130,000 images representing over 2,000 diseases. Lucas breaks down how the team used a GoogleNet Inception v3 architecture, fine-tuned on a dataset that included both clinical and dermoscopic images. They discuss the challenges of dataset bias (the training data was predominantly light-skinned), the regulatory hurdles for deploying such models in clinics, and the current state of FDA-approved AI diagnostic tools as of mid-2026. Luna asks about the reproducibility crisis and how to trust a model that can't explain its reasoning. A concrete look at one of the most promising — and fraught — applications of data science today. #MachineLearning #MedicalDiagnosis #DeepLearning #Stanford #AIinMedicine #SkinCancerDetection #GoogleNet #Nature #HealthcareAI #FDA #AlgorithmicBias #Explainability #DataScience #Technology #FexingoTechnologyShow #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"Episode 43 of The Data Science Podcast with Fexingo.
