You can ask him your question in the comments on this post and the speaker will answer you live.

About the speaker


Boris graduated from Moscow State University with a degree in Machine Learning. He worked at Microsoft Research in the Chris Bishop group on the infer.Net framework, then in Yandex led the development of Alice’s brains.

What interesting is Boris talking about


  • all about machine learning and neural networks
  • unmanned vehicles: why are they needed and how to make them correctly
  • how Alice works and why she is so cocky
  • artificial intelligence: when will we create it and can it enslave us
  • how to be a really good engineer and data scientist
  • how to manage a team in complex highly scientific projects when it is not clear what to do
  • how (parachuting) sports help to fight fear, get out of your comfort zone and achieve more in other areas of life

And Borya will answer any question that is asked in the comments on this post on Instagram or in the comments under this post.

About format


A month ago, we started a new project: an Instagram account in which cool guys from IT go live and answer questions from viewers in their area of ​​competence.

Classical interviews where only one person asks questions cannot turn into a full-fledged guide, they are limited by the interests of only the interviewer himself.

We dream of creating a collection of interesting and comprehensive guides about all facets of IT life in a year

These are internships, career growth, team management, the study of new technologies, interviews, emigration and the rest.

We chose live broadcasts, because this is the closest technological alternative to tête-à-tête conversation - you can respond to the speaker’s response and clarify the important, as well as directly ask the most interesting for you personally.

Why not webinars


Webinars are the last century: an extraneous service, links to entry, mandatory registration, connection from a computer. We want to make knowledge free and as accessible as possible - this is in the hands of the usual Instagram, there comes a notification about the start of the broadcast. It's as simple as phoning facetime with a friend.

Will there be a record?


Yes, all the recordings of the airs go to IGTV, and a week later on youtube. You can already watch the recording or read the decoding of the broadcast with Ilona Papava on how to get an internship on Facebook and get an offer (Ilona went to the Valley internship twice and now Senior Software Engineer in the London Facebook office)

How to ask a question so that the speaker answers exactly


Live broadcasting takes only an hour.



The live broadcast will begin in this Instagram account on May 18 (Monday) at 20:00 Moscow time.

How not to miss the broadcast


You can subscribe and enable push only for a specific user.



Or just subscribe - we will make a story with a reminder and notification of the broadcast can be included directly from this story.

See you on the air!


Let's create the coolest and most comprehensive Career Development Guide in Machine Learning together.

If you have ideas of speakers or specific questions - write in the comments, we will find a speaker that can answer them.
