Published: Dec. 14, 2017, 6:02 p.m.

b'This week on the podcast we\\u2019re featuring a series of conversations from the AWS re:Invent conference in Las Vegas. I had a great time at this event getting caught up on the latest and greatest machine learning and AI products and services announced by AWS and its partners. In this episode we\\u2019re joined by Chris Adzima, Senior Information Analyst for the Washington County Sheriff\\u2019s Department. While Chris is not a traditional data scientist, he comes to us with a very interesting use case using AWS\\u2019s Rekognition. Chris is using Rekognition to identify suspects in the Portland area by running their mugshots through the software. In our conversation, he details how he is using Rekognition, while giving us few use cases along the way. We discuss how bias affects the work he is doing, and how they try to remove it from their process, not only from a software developer standpoint, but from a law enforcement standpoint and what his next steps are with the Rekognition software. This was a pretty interesting discussion, i\\u2019m sure you\\u2019ll enjoy it!'
