Maschinelles Lernen Lernen

Welcome! I am Thomas Viehmann, a Machine Learning and PyTorch specialist consultant and trainer.

MathInf GmbH

In 2018 I founded a MathInf GmbH for my professional activities. I mostly do PyTorch and Machine Learning Research and Development consulting and training these days, but if you ask nicely, I might also help with actuarial topics.

Book

The book I co-authored with Eli Stevens and Luca Antiga, Deep Learning with PyTorch, Manning. For the first half year after publication, it was available as a free download on the PyTorch website, so it may well be the most-read PyTorch book.

Current Open Source Activity

You can contract MathInf GmbH for specific open source work or sponsor me personally through GitHub sponsors.

Public talks and articles

I keep a blog on machine learning and PyTorch topics at https://lernapparat.de/ And there is the book (see above).

Actuarial

I worked as a qualified actuary with the German Actuarial Society (DAV) and consult in economic risk management modelling on request. Before launching my own company, I was an Actuarial consultant / Senior Manager with B&W Deloitte GmbH, Munich.

I taught courses in advanced risk management for the European and German Actuarial Academies Certified Enterprise Risk Actuary (CERA) program 2015-2020.
