Automated machine-learning tools – or tools that automate the creation of machine-learning applications – are increasingly important in the current talent-scarce environment. Expensive ML engineers shouldn't spend their time doing stuff that machines can do quicker and cheaper. This week, we talk to Evan Sparks and Ameet Talwalkar, two of the founders of Determined AI, which builds tools that streamline workflows for machine-learning teams and, the company hopes, will eventually democratize AI.

Last week on the ABA Banking Journal Podcast — in part one of a two-part series — co-host Evan Sparks took listeners on a trip to Tupelo, Miss., the smallest city in the country to have two banks with more than $10 billion in assets headquartered locally. The Tupelo economy is thriving today, with strong employment numbers, a diversified economy, robust GDP growth, quality schools, a best-in-class hospital and a vibrant downtown. Tupelo’s economic performance compares very favorably with similarly situated peer cities. On this week’s episode, Sparks digs into the unique role — and the special difference — that the bank headquarters play in driving Tupelo’s economic performance: attracting a skilled workforce, providing robust competition for business loans, recruiting new companies to the region and benefiting from bank leaders’ executive-level local knowledge. Bank headquarters are disappearing a little more each day as the industry consolidates. Even major cities may not have a single large bank headquarters, and yet Tupelo has two. Is that an X-factor driving Tupelo’s performance? Read the cover story in the March/April 2019 issue of the ABA Banking Journal on the Tupelo story.

Here’s a financial trivia question: What does Tupelo, Miss., have that much larger metropolitan areas, including Atlanta, Phoenix and San Diego, don’t? The answer: Tupelo is the smallest city in America to have at least two banks with more than $10 billion in assets call it home: BancorpSouth Bank and Renasant Bank. In an age of bank consolidation, what difference does it make to have two major hometown banks in a town Tupelo’s size? In part one of a special two-part series on the ABA Banking Journal Podcast, co-host Evan Sparks takes listeners on a trip to America’s tiniest financial hub. This episode, recorded on location, explores the unique factors that set Tupelo apart from its peer cities. Next week, part two will dig more deeply into the effect of having not just the two midsize banks in the market but their headquarters. Read the cover story in the March/April 2019 issue of the ABA Banking Journal on the Tupelo story.

What balance between traditional forms of association communications, such as printed magazines and newsletters, and newer, trendier forms such as podcasts or online communities, should associations strike? We talk with two leading communicators in the association community about maintaining this balance: Evan Sparks of the American Bankers Association and Bill Thorne of the National Retail Federation. Both Evan and Bill head communications at their respective associations, and focus not only on producing content that their members value, but on delivering that content in a way that is accessible and convenient for as many members as possible. While association professionals have ranked traditional face-to-face events and print magazines within their top three communication channels for three years running - AND printed member newsletters broke into our top ten for the first time since we've run this survey - newer, trendier forms of communication are gaining prominence. Private online communities, apps, and podcasts were all rated at very or extremely valuable by 40 percent or more of association professionals surveyed. We talked about the logic of publishing quick updates and in-depth features on different platforms. We touched upon integrating advertiser content into member communication in a way that presents product and service info without determining an association's content strategy. And we cover how to find out which communication platforms are effective among members and other stakeholders, who should be making those decisions, and how often you should be examining those preferences.
