The Linux Foundation recently launched the LF Deep Learning Foundation. The goal of this foundation is to support open source innovations in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning. Jim Zemlin, the Linux Foundation’s Executive Director, stated  “We are excited … Continue reading →

If you use keras (if you don’t, you should!) in your deep learning projects, there is a nice cheat sheet that is worth printing out and keeping near your computer. It summarizes many of the key things you will want … Continue reading →

What is an “embedding” for a dictionary of words?  That is the question this article addresses. When one uses neural networks for linguistic processing, one of the first things to consider is “how should a word be represented”.   In other … Continue reading →

I’ve been interested in joining some Kaggle competitions to sharpen my Data Science and Deep Learning skills.  So, I thought I would report on my experiences – starting with an easy competition :  recognize digits from the MNIST training set.  … Continue reading →

Two interesting papers were published this week demonstrating some remarkable progress in the use of GANs to produce and enhance imagery that is surprisingly realistic.  The first paper, from Nvidia (http://research.nvidia.com/publication/2017-10_Progressive-Growing-of)  – a company that produces GPUs that are often … Continue reading →

A paper published in Nature this week documents a major advance in deep learning. DeepMind, the Alphabet/Google deep learning group reports that they have built a new version of their Go-playing AI program that represents a major improvement over the … Continue reading →
