Computer Vision by Andrew Ng - 11 Lessons Learned - Dec 22, 2017.
I recently completed Andrew Ng’s computer vision course on Coursera. In this article, I will discuss 11 key lessons that I learned in the course. - Deep Learning Made Easy with Deep Cognition - Dec 21, 2017.
So normally we do Deep Learning programming, and learning new APIs, some harder than others, some are really easy an expressive like Keras, but how about a visual API to create and deploy Deep Learning solutions with the click of a button? This is the promise of Deep Cognition.
- Getting Started with TensorFlow: A Machine Learning Tutorial - Dec 19, 2017.
A complete and rigorous introduction to Tensorflow. Code along with this tutorial to get started with hands-on examples.
- A Guide for Customer Retention Analysis with SQL - Dec 19, 2017.
Customer retention curves are essential to any business looking to understand its clients, and will go a long way towards explaining other things like sales figures or the impact of marketing initiatives. They are an easy way to visualize a key interaction between customers and the business.
- NIPS 2017 Key Points & Summary Notes - Dec 18, 2017.
Third year Ph.D student David Abel, of Brown University, was in attendance at NIP 2017, and he labouriously compiled and formatted a fantastic 43-page set of notes for the rest of us. Get them here.
- Best Masters in Data Science and Analytics – Asia and Australia Edition - Dec 14, 2017.
The fourth edition of our comprehensive, unbiased survey on graduate degrees in Data Science and Analytics from around the world.
- How to Generate FiveThirtyEight Graphs in Python - Dec 14, 2017.
In this post, we'll help you. Using Python's matplotlib and pandas, we'll see that it's rather easy to replicate the core parts of any FiveThirtyEight (FTE) visualization.
- The 10 Deep Learning Methods AI Practitioners Need to Apply - Dec 13, 2017.
Deep learning emerged from that decade’s explosive computational growth as a serious contender in the field, winning many important machine learning competitions. The interest has not cooled as of 2017; today, we see deep learning mentioned in every corner of machine learning.
- Today I Built a Neural Network During My Lunch Break with Keras - Dec 8, 2017.
So yesterday someone told me you can build a (deep) neural network in 15 minutes in Keras. Of course, I didn’t believe that at all. So the next day I set out to play with Keras on my own data.
- Best Masters in Data Science and Analytics – Europe Edition - Dec 7, 2017.
The third part of our comprehensive, unbiased survey of graduate programs in Data Science and Analytics, examining the programs from Europe.
- Managing Machine Learning Workflows with Scikit-learn Pipelines Part 1: A Gentle Introduction - Dec 7, 2017.
