• A Friendly Introduction to Graph Neural Networks - 30 Nov 2020
  
  Despite being what can be a confusing topic, graph neural networks can be distilled into just a handful of simple concepts. Read on to find out more.
• Compute Goes Brrr: Revisiting Sutton’s Bitter Lesson for AI - 19 Nov 2020
  
  "It's just about having more compute." Wait, is that really all there is to AI? As Richard Sutton's 'bitter lesson' sinks in for more AI researchers, a debate has stirred that considers a potentially more subtle relationship between advancements in AI based on ever-more-clever algorithms and massively scaled computational power.
• Building Neural Networks with PyTorch in Google Colab - 30 Oct 2020
  
  Combining PyTorch and Google's cloud-based Colab notebook environment can be a good solution for building neural networks with free access to GPUs. This article demonstrates how to do just that.
• Autograd: The Best Machine Learning Library You’re Not Using? - 16 Sep 2020
  
  If there is a Python library that is emblematic of the simplicity, flexibility, and utility of differentiable programming it has to be Autograd.
• A Deep Dive Into the Transformer Architecture – The Development of Transformer Models - 24 Aug 2020
  
  Even though transformers for NLP were introduced only a few years ago, they have delivered major impacts to a variety of fields from reinforcement learning to chemistry. Now is the time to better understand the inner workings of transformer architectures to give you the intuition you need to effectively work with these powerful tools.
• Exploring GPT-3: A New Breakthrough in Language Generation - 10 Aug 2020
  
  GPT-3 is the largest natural language processing (NLP) transformer released to date, eclipsing the previous record, Microsoft Research’s Turing-NLG at 17B parameters, by about 10 times. This has resulted in an explosion of demos: some good, some bad, all interesting.
• Deep Learning for Signal Processing: What You Need to Know - 27 Jul 2020
  
  Signal Processing is a branch of electrical engineering that models and analyzes data representations of physical events. It is at the core of the digital world. And now, signal processing is starting to make some waves in deep learning.
• Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN): Deep Learning for Sequential Data - 20 Jul 2020
  
  Recurrent Neural Networks can be used for a number of ways such as detecting the next word/letter, forecasting financial asset prices in a temporal space, action modeling in sports, music composition, image generation, and more.
• Deep Learning in Finance: Is This The Future of the Financial Industry? - 10 Jul 2020
