Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a field at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, and linguistics. The goal is for computers to process or “understand” natural language in order to perform tasks like Language Translation and Question Answering.

With the rise of voice interfaces and chatbots, NLP is one of the most important technologies of the information age a crucial part of artificial intelligence. Fully understanding and representing the meaning of language is an extremely difficult goal. Why? Because human language is quite special.

With recent developments in deep learning, neural networks are getting larger and larger. For example, in the ImageNet recognition challenge, the winning model, from 2012 to 2015, increased in size by 16 times. And in just one year, for Baidu’s Deep Speech model, the number of training operations increased by 10 times.

Imagine you have trained an image classification model whose performance seems a bit poor—did you know there’s more you can do to improve such a model and reduce its bias? You’ve done a lot in creating your model pipeline and then building a predictive model using neural networks, yet its not improving as you expected

Deep learning and unsupervised feature learning have shown great promise in many practical applications. State-of-the-art performance has been reported in several domains, ranging from speech recognition and image recognition to text processing and beyond.

It’s also been observed that increasing the scale of deep learning—with respect to numbers of training examples, model parameters, or both—can drastically improve accuracy. These results have led to a surge of interest in scaling up the training and inference algorithms used for these models and in improving optimization techniques for both.

This tutorial documents a GitHub project called GARI (Genetic Algorithm for Reproducing Images). The project is available here:

Before discussing the details of the project, let’s run through a quick overview of it.

The GARI project accepts an image as input. This image can have one or more channels (i.e. the image could be binary, gray, or color, such as RGB). RGB is the most popular color model that produces any color as a combination of the 3 color channels Red, Green, and Blue. Hence its abbreviation.

Powering applications with the ability to understand the natural language of the text always amazes me. Apple made some significant strides with its Natural Language framework last year (2019). Specifically, the introduction of a built-in sentiment analysis feature can only help build smarter NLP-based iOS Applications.

Besides the improvements to the Natural Language framework, SwiftUI and Combine were the two biggies that were introduced during WWDC 2019.

In this article, we’ll be learning the following:

Object detection can be defined as a branch of computer vision which deals with the localization and the identification of an object. Object localization and identification are two different tasks that are put together to achieve this singular goal of object detection.

Object localization deals with specifying the location of an object in an image or a video stream, while object identification deals with assigning the object to a specific label, class, or description. With computer vision, developers can flexibly do things like embed surveillance tracking systems for security enhancement, real-time crop prediction, real-time disease identification/ tracking in the human cells, etc.
