Working with Geospatial Data in Machine Learning

Articles

In data science competitions and machine learning projects, we often may encounter geospatial features that are (most of the time) represented as longitude and latitude.

These kinds of features will influence your predictive model’s results by a large margin if they aren’t well represented; therefore, these features are seldom considered, and they’re often eliminated from the feature’s set.

Why You Should Optimize Your Web App Testing with NLP

Articles

In the highly-competitive modern marketplace of web applications, it’s hard to get to the top and even harder to stay there. This is especially true if you’re just entering the market. Hundreds of web apps are released every day, and their inventors strive to grab the attention of new users and potential customers, trying to outshine the others.

Writing a simple Waypoint System in Augmented Reality on iOS

Articles

One of my most frequently requested tutorials has been to have augmented reality objects interact with users in the physical world. Many have asked me for a tutorial on having AR objects follow them around.

So in the spirit of those requests, what we’re going to do today is write a simple waypoint system. Here’s basically how it’ll work: upon firing up the app, we’ll begin tracking positions, and as we move around, we’ll add waypoints that any object we add to the scene will follow.

5G, iPhone 12, and HomePod at a Glance

Articles

Apple’s “live-streamed” event from Apple Park brought improvements to two of their product lines: the iPhone and the HomePod. The most significant improvements were in the iPhone lineup, the most important of which was 5G capabilities and significantly more advanced cameras on the iPhone 12 Pro line. This article will give you a quick rundown of the releases in this year’s Apple event, so you don’t need to watch the full Keynote.

8-Bit Quantization and TensorFlow Lite: Speeding up mobile inference with low precision

Articles

Francois Chollet puts it concisely:

For many deep learning problems, we’re finally getting to the “make it efficient” stage. We’d been stuck in the first two stages for many decades, where speed and efficiency weren’t nearly as important as getting things to work in the first place. So the question of how precise our calculations need to be — and whether we can manage with lower precision — wasn’t often asked.

4 Applications of Artificial Intelligence in the Food Industry

Articles

The food processing industry is benefitting greatly from the latest advancements in artificial intelligence, which is doing everything from helping to sort foods, maintaining top-notch health and safety compliances, developing new products, and bolstering the supply chain. The technology is essentially helping to streamline work processes, making the work of employees easier and making operations more efficient.

Animated StyleGAN image transitions with RunwayML

Articles

I’ll be introducing the tools and principles we’ll be using for this tutorial, outlining the process at a high level, and then doing a more in-depth walkthrough. Lastly, I’ll go through the processing code in a bit more detail to explain how everything works. And if you’re up for it, I’ll have a little quiz / FAQ at the end. But if you just want to get things up and running quickly, just follow the steps in the Process section. You can get the whole thing running in just a few minutes!

An Intro Tutorial for Implementing Long Short-Term Memory Networks (LSTM)

Articles

Human thoughts are persistent, and this enables us to understand patterns, which in turn gives us the ability to predict the next sequence of actions. Your understanding of this article will be based on the previous words that you’ve read. Recurrent Neural Networks replicate this concept.

RNNs are a type of artificial neural network that are able to recognize and predict sequences of data such as text, genomes, handwriting, spoken word, or numerical time series data. They have loops that allow a consistent flow of information and can work on sequences of arbitrary lengths.
