The 7 NLP Techniques That Will Change How You Communicate in the Future (Part I)

Articles

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.

The 5 Algorithms for Efficient Deep Learning Inference on Small Devices

Articles

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.

Q-Learning With The Frozen Lake Environment In Android

Articles

Q-learning is one of the simplest algorithms to try reinforcement learning. Reinforcement learning, as the name suggests, focuses on learning (by an agent) in a reinforced environment. The agent performs an action, analyses the outcome, and gets a reward. The agent then learns to interact with its environment by taking into consideration the rewards which it will get by performing specific actions in a particular state.

The 4 Research Techniques to Train Deep Neural Network Models More Efficiently

Articles

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.

Reproducing Images using a Genetic Algorithm with Python

Articles

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.
