PyData provides a forum for the international community of users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. The communities approach data science using many languages, including (but not limited to) Python, Julia, and R. April 2018, a PyData conference was held in London, with three days of super…

Generating Pusheen with AI
Zack Nado wrote the best machine learning application I’ve seen so far: a neural network architecture that generates new Pusheen pictures. In his blog, Zack describes his generative adversarial network (GAN) , a special type of machine learning architecture where two neural networks try to fool each other. Zack first gave the discriminator network some real Pusheen images,…
Open Source Visual Inspector for Neuroevolution (VINE)
In optimizing their transportation services, Uber uses evolutionary strategies and genetic algorithms to train deep neural networks through reinforcement learning. A lot of difficult words in one sentence; you can imagine the complexity of the process. Because it is particularly difficult to observe the underlying dynamics of this learning process in neural network optimization, Uber…
Super Resolution: A Photo Enhancer AI
In the video below, one of my favorite YouTube channels (Two Minute Papers) discusses a new super resolution project where academic scholars taught a neural network to improve low quality photo’s. The researchers took the same picture with multiple camera’s of varying quality and allowed a neural network to learn how the lowest quality pictures can be adjusted to…
Machine Learning and AI courses at Google
Google has announced to provide open access to its artificial intelligence and machine learning courses. On their overview page, you will find many educational resources from machine learning experts at Google. They announced to share AI and machine learning lessons, tutorials and hands-on exercises for people at all experience levels. Simply filter through the resources and…
The wondrous state of Computer Vision, and what the algorithms actually “see”
The field of computer vision tries to replicate our human visual capabilities, allowing computers to perceive their environment in a same way as you and I do. The recent breakthroughs in this field are super exciting and I couldn’t but share them with you. In the TED talk below by Joseph Redmon (PhD at the University of…
“What’s the difference between data science, machine learning, and artificial intelligence?”, visualized.
There has been a lot of hype around data the past years. With the big data buzz cooling down, data now needs to be smart, apparently. Data scientists became the most sexy professionals alive, and got a martial arts assistant. Artificial intelligence has been hot for decades, the term seems to change meaning every now and then. Currently, machine…
Super Resolution: Increasing image quality CSI-like
Super-resolution imaging is a class of techniques that enhance the resolution of an imaging system (Wikipedia). The entertainment series CSI has been ridiculed for relying on exaggerated and unrealistic applications of it: Until recently, such upscaling of images were though near impossible. However, we have evidenced some pretty amazing breakthroughs in the deep learning space recently. Artificial Intelligence can think ahead, learn physics, and…
Facial Recognition Challenge: Chad Smith & Will Ferrell
The below summarizes Part 4 of a medium.com series by Adam Geitgey. Check out the original articles: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Part 6, Part 7 and Part 8! Adam Geitgey likes to write about computers and machine learning. He explains machine learning as “generic algorithms that can tell you something interesting about a set of data without you having to…
