Ryan Holbrook made awesome animated GIFs in R of several classifiers learning a decision rule boundary between two classes. Basically, what you see is a machine learning model in action, learning how to distinguish data of two classes, say cats and dogs, using some X and Y variables. These visuals can be great to understand…

AI Book Review: You look like a thing and I love you
The following are my summary and take-aways from Janelle Shane’s 2019 book named You look like a thing and I love you. Most of the below are excerpts from Janelle’s book, combined, or rewritten by me. For the sake of copyright, just consider everything Janelle’s : ) AI weirdness You look like a thing and…

Neural Synesthesia: GAN AI dreaming of music
Xander Steenbrugge shared his latest work on LinkedIn yesterday, and I was completely stunned! Xander had been working on, what he called, a “fun side-project”, but which was in my eyes, absolutely awesome. He had used two generative adversarial networks (GANs) to teach one another how to respond visually to changing audio cues. This resulted…
Learn Programming Project-Based: Build-Your-Own-X
Last week, this interesting reddit thread was filled with overviews for cool projects that may help you learn a programming language. The top entries are: Build Your Own X, by Dani Stefanovic Project-based Learning, by Tu Tran Projects from Scratch, by Algory L. Project-based Tutorials in C, by Robby Awesome DIY Software, by Cameron Eagans…
3D visual representations of common neural network architectures
Came across this awesome Youtube video that blew my mind. Definitely a handy resource if you want to explain the inner workings of neural networks. Have a look! Reminded me of my other go-to resource when it comes to explaining neural nets, the playlists by 3Blue1Brown: I’ll surely add these to the other neural network…
Procedural Cave Generation in C# & Unity
Ever wondered what it is like to program computer games? Or even better, what it is like to program programs that program your computer games for you? Then welcome to the wonderful world of procedural game design, such as Spore, Borderlands, and No Man’s Sky. Recently, I have been watching and greatly enjoying this Youtube…
Beating Battleships with Algorithms and AI
Past days, I discovered this series of blogs on how to win the classic game of Battleships (gameplay explanation) using different algorithmic approaches. I thought they might amuse you as well : ) The story starts with this 2012 Datagenetics blog where Nick Berry constrasts four algorithms’ performance in the game of Battleships. The resulting levels…
Tensorflow for R Gallery
Tensorflow is a open-source machine learning (ML) framework. It’s primarily used to build neural networks, and thus very often used to conduct so-called deep learning through multi-layered neural nets. Although there are other ML frameworks — such as Caffe or Torch — Tensorflow is particularly famous because it was developed by researchers of Google’s Brain…
