"When we started the year, we had just begun to really ramp up our efforts to create an application around our core deep learning technology," said Tom Wilde, CEO of Indico. "Our goal was to create a practical, solution-oriented user experience to enable enterprises and lines of business to take advantage of the power of AI to deliver real outcomes and ROI -- without the need for difficult-to-find AI talent or expensive and complex deployments. A year later, we're seeing the full fruits of our team's efforts -- strong footing in the explosive Process Automation vertical, with deployments at a number of Fortune 1000 companies -- with huge potential to build on in 2019 and beyond.

Struggling to get started with machine learning using Python? In this step-by-step, hands-on tutorial you will learn how to perform machine learning using Python on numerical data and image data. By the time you are finished reading this post, you will be able to get your start in machine learning. To launch your machine learning in Python education, just keep reading! Inside this tutorial, you will learn how to perform machine learning in Python on numerical data and image data. Using this technique you will be able to get your start with machine learning and Python! Along the way, you'll discover popular machine learning algorithms that you can use in your own projects as well, including: This hands-on experience will give you the knowledge (and confidence) you need to apply machine learning in Python to your own projects. Before we can get started with this tutorial you first need to make sure your system is configured for machine learning. Today's code requires the following libraries: In order to help you gain experience performing machine learning in Python, we'll be working with two separate datasets. The first one, the Iris dataset, is the machine learning practitioner's equivalent of "Hello, World!" (likely one of the first pieces of software you wrote when learning how to program). The second dataset, 3-scenes, is an example image dataset I put together -- this dataset will help you gain experience working with image data, and most importantly, learn what techniques work best for numerical/categorical datasets vs. image datasets. Let's go ahead and get a more intimate look at these datasets.

The Stanford CS 224N course - Natural Language Processing with Deep Learning is known to be one of the best courses around for as evident by the title. I recently started doing the course as I wanted to do NLP for a long time now and considering that the 2019 course is going to be publicly available (http://web.stanford.edu/class/cs224n/), I thought that it might be a good idea to write a blog as I go through the assignments. In a series of stories, I'll be releasing the solutions as I go on about the course. Feel free to comment if you find a mistake or a better solution to mine.

For a few months now I've been working on a web GUI to build, visualise, train and share deep neural models. Encouraged by the positive feedback that I received from this community when I posted preview, I've continued developing it and I now think it's ready for a beta release. The editor can be found here: https://aifiddle.io. Your feedback, ideas, suggestions are greatly useful, so please don't hesitate to share them.

Mode collapse happens quite often and there are some ways to prevent it from happening, #willdiscusshortly. This is a very often problem we see in deep neural networks in general, the same problem gets stronger here because the gradient at Discriminator not only goes back to Discriminator network but also it goes back to Generator network as feedback. Because of it there is no stability in training GAN's. Nash equilibrium happens when one player does not change his/her actions regardless of what the other is doing. Here the kid is neither lossing nor winning.

Researchers at the Queensland University of Technology have developed an algorithm that uses a pair of machine learning techniques to quickly and accurately predict aircraft trajectories and flight paths. The algorithm was designed to increase the understanding of how airspace is used from a defence perspective, but could also be applied to civilian air traffic control or any scenario in which movement needs to be analysed. Data is fed into two neural networks - deep neural networks, which analyse data at multiple levels to predict the probability of outcomes with increasing accuracy; and memory networks, which feature a memory component that can be read from and written to. "In essence, it's built to measure a trajectory in and predict a trajectory out," professor Clinton Fookes from the university's Vision and Signal Processing discipline said. "But as it's taking in the trajectory of the target object, it's also taking in the trajectories of neighbouring objects to create an awareness of what's around the target and how those objects are moving."

During holidays I wanted to ramp up my reinforcement learning skills. Knowing absolutely nothing about the field, I did a course where I was exposed to Q-learning and its "deep" equivalent (Deep-Q Learning). That's where I got exposed to OpenAI's Gym where they have several environments for the agent to play in and learn from. The course was limited to Deep-Q learning, so as I read more on my own. I realized there are now better algorithms such as policy gradients and its variations (such as Actor-Critic method).

Objects make distinctive sounds when they are hit or scratched. These sounds reveal aspects of an object's material properties, as well as the actions that produced them. MIT researchers have demonstrated an algorithm that has effectively learned how to predict sound: When shown a silent video clip of an object being hit, the algorithm can produce a sound for the hit that is realistic enough to fool human viewers. Researchers envision future versions of similar algorithms being used to automatically produce sound effects for movies and TV shows, as well as to help robots better understand objects' properties The team used techniques from the field of "deep learning," which involves teaching computers to sift through huge amounts of data to find patterns on their own. Deep learning approaches are especially useful because they free computer scientists from having to hand-design algorithms and supervise their progress.

After years of using a thin client in the form of increasingly thinner MacBooks, I had gotten used to it. So when I got into Deep Learning (DL), I went straight for the brand new at the time Amazon P2 cloud servers. No upfront cost, the ability to train many models simultaneously and the general coolness of having a machine learning model out there slowly teaching itself. However, as time passed, the AWS bills steadily grew larger, even as I switched to 10x cheaper Spot instances. Also, I didn't find myself training more than one model at a time.
