We introduce a graph-aware autoencoder ensemble framework, with associated formalisms and tooling, designed to facilitate deep learning for scholarship in the humanities. By composing sub-architectures to produce a model isomorphic to a humanistic domain we maintain interpretability while providing function signatures for each sub-architectural choice, allowing both traditional and computational researchers to collaborate without disrupting established practices. We illustrate a practical application of our approach to a historical study of the American post-Atlantic slave trade, and make several specific technical contributions: a novel hybrid graph-convolutional autoencoder mechanism, batching policies for common graph topologies, and masking techniques for particular use-cases. The effectiveness of the framework for broadening participation of diverse domains is demonstrated by a growing suite of two dozen studies, both collaborations with humanists and established tasks from machine learning literature, spanning a variety of fields and data modalities. We make performance comparisons of several different architectural choices and conclude with an ambitious list of imminent next steps for this research.

Support vector machines are a class of techniques in data science, which had great popularity in the data science community. They are mainly used in classification tasks and perform really well when few training data is available. Sadly, SVMs have been almost forgotten lately due to the massive popularity of deep learning. But I my opinion they are a tool that every data scientist should have in their toolbox, because they are faster to train and sometimes even outperform neural networks. In this blog, you will learn that SVMs use hyperplanes to separate and classify our data.

In this article, I will illustrate how distributed deep learning works. I have created animations that should help you get a high-level understanding of distributed deep learning. But let's start with the basics. Graphics processing units (GPUs) are specialized cores that can perform multiple, simultaneous mathematical computations. Deep learning computations can be broken down into a series of matrix multiplications and that is where GPUs excel over CPUs.

If you're thinking about ResNets, yes, they are related. ResNeXt-50 has 25M parameters (ResNet-50 has 25.5M). What's different about ResNeXts is the adding of parallel towers/branches/paths within each module, as seen above indicated by'total 32 towers.' Recall that in a convolution, the value of a pixel is a linear combination of the weights in a filter and the current sliding window. The authors proposed that instead of this linear combination, let's have a mini neural network with 1 hidden layer.

Welcome to GradientCrescent's special series on reinforcement learning. This series will serve to introduce some of the fundamental concepts in reinforcement learning using digestible examples, primarily obtained from the" Reinforcement Learning" text by Sutton et. Note that code in this series will be kept to a minimum- readers interested in implementations are directed to the official course, or our Github. The secondary purpose of this series is to reinforce (pun intended) my own learning in the field. Reinforcement learning has quickly captured the imagination of the general public, with organisations such as Deepming achieving success in games such as Go, Starcraft, and Quake III, along with more practical achievements such as disease detection and self-mapping.

Nigel Ford's book purports to be both an introduction to AI and an examination of whether machines are cognizant entities.With this pairing, Ford intends to begin at the beginning, answering the question "what is AI?" and to proceed to his main thesis about whether machines can think. Unfortunately, Ford is unable to move on to the higher plane of his main thesis.
