In this post we will learn how to create a binder so that our data analysis, for instance, can be fully reproduced by other researchers. That is, in this post we will learn how to use binder for reproducible research.

Hugging Face, the NLP startup behind several social AI apps and open source libraries such as PyTorch BERT, just released a new python library called PyTorch Transformers.
Transformers are a new set of techniques used to train highly performing and efficient models for performing natural language processing (NLP) and natural language understanding (NLU) tasks such as questions answering and sentiment analysis. Several of the recent techniques used to improve and advance the performance of NLP models, such as XLNet and BERT, are all based on a variation of Transformer.

If you think Bayes’ theorem is counter-intuitive and Bayesian statistics, which builds upon Baye’s theorem, can be very hard to understand. I am with you.
There are countless reasons why we should learn Bayesian statistics, in particular, Bayesian statistics is emerging as a powerful framework to express and understand next-generation deep neural networks.

Calculating Black-Scholes implied volatilities is a key part of financial modelling, and is not easy to do efficiently.
The benchmark in this field is the iterative method due to Peter Jaeckel (2015), though some banks have their own methods. NAG have teamed up with Dr Kathrin Glau and her colleagues from Queen Mary University of London to see whether their research in Chebyshev interpolation could be combined with NAG’s expertise in efficient computing to provide a faster way of obtaining implied volatilities.

This article describes how to to use Microsoft Azure’s Cognitive Services Face API and python to identify, count and classify people in a picture. In addition, it will show how to use the service to compare two face images and tell if they are the same person. We will try it out with several celebrity look-alikes to see if the algorithm can tell the difference between two similar Hollywood actors. By the end of the article, you should be able to use these examples to further explore Azure’s Cognitive Services with python and incorporate them in your own projects.

In today’s tutorial, you will learn how to use Keras’ ImageDataGenerator class to perform data augmentation. I’ll also dispel common confusions surrounding what data augmentation is, why we use data augmentation, and what it does/does not do.

Machine learning is pretty undeniably the hottest topic in data science right now. It’s also the basic concept that underpins some of the most exciting areas in technology, like self-driving cars and predictive analytics. Searches for Machine Learning on Google hit an all-time-high in April of 2019, and they interest hasn’t declined much since.

But like in most cities, finding a parking space here is always frustrating. Spots get snapped up quickly and even if you have a dedicated parking space for yourself, it’s hard for friends to drop by since they can’t find a place to park.
My solution was to point a camera out the window and use deep learning to have my computer text me when a new parking spot opens up.
