End to End Machine Learning Pipeline Tutorial
In the fall of 2016, I was a Teaching Fellow (Harvard's version of TA) for the graduate class on "Advanced Topics in Data Science (CS209/109)" at Harvard University. I was in-charge of designing the class project given to the students, and this tutorial has been built on top of the project I designed for the class.
What if AI is a failed dream?
A collection of thoughts, ideas and unsolicited opinion from Made by Many: articles, reflections, talks and interviews from the people doing the work.
Using Deep Learning to Create Professional-Level Photographs

Using Tesseract OCR with Python
In this tutorial you will learn how to apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to images using PyTesseract, Python, and OpenCV.
When not to use deep learning
I know it’s a weird way to start a blog with a negative, but there was a wave of discussion in the last few days that I think serves as a good hook for some topics on which I’ve been thinking recently. It all started with a post in the Simply Stats blog by Jeff Leek on the caveats of using deep learning in the small…
Benchmarking TensorFlow on Cloud CPUs: Cheaper Deep Learning Than Cloud GPUs
Using CPUs instead of GPUs for deep learning training in the cloud is cheaper because of the massive cost differential afforded by preemptible instances.
Where machine learning meets rule-based systems
Summary: This post addresses some high-level questions like: Longer term, how much of the verification of Intelligent Autonomous Systems can be done with just Machine Learning (ML)? Should most req…
Generating faces of cats using Generative Adversarial Networks
I experimented with generating faces of cats using Generative adversarial networks (GAN). I wanted to try DCGAN, WGAN and WGAN-GP in low and higher resolutions. I used the CAT dataset (yes this is …
An Adversarial Review of “Adversarial Generation of Natural Language”
Or, for fucks sake, DL people, leave language alone and stop saying you solve it.
I ask 100 information questions to four digital assistants
After seeing the poor feedback of Watson in Bridge Crew, I decided to take my four digital assistants for a spin. After 21 questions across four assistants, I learned that Alexa cannot give basic information about Amazon Prime videos, none of them can properly understand which movie you're looking f
Generating music with expressive timing and dynamics
We present Performance RNN, an LSTM-based recurrent neural network designed to model polyphonic music with expressive timing and dynamics. Here’s an example...
