Computer program fixes old code faster than expert engineers
Computer scientists at MIT have developed a program called Helium that can automatically revamp and fine-tune old code, without needing the original source, in a matter of hours or even minutes.

Why Deep Learning Works II: the Renormalization Group
Deep Learning is amazing. But why is Deep Learning so successful? Is Deep Learning just old-school Neural Networks on modern hardware? Is it just that we have so much data now the methods work b…

Using Waifu2x to Upscale Japanese Prints
In my spare time I’ve been working on a database of Japanese prints for a little over 3.5 years now. I’m fully aware that I’ve never actually written about this, personally very important, project on my blog — until now. Unfortunately this isn’t a post explaining that project. I do still hope to write more about the…
Top data mining algorithms in plain English
Today, I'm going to explain in plain English the top 10 most influential data mining algorithms as voted on by 3 separate panels in this survey paper. Once you know what they are, how they work, what they do and where you ... Read More
Hyperlapse makes first-person videos smooth and speedy
Professional photographer Nick Didlick always wanted to make a great ski movie, but he had long been stymied by the need for two things: Tons of pricey camera gear, and plenty of time to shoot.

Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python
I am super-excited to announce that the book I've been working on for more than the last year, Data Science from Scratch: First Principles with Python is finally available! (buy from O'Reilly, use...
NHL goal celebration hack: real-time machine learning and hue light show
This post does a deep dive on the **epic goal celebration hack**. In a single sentence, I trained a machine learning model to detect in real-time that a goal was just scored by the Habs based on the live audio feed of a game and to trigger a light show using Philips hues in my living room.
Probabilistic programming does in 50 lines of code what used to take thousands
MIT researchers demonstrate probabilistic programming that does in 50 lines of code what used to take thousands.
The State of Probabilistic Programming
For two weeks last July, I cocooned myself in a hotel in Portland, OR, living and breathing probabilistic programming as a “student” in the probabilistic programming summer school run by DARPA. The…
Deep Learning vs. Probabilistic Graphical Models vs. Logic
A Blog about Deep Learning, Computer Vision, and the algorithms that are shaping the future of Artificial Intelligence.
Amazon Machine Learning – Make Data-Driven Decisions at Scale
Today, it is relatively straightforward and inexpensive to observe and collect vast amounts of operational data about a system, product, or process. Not surprisingly, there can be tremendous amounts of information buried within gigabytes of customer purchase data, web site navigation trails, or responses to email…

Images that fool computer vision raise security concerns
Computers are learning to recognize objects with near-human ability. But Cornell researchers have found that computers, like humans, can be fooled by optical illusions, which raises security concerns.
Deep Learning vs. Machine Learning vs. Pattern Recognition
For Data Scientists: Machine Learning vs Deep Learning discussion, Deep Learning vs Machine Learning, and what is difference between machine learning, pattern recognition, computer vision, robotics, and artificial intelligence.
