Examples to compare OCR services: Amazon vs. Google vs. Microsoft
We're building a note app that needs to do OCR as well as possible. We hoped there would be a good modern 2019 comparison of the image OCR services, but as of July 2019, there wasn't, so we wrote one.

Adventures Building a Self-Driving RC Car
Having read some amazing books on Machine Learning, I had been looking for opportunities to apply ML from first principles in the real world. That was what got me curious about the wonderful Donkey Car project. The project is essentially a how-to guide to building your own RC car which can drive itself around a track…

Interpretable Machine Learning
Machine learning is part of our products, processes, and research. But computers usually don’t explain their predictions , which can cause many problems, ranging from trust issues to undetected bugs. This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable.

AIs Named by AIs
Neural networks can be good at naming things, I’ve discovered. Recently I’ve been experimenting with a neural network called GPT-2, which OpenAI trained on a huge chunk of the internet. Thanks to a colab notebook implementation by Max Woolf, I’m able to fine-tune it on specific lists of data -

Logistic Regression from Bayes’ Theorem
In this post we’ll explore how we can derive logistic regression from Bayes’ Theorem. Starting with Bayes’ Theorem we’ll work our way to computing the log odds of our problem and the arrive at the inverse logit function. After reading this post you’ll have a much stronger intuition for how logistic

Chip design drastically reduces energy needed to compute with light
MIT researchers have developed a “photonic” artificial intelligence (AI) accelerator that computes using light instead of electricity — and consumes relatively little power in the process — to run massive neural networks millions of times more efficiently than today’s classical computers.

Language, trees, and geometry in neural networks
Language is made of discrete structures, yet neural networks operate on continuous data: vectors in high-dimensional space. A successful language-processing network must translate this symbolic information into some kind of geometric representation—but in what form? Word embeddings provide two well-known examples…
