Singular Value Decomposition Part 2: Theorem, Proof, Algorithm
I’m just going to jump right into the definitions and rigor, so if you haven’t read the previous post motivating the singular value decomposition, go back and do that first. This post will be theorem, proof, algorithm, data. The data set we test on is a thousand-story CNN news data set. All of the data, code, and…

SyntaxNet in Context: Understanding Google's New TensorFlow NLP Model
Yesterday, Google open sourced their Tensorflow-based dependency parsing library, SyntaxNet. The library gives access to a line of neural network parsing models published by Google researchers over the last two years. I've been following this work closely since it was published, and have been looking forward to the…

Finding Similar Music Using Matrix Factorization
In a previous post I wrote about how to build a ‘People Who Like This Also Like …’ feature for displaying lists of similar musicians. My goal was to show how simple Information Retrieval techniques can do a good job calculating lists of related artists. For instance, using BM25 distance on The Beatles shows the most…

Number plate recognition with Tensorflow
Over the past few weeks I’ve been dabbling with deep learning, in particular convolutional neural networks . One standout paper from recent times is Google’s Multi-digit Number Recognition from Street View . This paper describes a system for extracting house numbers from street view imagery using a single end-to-end…
