Can optical illusions fool AI too?
Deep neural networks (DNN) have made the news recently for their application as a predictive software used to create convincing fake videos of politicians and celebrities. You may not be aware, however, that you have most likely already used the same technology in a much less controversial form: the translation app on…
A Gentle Introduction to Markov Chain Monte Carlo (2012)
Applying probabilistic models to data usually involves integrating a complex, multi-dimensional probability distribution. For example, calculating the expectation/mean of a model distribution invol…

2080 Ti TensorFlow GPU Benchmarks
What's the best GPU for Deep Learning? The 2080 Ti. We benchmark the 2080 Ti vs the Titan V, V100, and 1080 Ti.
Neanderthal vs. ND4J – Native Performance, Java and CPU
Today, Java has a choice of a few well maintained libraries that can use Intel's MKL for fast native operations. MKL is basically as fast as you can get toda...
PyTorch for Scientific Computing: Quantum Mechanics Example Part 2
This is the second post on using Pytorch for Scientific computing. I'm doing an example from Quantum Mechanics. In this post we go through the formulas that need to coded and write them up in PyTorch and give everything a test.
Nvidia Tesla V100 on Google Cloud Platform
NVIDIA Tesla V100 GPUs are now available in beta on Compute Engine and GKE, and NVIDIA Tesla P100 GPUs are now GA.
An AI system for editing music in videos
Given a video of a musical performance, CSAIL’s deep-learning system can make individual instruments louder or softer.
Why Bigger Isn’t Always Better with GANs and AI Art
AI art using GANs (generative adversarial networks) is new enough that the art world does not understand it well enough to evaluate it. We saw this unfold last month when the French artists’ collective Obvious stumbled into selling their very first AI artwork for $450K at Christie’s . Many in th
Machine Learning for Drummers
TL;DR: In this post, I build an app that classifies whether an audio sample is a kick drum, snare drum, or other drum sample with 87% accuracy using 🎉machine learning. 🎉
