Using CPUs instead of GPUs for deep learning training in the cloud is cheaper because of the massive cost differential afforded by preemptible instances.
Let’s hack the world’s most popular Wordpress CAPTCHA Plug-in
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…
This article was originally written in 2014, but has had some minor improvements in December 2017 and January 2018 when I received some useful feedback after the article had unexpectedly been posted on Hacker News in December 2017.

OpenAI Universe was very exciting when it first came out. With Universe, it was suddenly possible to train AI to play Flash games, book flights online, and perform various other real-world tasks. Unfortunately, Universe never really took off in the AI world. I don’t know why others aren’t using Universe, but I can…

Let’s explore some basic concepts that will help us create a simple chess AI:
Language models assign probability values to sequences of words. Those three words that appear right above your keyboard on your phone that try to predict the next word you’ll type are one of the uses of language modeling. In the case shown below, the language model is predicting that “from”, “on” and “it” have a high…

In this tutorial you will learn how to apply Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to images using PyTesseract, Python, and OpenCV.
The modern messaging tools that chatbots run on offer much more ways to interact compared to what previous incarnations of chatbots had, such as those used on IRC or AIM. Much advise on building chatbots that’s out there quietly assumes that all chatbots are just text-in-text-out, which doesn’t match with the…
This was a busy week, I had no time to read anything new, so I'm sharing a note that I wrote for myself, for no other reason than to understand things better. It's a kind of cookbook of various "transformations" you can apply to...
