Playing Mortal Kombat with TensorFlow.js
While experimenting with enhancements of the prediction model of Guess.js, I started looking at deep learning. I’ve focused mainly on recurrent neural networks (RNNs), specifically LSTM because of their “unreasonable effectiveness” in the domain of Guess.js. In the same time, I started playing with convolutional…

Interactive GPU Programming, Part 2: Hello OpenCL
This is really the same article as Part 1 - Hello CUDA, but with the focus on OpenCL, so I'll skip most of the narration and just show you the code.

Do neural networks dream of electric sheep?
If you’ve been on the internet today, you’ve probably interacted with a neural network. They’re a type of machine learning algorithm that’s used for everything from language translation to finance modeling. One of their specialties is image recognition. Several companies - including Google, Microsoft, IBM, and…

A New Angle on L2 Regularization
Deep neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable to the adversarial example phenomenon: all models tested so far can have their classifications dramatically altered by small image perturbations . The following predictions were for instance made by a state-of-the-art network trained to recognize celebrities :

Imaginary worlds dreamed by BigGAN
These are some of the most amazing generated images I’ve ever seen. Introducing BigGAN, a neural network that generates high-resolution, sometimes photorealistic, imitations of photos it’s seen. None of the images below are real - they’re all generated by BigGAN.

AI Nationalism
For the past 9 months I have been presenting versions of this talk to AI researchers, investors, politicians and policy makers. I felt it was time to share these ideas with a wider audience. Thanks to the Ditchley conference on Machine Learning in 2017 for giving me a fantastic platform to get ear

Multi-Armed Bandits, Conjugate Models and Bayesian Reinforcement Learning
This is the first of a two-part series about Bayesian bandit algorithms. Check out the second post here. Let’s talk about Bayesianism. It’s developed a reputation (not entirely justified, but not entirely unjustified either) for being too mathematically sophisticated or too computationally intensive to work at scale…
