How to Patch Together an AI from Scratch
by Christopher Phillips How to Patch Together an AI from Scratch Image source: The Modern Quilt Guild [http://www.themodernquiltguild.com/] Yesterday I started the Tic Tac Toe project from Free Code Camp [http://freecodecamp.com]. It’s a “programming” challenge in many ways, as it involves creating AI that responds intelligently to your moves. In
The Age of Self-Serve is Coming to an End
by Alex Bunardzic The Age of Self-Serve is Coming to an End Bots will soon free us from the trap of “self service” (image credit: Robot and Frank [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1990314/])The history of the human race is basically a history of technology. Some would object that history of human race is pretty
How to Design a Bot Protocol
by Alex Bunardzic How to Design a Bot Protocol One of the biggest fallacies about the present bot craze is that bots need to be capable of offering nuanced, sophisticated conversational experience (How does your bot say ‘ketchup’? [https://medium.com/hh-design/how-does-your-bot-say-ketchup-9bdc3fd3cb86#.4jacwzd65] ). That sentiment is completely unsubstantiated, and is probably based on
The Business Implications of Machine Learning
by Drew Breunig The Business Implications of Machine Learning It’s not about what it can do, but the effects of its prioritization As buzzwords become ubiquitous they become easier to tune out. We’ve finely honed this defense mechanism, for good purpose. It’s better to focus on what’s in front of
Building Online Communities: Keras.io
by Gitter Building Online Communities: Keras.io François Chollet [https://twitter.com/fchollet] is an AI and deep learning researcher at Google. He’s the author of Keras [https://keras.io/]— a minimalist, highly modular neural networks library, written in Python and capable of running on top of either TensorFlow or Theano [https://github.com/Theano/Theano]. With a goal to
Weekend project: sign language and static-gesture recognition using scikit-learn
by Sreehari Weekend project: sign language and static-gesture recognition using scikit-learn Let’s build a machine learning pipeline that can read the sign language alphabet just by looking at a raw image of a person’s hand. A raw image indicating the alphabet ‘A’ in sign languageThis problem has two parts to
How to Build a Simple Image Recognition System with TensorFlow (Part 1)
by Wolfgang Beyer How to Build a Simple Image Recognition System with TensorFlow (Part 1) This isn’t a general introduction to Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning or Deep Learning. There are already lots of great articles covering these topics (for example here [http://fortune.com/ai-artificial-intelligence-deep-machine-learning/] or here [https://medium.com/@ageitgey/machine-learning-is-fun-80ea3ec3c471]). And this isn’t a discussion
How to Build a Simple Image Recognition System with TensorFlow (Part 2)
by Wolfgang Beyer How to Build a Simple Image Recognition System with TensorFlow (Part 2) This is the second part of my introduction to building an image recognition system with TensorFlow. In the first part [http://www.wolfib.com/Image-Recognition-Intro-Part-1/] we built a softmax classifier to label images from the CIFAR-10 dataset. We achieved
