We are going to take an introductory look (or listen?) at... Continue Reading →

This is understandable since someone's face is what we are presented in most communicative situations and it is what... Continue Reading →
A while ago, I wrote a blog post on convolutional networks (A gentle introduction to Image Recognition by Convolutional Neural Network) in which I described the mathematics and inner workings of these networks. To write the post I created a model to classify "birds" and "airplanes" from a training set containing a total of 8000 images... Continue Reading →
