August 29, 2018 by adamdev Depends a bit on which model type youāre talking about, but for the purposes of illustration Iām going to assume that weāre talking about something like a Logistic Regression Model on top of a tf-idf vector. In this situation, as well as many others, model size is more or less constant with dataset size. In […] Read more Ā»
Machine Learning More Effective Transfer Learning for NLP August 22, 2018 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev This spring I presented a talk entitled “Effective Transfer Learning for NLP” at ODSC East. The talk was intended to demonstrate how surprisingly effective pre-trained word and document embeddings are at low training data volumes, and to lay out a set of practical recommendations for applying these techniques to your own tasks. Thanks to some […] Read more Ā»
Featured Writers Opinion Piece The Balance Between Independent Progress and Alignment of Deep Learning and Neuroscience August 21, 2018 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Ā Callahan Wilde interned with us over the summerāwe hope you enjoy this guest post from her: As an intern at Indico Data as well as a neuroscience major at Connecticut College, the correlation between neuroscience and deep learning is of significant interest to me. I wanted to focus my research with the goal of […] Read more Ā»
