Machine Learning Exploring Computer Vision (Part II): Transfer Learning February 22, 2016 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Welcome back to our three part series on computer vision. In the previous post, we discussed convolutional neural networks (CNNs). This post will assume that you have a basic understanding of CNNs; we encourage you to reread the first post if you want a refresher on convolutional networks. Introduction to Transfer Learning When we start […] Read more Ā»
Machine Learning Exploring Computer Vision (Part I): Convolutional Neural Networks February 17, 2016 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev This blog post is the first in a series about machine learning algorithms for computer vision. In this post we will discuss how convolutional neural networks (CNNs) help computers understand images. The following posts will discuss how we can reuse CNNs in different domains without having to train new models ā a process called transfer […] Read more Ā»
Business Data Science Machine Learning Why More Bytes Wonāt Make Your Model Stronger January 4, 2016 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev In the frothy sea of Big Data buzz, thereās a tidbit: āMore data beats a better model.ā But if youāre not Google, and youāre not building distributed language models…well, havenāt you ever wondered how much improvement a model should yield when scaling up to a bigger dataset? Here we look at a specific example to […] Read more Ā»
Developers Machine Learning Tutorials Sentiment HQ Sets a New Accuracy Standard December 15, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev “Cutting edge.” It’s usually one of those overused phrases scattered all over company websites to add some marketing pizazz. Everything you see here is on the cutting edge. Yet, it’s perfect for describing Sentiment HQ, one of our newest machine learning models. If you’re not too sure what “sentiment analysis” is, it basically involves using […] Read more Ā»

Business Developers Machine Learning What Even is Sentiment Analysis? September 23, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Machine learning is an incredibly frothy space. It almost seems like every week there’s some new company using machine learning in some revolutionary new way. With all of the deep learning, data mining, and artificial intelligence buzzwords floating around, it can be extremely difficult to separate the signal from the noise. This is not one […] Read more Ā»
Data Science Developers Machine Learning Opinion Piece Three Thought-Provoking Ideas from SIGGRAPH ’15 September 8, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Last month Alec Radford and I had the great pleasure of attending the SIGGRAPH 2015 conference in Los Angeles. If you don’t know about SIGGRAPH, here’s a quick snippet from their website: “Since its beginning in 1974 as a small group of specialists in a previously unknown discipline, ACM SIGGRAPH has evolved to become an international […] Read more Ā»
Data Science Developers Machine Learning Neural Image Captioning for Mortals September 2, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Introduction to Neural Image Captioning Image Captioning is a damn hard problem — one of those frontier-AI problems that defy what we think computers can really do. This summer, I had an opportunity to work on this problem for the Advanced Development team during my internship at indico. The work I did was fascinating but not revolutionary […] Read more Ā»
Data Science Developers Machine Learning Visualizing with t-SNE August 25, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Data visualization A big part of working with data is getting intuition on what those data show. Staring at raw data points, especially when there are many of them, is almost never the correct way to tackle a problem. Low dimensional data are easy to visually inspect. You can simply pick pairs of dimensions and […] Read more Ā»
Business Data Science Developers Machine Learning Data Science Buzzwords Demystified July 6, 2015 / October 9, 2025 by adamdev Predictive analytics. Data science. Machine learning. It seems like lots of people are excited about these words, considering how they keep getting hashtagged all over the place. But letās be honest — how many of us actually understand what they mean or how they relate to one another? Weāve compiled a list of jargon related […] Read more Ā»
