  • Mapping The AI toolchain
    Access to AI will be democratized. During this transition, we believe AI – particularly deep learning – will begin to resemble a general-purpose computing platform. But a new set of tools will be necessary to make that vision a reality. To advance the conversation, we are publishing an alpha landscape of the emerging AI Toolchain...
  • Arbitrary Image Stylization in the Browser
    This is an implementation of an arbitrary image stylization algorithm running purely in the browser using TensorFlow.js. As with all neural style transfer algorithms, a neural network attempts to "draw" one picture, the Content (usually a photograph), in the style of another, the Style (usually a painting)...

Data Science Articles & Videos

  • Discovery of independently controllable features through autonomous goal setting
    Despite recent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, machine learning agents remain limited to tasks predefined by human engineers. The autonomous and simultaneous discovery and learning of many-tasks in an open world remains very challenging for reinforcement learning algorithms. In this blog post we explore recent advances in developmental learning to tackle the problems of autonomous exploration and learning...
  • Rethinking ImageNet Pre-training
    We report competitive results on object detection and instance segmentation on the COCO dataset using standard models trained from random initialization....
  • A Convergence Theory for Deep Learning via Over-Parameterization
    In this work, we prove why simple algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent (SGD) can find global minima on the training objective of DNNs. We only make two assumptions: the inputs do not degenerate and the network is over-parameterized ... solving one of the most important unsolved problems in DNN ...

Books


  • Data Smart: Using Data Science to Transform Information into Insight
    "The best single book on Data Science today. I handle the data analysis and BI for the delivery side of a huge internet-based retail company, and have been a fan of Foreman's since his "Analytics Made Skeezy" blog days. His explanations are clear, his examples are to the point, and throughout it all, he is results-oriented."...
