Some people, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use regular expressions.” Now they have two problems. – Jamie Zawinski Some programmers, when confronted with a problem, think “I know, I’ll use floating point arithmetic.” Now they have 1.999999999997 problems. – @tomscott Some people, when confronted with a problem, ...

Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes. Show me a sane man and I will cure him for you. Carl Jung   We’re made of star stuff. We are a way for the cosmos to know itself. If you want to make an apple pie from scratch, you must ...

“Lights, camera and … action – Take 4+!” This post includes  a rework of all presentation of ‘Elements of Neural Networks and Deep  Learning Parts 1-8 ‘ since my earlier presentations had some missing parts, omissions and some occasional errors. So I have re-recorded all the presentations. This series of presentation will do a ...

This is the final set of presentations in my series ‘Elements of Neural Networks and Deep Learning’. This set follows the earlier 2 sets of presentations namely 1. My presentations on ‘Elements of Neural Networks & Deep Learning’ -Part1,2,3 2. My presentations on ‘Elements of Neural Networks & Deep Learning’ -Parts 4,5 In this final … Continue ...

This is the next set of presentations on “Elements of Neural Networks and Deep Learning”.  In the 4th presentation I discuss and derive the generalized equations for a multi-unit, multi-layer Deep Learning network.  The 5th presentation derives the equations for a Deep Learning network when performing multi-class classification along with ...

I will be uploading a series of presentations on ‘Elements of Neural Networks and Deep Learning’. In these video presentations I discuss the derivations of L -Layer Deep Learning Networks, starting from the basics. The corresponding implementations are available in vectorized R, Python and Octave are available in my book ‘...

Are you wondering whether to get into the ‘R’ bus or ‘Python’ bus? My suggestion is to you is “Why not get into the ‘R and Python’ train?” The third edition of my book ‘Practical Machine Learning with R and Python – Machine Learning in stereo’ is now available in both ...

The second edition of my book ‘Deep Learning from first principles:Second Edition- In vectorized Python, R and Octave’, is now available on Amazon, in both paperback ($14.99)  and kindle ($9.99/Rs449/-)  versions. Since this book is almost 70% code, all functions, and code snippets have been formatted to use the fixed-width ...

Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed caves of ocean bear; Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. Thomas Gray, An Elegy Written In A Country Churchyard Introduction It is finally here! cricpy, the python avatar , ...

The second edition of my book ‘Practical Machine Learning with R and Python – Machine Learning in stereo’ is now available in both paperback ($10.99) and kindle ($7.99/Rs449) versions.  This second edition includes more content,  extensive comments and formatting for better readability. In this book I implement some of the most common, ...

My 4th book(self-published), “Deep Learning from first principles – In vectorized Python, R and Octave” (557 pages), is now available on Amazon in both paperback ($16.99) and kindle ($6.65/Rs449). The book starts with the most primitive 2-layer Neural Network and works  its way to a generic L-layer Deep Learning Network, with all ...

1. Introduction You don’t understand anything until you learn it more than one way. Marvin Minsky No computer has ever been designed that is ever aware of what it’s doing; but most of the time, we aren’t either. Marvin Minsky A wealth of information creates a poverty of ...

Artificial Intelligence is the new electricity. – Prof Andrew Ng Most of human and animal learning is unsupervised learning. If intelligence was a cake, unsupervised learning would be the cake, supervised learning would be the icing on the cake, and reinforcement learning would be the cherry on the cake. We know ...

“Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You.” Dr. Seuss “Explanations exist; they have existed for all time; there is always a well-known solution to every human problem — neat, plausible, and wrong.” H L Mencken Introduction In this 6th ...

Introduction a. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. b. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. c. A robot must protect its own existence ...

In this 4th post of my series on Deep Learning from first principles in Python, R and Octave – Part 4, I explore the details of creating a multi-class classifier using the Softmax activation unit in a neural network. The earlier posts in this series were 1. Deep Learning from first principles in ...

“Once upon a time, I, Chuang Tzu, dreamt I was a butterfly, fluttering hither and thither, to all intents and purposes a butterfly. I was conscious only of following my fancies as a butterfly, and was unconscious of my individuality as a man. Suddenly, I awoke, and there I lay, ...

“What does the world outside your head really ‘look’ like? Not only is there no color, there’s also no sound: the compression and expansion of air is picked up by the ears, and turned into electrical signals. The brain then presents these signals to us as mellifluous tones and ...
