SVD

SVD (Singular Value Decomposition) is one of my favorite topics in linear algebra. It's almost magical to factorize any matrix into a product of two orthogonal matrices and a diagonal matrix. Derivation In simple words, any matrix 'A' can be decomposed into a product of 3 matrices : U, ∑ and V,

Short NLP Overview!

Outline * Introduction * Neural Network Modeling * Available resources * References Introduction Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of science sitting at the intersection of computer science, artificial intelligence, and computational linguistics. To put it simply, it gives computers the ability to read, understand and generate text and speech just like we

My New Desktop!

My New Desktop!

If you're into gaming and deep learning, you need to own a GPU. For years I was working with an older GPU (GTX 960M), but I thought it was time to upgrade. But wait, should I get a laptop, a pre-built desktop, or just build my own ? It took me

EfficientNet (V1 & V2) - A smart heuristic

Intuition EfficientNet tries to come up with a smart heuristic to scale a CNN, relating resolution, width, and depth of a CNN. In particular, it tries to answer two key questions: * What should be the best base network * How to scale the base network(a) in an efficient manner EfficientNet

Semantic Segmentation - DeepLab V3+

Semantic Segmentation - DeepLab V3+

Semantic Segmentation Semantic segmentation involves partitioning/marking regions in the image belonging to different objects/classes. Deep learning methods have made a remarkable improvement in this field within the past few years. This short article summarises DeepLab V3+, an elegant extension of DeepLab v3 proposed by the same authors (Chen

Detection/Classification metrics

Detection/Classification metrics

Problem Statement 1. Once we've trained multiple detection/classification models, how to choose the best model ? 2. Once we've chosen the best model, how to choose the optimum operating point (the best threshold) ? Solution There are two metrics which can help us here. If you've come across terms like AP,
