Doing AI without breaking the bank: yours, or the planet’s

A 2018 study by OpenAI showed that the amount of compute power needed to train state-of-the-art AI models was doubling every 3.4 months. Such exponential growth translated into an astounding 300,000x-fold

Moteur de recommandation : dois-je utiliser un CPU ou un GPU ?

Dans un monde dominé par "la data", les GPU sont le hardware de référence pour le deep learning. Mais qu’en est-il des tâches "simples" ? Dans le cas un moteur de recommandation un GPU est-il pertinente?

Active Learning, part 2: the Practice

This blog post is the continuation of "Active Learning, part 1: the Theory", with a focus on how to apply the said theory to an image classification task with PyTorch.

Active Learning, part 1: the Theory

Active learning is still a niche approach in machine learning, but that is bound to change. After all, active learning provides solutions to not one, but two challenging problems that have been poisoning the data scientists' lives. Those are, of course, the data: its (a) quantity and (b) quality.

Semi-Supervised Learning with GANs: a Tale of Cats and Dogs

Semi-supervised machine learning is a solution when labeled data is scarce. In the article we introduce a semi-supervised Generative Adversarial Network for image classification. Read on to find out how to get a 20% increase in accuracy when distinguishing cats and dogs with only 100 labeled images!

Discover how networks can learn from one another using unlabelled data, why you should think before you prune, and whether you can make a network forget what it saw.

Fresh from the arXiv: Oct 21 to 25

Learn how Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) can help you when you do not have enough labelled data for your supervised machine learning problem, and find out what is good about a bad GAN.
