According to McKinsey, AI will create an estimated $13 trillion of GDP growth between now and 2030. As a comparison, the GDP of the entire United States of America was around 19 trillion in 2017. Leading AI scientists, like Andrew Ng, describe AI as the fourth industrial revolution or „the new electricity“. AI is undoubtedly... Continue Reading →

Machine Learning Yearning is about structuring the development of machine learning projects. The book contains practical insights that are difficult to find somewhere else, in a format that is easy to share with teammates and collaborators. Most technical AI courses will explain to you how the different ML algorithms work under the hood, but this... Continue Reading →

This moment has been a long time coming. The technology behind speech recognition has been in development for over half a century, going through several periods of intense promise — and disappointment. So what changed to make ASR viable in commercial applications? And what exactly could these systems accomplish, long before any of us had heard of... Continue Reading →

Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) is a valuable operation to tackle sequence problems where timing is variable, like Speech and Handwriting recognition. Without CTC, you would need an aligned dataset, which in the case of Speech Recognition, would mean that every character of a transcription, would need to be aligned to its exact location in the...

Logistic Regression is one of the most used Machine Learning algorithms for binary classification. It is a simple Algorithm that you can use as a performance baseline, it is easy to implement and it will do well enough in many tasks. Therefore every Machine Learning engineer should be familiar with its concepts. The building block... Continue Reading →

Using the right evaluation metrics for your classification system is crucial. Otherwise, you could fall into the trap of thinking that your model performs well but in reality, it doesn't. In this post, you will learn why it is trickier to evaluate classifiers, why a high classification accuracy is in most cases not as desirable... Continue Reading →

The concepts of Linear Algebra are crucial for understanding the theory behind Machine Learning, especially for Deep Learning. It gives you a better intuition for how algorithms really work under the hood, which enables you to make better decisions. So if you really want to be a professional in this field, you will not come around mastering some...
