Facial Detection in Python with OpenCV

Introduction Facial detection is a powerful and common use-case of Machine Learning. It can be used to automatize manual tasks such as school attendance and law enforcement. In the other hand, it can be used for biometric authorization. In this article, we’ll perform facial detection in Python, using OpenCV. OpenCV OpenCV is one of the most popular computer vision libraries. It was written in C and C++ and also provides support for Python, besides Java and MATLAB. While it’s not […]

Image Classification with Transfer Learning and PyTorch

Introduction Transfer learning is a powerful technique for training deep neural networks that allows one to take knowledge learned about one deep learning problem and apply it to a different, yet similar learning problem. Using transfer learning can dramatically speed up the rate of deployment for an app you are designing, making both the training and implementation of your deep neural network simpler and easier. In this article we’ll go over the theory behind transfer learning and see how to […]

Minimax with Alpha-Beta Pruning in Python

Introduction Way back in the late 1920s John Von Neumann established the main problem in game theory that has remained relevant still today: Players s1, s2, …, sn are playing a given game G. Which moves should player sm play to achieve the best possible outcome? Shortly after, problems of this kind grew into a challenge of great significance for development of one of today’s most popular fields in computer science – artificial intelligence. Some of the greatest accomplishments in […]

Ensemble/Voting Classification in Python with Scikit-Learn

Introduction Ensemble classification models can be powerful machine learning tools capable of achieving excellent performance and generalizing well to new, unseen datasets. The value of an ensemble classifier is that, in joining together the predictions of multiple classifiers, it can correct for errors made by any individual classifier, leading to better accuracy overall. Let’s take a look at the different ensemble classification methods and see how these classifiers can be implemented in Scikit-Learn. What are Ensemble Models in Machine Learning? Credit: Pixabay […]

The Best Machine Learning Libraries in Python

Introduction There is no doubt that neural networks, and machine learning in general, has been one of the hottest topics in tech the past few years or so. It’s easy to see why with all of the really interesting use-cases they solve, like voice recognition, image recognition, or even music composition. So, for this article I decided to compile a list of some of the best Python machine learning libraries and posted them below. In my opinion, Python is one […]

ICML 2020 highlights: A Transformer-based RL agent, causal ML for increased privacy, and more

With over 50 papers from Microsoft accepted at this year’s International Conference on Machine Learning (ICML 2020), a number of which were presented in virtual workshops, Microsoft researchers are in full summer swing when it comes to advancing machine learning in accessibility, privacy, healthcare, and other areas. As Microsoft Partner Research Manager and ICML President John Langford puts it, “ICML is a very broad conference, so its specialty is in some sense ‘all of the above.’” But Langford goes on […]
