Developments in AI & ML are happening at break neck speed. Hardly a day goes without hearing about a new development in these field. It is difficult to stay on top of these developments.
This was one of the main reasons behind launching AVBytes and the response from community has been phenomenal.
The past week saw some intriguing developments in machine learning and deep learning. Stanford released a list of all its NLP course projects for 2018 (it’s a goldmine of knowledge), the Google Research team unveiled its deep neural network to extract audio by looking at a person’s face, a R package was released to deal with anomalies in time series, and many other developments happened this week which we have covered under the AVBytes umbrella.
