Some (opinionated) themes and highlights from this year’s NIPS conference:
In many introductory to image recognition tasks, the famous MNIST data set is typically used. However, there are some issues with this data:1. It is too easy. For example, a simple MLP model can achieve 99% accuracy, and a 2-layer CNN can achieve 99% a...

Being both statistician and machine learning practitioner, I have always been interested in combining the predictive power of (black box) machine learning algorithms and the interpretability of statistical models.I thought the only way to combine predi...

I did my first steps in deep learning by taking the deep learning course at Udacity.Deep learning is a hot topic. Deep neural networks can classify images, describe scenes, translate text and do so much more. It's great that Google and Udacity offer th...

Yesterday, the very best AI (artificial intelligence) had trouble beating a novice human chess player. Today, the very best human player has enormous difficulty beating the best AI. Tomorrow, the very best human player will never beat any AI. However, ...
