Recently, I have heard more and more people mention how they use Poetry for their virtual environments and package management, so……

Q1 of 2024 in review: How I used the “12 week year” for studying ML
I’m the first to admit that most productivity techniques don’t work for me. I read about them, watch videos on YouTube, and sometimes I even start applying them (looking at you, Getting Things Done, with your dozen lists), but they never properly integrate into my daily life. In January this year, I gave productivity advice……
Intro to Scene Text Recognition – Guide to Image-to-Text Conversion
Recognizing text in a photo – something we’re quite good at, but neural networks struggle quite a bit with it. While OCR (Optical Character Recognition) (OCR Wikipedia) is a fairly well-known concept, the very similar Scene Text Recognition (STR) problem is not talked about as much. It’s always easier to show than to explain, so……

My To-Want List before the End of the Year 2023
Way too often we are stressed out by long To-Do-lists and forget to be excited about what’s coming up. This list is a collection of things I want to see and do, people I want to meet up with and things to learn I’m interested in – before the end of the year 2023. I……
Keras Core: Keras AND PyTorch?! A first look at the new Keras (3.0)
TensorFlow vs PyTorch was one of THE debates of the last decade or so among deep learning practitioners. Personally, I ended up in the PyTorch camp, but whenever I talked to TensorFlow people, their main argument was, “But Keras is so convenient!” PyTorch itself has had PyTorch Lightning for a few years now. Although it……
Machine Learning Study Goals – April 2023: Transformer paper & Outlier Detection with Deep Learning
Last month I took a month off from setting study goals and I made basically zero progress on my studies. Admittedly it was also deadline month at work, so time and energy was rare. No matter the reasons, this month I’m back to sharing my goals online to hold myself accountable and to inspire you……
