Adnan Masood, a Machine Learning Phd's musings on Life, Technology, Research & Development
Learning to write programs stretches your mind, and helps you think better, creates a way of thinking about things that I think is helpful in all domains. -Bill Gates. Chairman, Microsoft I recently had an inquiry from an astronomy-buff friend of mine who wanted to introduce his 3rd and 4th Graders to programming. Following Hanselman's advice of how many…

The fun thing about spending time at MIT is that you always run into interesting things. Couple of days ago, I encountered the MIT Bot submission for NASA - Sample Return Robot Challenge. NASA and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester teamed up for competing in the Sample Return Robot Challenge to demonstrate a robot that…
So after having an awesome Day 1 @ MIT, I was in CSAIL library and met Pedro Ortega, NIPS 2015 Program Manager @adaptiveagents. Celebrity sighting! Today on Day 2, Dr. Jaakkola (Bio) (Personal Webpage) professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science/Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), went over the following . Non-linear classification and regression, kernels Passive aggressive algorithm Overfitting, regularization, generalization Content…
As a follow up on MIT's tackling the challenges of Big Data, I am currently in Boston attending Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Classification (and therefore blogging about it for posterity based on public domain data / papers - nothing posted here is MIT proprietary info to violate any T&C). MIT professional education courses are…
Deep learning architectures are built using multiple levels of non-linear aggregators, for instance neural nets with many hidden layers. In this introductory talk Will Stanton discusses the motivations and principles regarding learning algorithms for deep architectures. Bill provides a primer to neural networks, and deep Learning. He explains how Deep Learning gives some of the best-ever solutions to problems…
The monadic curse is that once someone learns what monads are and how to use them, they lose the ability to explain it to other people. Excellent lecture. Transcript and Monads for Humans
An interesting portrayal of Microservices by Martin Fowler. The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business…
Interesting introduction to Functional Programming by Kelsey Innis.
