Progress follows sigmoid curves, appearing linear from distance
By
–
Progress is neither linear nor exponential, it's a series of sigmoids (which ends up looking linear when you zoom out)

Fast Progress and Phase Transitions: The Inevitable Cycle of Diminishing Returns
By
–
The flip side of very fast progress is that it's typically happening due to a phase transition, and it will inevitably be followed by a period of diminishing returns (until the next phase transition)

TFData Pipeline Performance and Functional Composition Showcase
By
–
This sort of unusual dataset makes a great showcase for the power of TFData 🙂 All-functional chaining, filters operations, super readable, etc. And you get something ultra-performant that compiles to parallel C++ (no Python at all at runtime) Here's my randomized pipeline…

End-to-end ML pipeline with Keras U-Net and TFData implementation
By
–
The model is pretty weak right now, but the end-to-end pipeline works. It trains on the whole dataset (a bit of a challenge given the memory constrained and the fact that streaming isn't an option!) and makes a submission. It uses TFData for the pipeline and a Keras U-Net.

New Kaggle Competition: Reading Carbonized Papyrii from Pompeii

I just wrote up a quick notebook for the new Kaggle competition on "reading" carbonized papyrii from Pompeii via x-ray 3D scans. Really fun topic 🙂

Parameters Storage: Understanding Models Beyond Traditional Databases
By
–
Only the parameters. The data isn't stored (though that distinction isn't that important). In that sense it's more like a regression curve than a dict. It is not an exact superset of a RDBMS.

Neural Networks as Interpolative Databases with Natural Language Interfaces
By
–
You can retrieve not just what was seen at training time, but arbitrary combinations of it. It's an interpolative database and program store, with a natural language interface.
