Neural Architecture Search

by Ankit Sachan • September 27, 2018

Neural network architecture design is one of the key hyperparameters in solving problems using deep learning and computer vision. Various neural networks are compared on two key factors i.e. accuracy and computational requirement. In general, as we aim to design more accurate neural networks, the computational requirement increases. In this post, we shall learn about […]

Choosing a Deep Learning Framework: Tensorflow or Pytorch?

by Ankit Sachan • May 29, 2018

One of my friends is the founder and Chief data scientist at a very successful deep learning startup. 2017 was a good year for his startup with funding and increasing adoption. However, on a Thursday evening last year, my friend was very frustrated and disappointed. The framework on which they had built everything in last […]

Object Detection using Single Shot Multibox Detector

by koustubh • January 2, 2018

In a previous post, we covered various methods of object detection using deep learning. In this blog, I will cover Single Shot Multibox Detector in more details. SSD is one of the most popular object detection algorithms due to its ease of implementation and good accuracy vs computation required ratio. Work proposed by Christian Szegedy […]
