Using Recurrent Neural Networks in a Sentiment Analysis taskImage by AuthorThis is the second article in a series dedicated to Deep Learning, a group of Machine Learning methods that has its roots dating back to the 1940’s. Deep Learning gained attention in the last decades for its groundbreaking applications in areas like image classification, speech recognition, and machine translation.The first article focused on the MultiLayer Perceptron. Stay tuned if you’d like to see different Deep Learning algorithms explained…

Neural Network (NN) is a black box for so many people. We know that it works, but we don’t understand how it works. This article will demystify this belief by working on some examples to show how a neural network really works.If some terms are not so clear in this article, I have already written two more articles to cover the real basics: article 1 and article 2.In this first example, let us consider a simple case where we have a dataset of 3 features, a target variable and just one training example (in reality we can…

How deep learning could revolutionise the identification of leukocytes on blood smearsImage by Colin Behrens from PixabayThis article was written in collaboration with Mathieu Sarrat and Laleh Ravanbod.In this article, we will do a little bit of biology and explore how deep learning can help to classify blood cells. The diagnosis of many pathologies, such as infectious diseases, leukaemia or other haematological disorders rely on the classification of subtypes of white blood cells, a.k.a. leukocytes. Several biological…

For those looking for major news about Windows 11 at Microsoft Build, bad news, you're out of luck. But if you want to see new AI-based hardware for developers designed to serve as a new compute workload that mixes a local system and the cloud, there's a lot to unpack.At the annual developer conference, which is being held virtually for the third year in a row, Microsoft is preparing a world beyond just the CPU, but also NPUs (neural processing units) and, of course, cloud computing. The company is discussing what it…

There are many convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures. Those architectures differ in how the layers are structured, the elements used in each layer, and how they are designed. This affects the speed and the accuracy of the model which will help to perform various tasks. The following are some of the common CNN architectures. The word "common" is referring to pre-trained weights which are fine-tuned by deep learning libraries such as Keras, TensorFlow, Fastai, and so on (Karim, 2019). AlexNet  This architecture…

"Are you even listening to me?"It's a question that discouraged parents often throw at their distracted teenagers, and the truthful answer is probably, "No."It's hard to really blame them. New research on adolescent brains suggests the reaction we have to certain voices naturally shifts with time, making our mother's voice feel less valuable.  When scanning the brains of children, those 12 years and under showed an explosive neural response to their mother's voice, activating reward centers and emotion-processing centers…

Meta's chief executive, Mark Zuckerberg, on Wednesday teased a new smart glasses project with EssilorLuxottica, posting a photo of the eyewear company's chairman sporting a prototype of a neural interface wristband — designed for directing other devices."Here Leonardo is using a prototype of our neural interface EMG (electromyography) wristband that will eventually let you control your glasses and other devices," Zuckerberg said in a post on Facebook, referring to EssilorLuxottica's chairman, Leonardo Del Vecchio. He…
