Attention is a concept that is scientifically studied across multiple disciplines, including psychology, neuroscience, and, more recently, machine learning. While all disciplines may have produced their own definitions for attention, one core quality they can all agree on is that attention is a mechanism for making both biological and artificial neural systems more flexible. In […]
When you work on a machine learning problem related to images, not only do you need to collect some images as training data, but you also need to employ augmentation to create variations in the image. It is especially true for more complex object recognition problems. There are many ways for image augmentation. You may […]
Machine learning is a field of study and is concerned with algorithms that learn from examples. Classification is a task that requires the use of machine learning algorithms that learn how to assign a class label to examples from the problem domain. An easy to understand example is classifying emails as “spam” or “not spam.” […]
An imbalanced classification problem is a problem that involves predicting a class label where the distribution of class labels in the training dataset is skewed. Many real-world classification problems have an imbalanced class distribution, therefore it is important for machine learning practitioners to get familiar with working with these types of problems. In this tutorial, […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, were first described in the 2014 paper by Ian Goodfellow, et al. titled “Generative Adversarial Networks.” Since then, GANs have seen a lot of attention given that they are perhaps one of the most effective techniques for generating large, high-quality synthetic images. As such, a number of books […]
The Cycle Generative adversarial Network, or CycleGAN for short, is a generator model for converting images from one domain to another domain. For example, the model can be used to translate images of horses to images of zebras, or photographs of city landscapes at night to city landscapes during the day. The benefit of the […]
The Pix2Pix GAN is a generator model for performing image-to-image translation trained on paired examples. For example, the model can be used to translate images of daytime to nighttime, or from sketches of products like shoes to photographs of products. The benefit of the Pix2Pix model is that compared to other GANs for conditional image […]
Image-to-image translation is the controlled conversion of a given source image to a target image. An example might be the conversion of black and white photographs to color photographs. Image-to-image translation is a challenging problem and often requires specialized models and loss functions for a given translation task or dataset. The Pix2Pix GAN is a […]
Generative Adversarial Networks With Python Crash Course. Bring Generative Adversarial Networks to Your Project in 7 Days. Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs for short, are a deep learning technique for training generative models. The study and application of GANs are only a few years old, yet the results achieved have been nothing short of remarkable. […]
Generative Adversarial Networks, or GANs, are deep learning architecture generative models that have seen wide success. There are thousands of papers on GANs and many hundreds of named-GANs, that is, models with a defined name that often includes “GAN“, such as DCGAN, as opposed to a minor extension to the method. Given the vast size […]
