Compressing deep learning models: rewinding (Ep.105)

As a continuation of the previous episode in this one I cover the topic about compressing deep learning models and explain another simple yet fantastic approach that can lead to much smaller models that still perform as good as the original one. Don't fo...

Compressing deep learning models: distillation (Ep.104)

Using large deep learning models on limited hardware or edge devices is definitely prohibitive. There are methods to compress large models by orders of magnitude and maintain similar accuracy during inference. In this episode I explain one of the first m...

Why average can get your predictions very wrong (ep. 102)

Whenever people reason about probability of events, they have the tendency to consider average values between two extremes. In this episode I explain why such a way of approximating is wrong and dangerous, with a numerical example. We are moving our comm...

Activate deep learning neurons faster with Dynamic RELU (ep. 101)

In this episode I briefly explain the concept behind activation functions in deep learning. One of the most widely used activation function is the rectified linear unit (ReLU). While there are several flavors of ReLU in the literature, in this episode I ...

WARNING!! Neural networks can memorize secrets (ep. 100)

One of the best features of neural networks and machine learning models is to memorize patterns from training data and apply those to unseen observations. That's where the magic is. However, there are scenarios in which the same machine learning models l...

Don’t be naive with data anonymization (Ep. 98)

Masking, obfuscating, stripping, shuffling. All the above techniques try to do one simple thing: keeping the data private while sharing it with third parties. Unfortunately, they are not the silver bullet to confidentiality. All the players in the synthe...
