Building a robot requires knowledge of both hardware and software and if we want that robot to navigate intelligently we also need to apply machine learning and computer vision techniques. Robots have been in development for long time (History of Robots), one of the most well know autonomous robot is…

Reduce your data labeling effort — One of the most common problems NLP (Natural language processing) projects face is the lack of labeled data. Labeling data is expensive, time consuming and tedious. Data Augmentation techniques help us build better models by preventing overfitting and making the models more robust. In this post I will cover how…

Get started with edge AI — The definition of an edge device can vary greatly from application to application, and it includes devices ranging from smartwatches to self-driving cars and everything in between. Currently, the edge devices with the largest numbers, which also have a connection to a network, is likely the smartphone. …

A short post about BERT and NLP projects in 2019 — The BERT paper was released in late 2018, after which in 2019 we saw a lot of activity in the field of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Natural Language Understanding (NLU) from BERT being used in production for search at Google to several other architectures which showed even better results…

Currently, there are more than 100 companies all over the world building ASICs (Application Specific Integrated Circuit) or SOC’s (System on Chip) targeted towards deep learning applications. There is a long list of companies here. In addition to these startup big companies like Google (TPU), Facebook, Amazon (Inferentia), Tesla etc…

The list of RISC-V ISA based boards has been growing rapidly and is now joined by the low cost Longan Nano from Sipeed. This board is good for hobbyists and students who want to use a low cost RISC-V based microcontroller (MCU)for their projects. Longan Nano MCU

The Raspberry Pi Zero family consists of two boards — the Pi Zero and Pi Zero W — both of which have a single-core 1GHz Arm processor, 512 MB RAM and various connectors like HDMI, USB, CSI, etc. The Pi Zero W also packs WiFi and Bluetooth capabilities. The lineup…
