Software 2.0
I sometimes see people refer to neural networks as just “another tool in your machine learning toolbox”. They have some pros and cons, they work here or there, and sometimes you can use them to win Kaggle competitions. Unfortunately, this interpretation completely misses the forest for the trees. Neural networks are not just another classifier, they represent the beginning of a fundamental shift in how we write software. They are Software 2.0...

Deep Learning is Eating Software
When I had a drink with Andrej Karpathy a couple of weeks ago, we got to talking about where we thought machine learning was going over the next few years. Andrej threw out the phrase “Software 2.0”, and I was instantly jealous because it captured the process I see happening every day across hundreds of projects. I held my tongue until he got his blog post out there, but now I want to expand my thoughts on this too...

Gaussian Distributions are Soap Bubbles
This post is just a quick note on some of the pitfalls we encounter when dealing with high-dimensional problems, even when working with something as simple as a Gaussian distribution...

Understanding Hinton’s Capsule Networks. Part I: Intuition.
Last week, Geoffrey Hinton and his team published two papers that introduced a completely new type of neural network based on so-called capsules. In addition to that, the team published an algorithm, called dynamic routing between capsules, that allows to train such a network. In this post, I will explain why this new architecture is so important, as well as intuition behind it. In the following posts I will dive into technical details...
