Data Science Articles & Videos

  • Taskonomy: Disentangling Task Transfer Learning
    We proposes a fully computational approach for modeling the structure of space of visual tasks. This is done via finding (first and higher-order) transfer learning dependencies across a dictionary of twenty six 2D, 2.5D, 3D, and semantic tasks in a latent space...
  • Augmented space planning:
    Using procedural generation to automate desk layouts

    We explain @wework's desk layout algorithm in a new paper ... We developed a suite of procedural algorithms for space planning in commercial offices. These algorithms were benchmarked against 13,000 actual offices designed by human architects. The algorithm performed as well as an architect on 77% of offices, and achieved a higher capacity in an additional 6%, all while following a set of space standards...
  • Real-World Reasons To Use GraphQL
    There are a lot of great blog posts that give an overview of GraphQL, or detail why GraphQL is better than REST, but we’re going to talk about why GraphQL worked well for us building a real-world, production app...
