Technology products have changed the way we live, eat, interact, and commute. We shop through Amazon instead of going to physical stores. We order Uber or Lyft ride before leaving our home instead of trying our luck to get a taxi on the street. We use GrubHub to order delivery online. We make new friends through Tinder. We use Airbnb to find a place to stay when traveling. We search on Google when we have questions to ask.What changes our lives the most is the way we interact with one another. People often open their social apps like Facebook, Twitter, or WeChat first thing in the morning before getting out of beds. We often see people on their phones during social events. It is amazing to learn that more than 2.3 billions of people are using Facebook on a daily basis in 2019. Yet, (...)

Let us first understand what medical imaging is before we delve into how deep learning and other similar expert systems can help medical professional such as radiologists in diagnosing their patients.This is how Wikipedia defines Medical Imaging:Medical imaging is the technique and process of creating visual representations of the interior of a body for clinical analysis and medical intervention, as well as visual representation of the function of some organs or tissues (physiology). Medical imaging seeks to reveal internal structures hidden by the skin and bones, as well as to diagnose and treat disease. Medical imaging also establishes a database of normal anatomy and physiology to make it possible to identify abnormalities. Although imaging of removed organs and tissues can be (...)

12 Key Lessons from ML researchers and practitioners

Machine learning algorithms come with the promise of being able to figure out how to perform important tasks by learning from data, i.e., generalizing from examples without being explicitly told what to do. This means that the higher the amount of data, the more ambtious problems can be tackled by these algorithms. However, developing successful machine learning applications requires quite some “black art” that is hard to find in text books or introductory courses on machine learning.I recently stumbled upon a great research paper by Professor Pedro Domingos that puts together lessons learned by machine learning researchers and practitioners.

What is Robotic Process Automation?Simply put, it’s the use of computer programs in the form of software robots, to standardize and automate repeatable business processes.Imagine having a robot sitting on a computer performing the same computer keystrokes and opening the same applications as humans do. While it doesn’t require physical robots, software robots tend to mimic human activities via working with applications the same way a normal person does.With robotic process automation, bots can complete repetitive tasks, which frees up the employees time to work on more revenue-generating tasks for the company. What makes it interesting is that non-technical employees will have the tools needed to make their own software robots that will solve their individual automation (...)
