I have been looking into a machine learning technique called reinforcement learning (RL) lately. This was on my TODO for a while, and I must say, this field is incredibly exciting! I played around with some OpenAI Gym environments and re-implemented two RL algorithms mostly based on code I found from other authors. After spending… Continue reading Reinforcement learning

OTB was created to fulfill my need for seeing what expense… Continue reading A bank transaction analysis tool for the browser
Hello World is a Dream
Generating song lyrics using neural networks… that sounds cool! Those were my thoughts on an evening in the recent past, so I started experimenting with the idea. I decided to name the neural network that came out of this project Gene Lyrica One, a very AI-sounding name (it is “the year of AI” after all).… Continue reading Hello World is a Dream
Is it Mila?
One of the great things about the Internet is that people create all sorts of silly, but interesting, stuff. I was recently fascinated by a deep learning project where an app can classify images as “hotdog” or “not hotdog”. The project was itself inspired by a fictional app that appears in HBO’s show Silicon Valley,… Continue reading Is it Mila?

Being a developer in a position far removed from academia, I am often confronted with the question of whether my university degree was worth the effort or not. Or to put it more mildly: would I be where I am today without it. I usually arrive at the same conclusion: yes, it was definitely worth… Continue reading University is what you make of it
