Whenever there is a new announcement or breakthrough with AI, it always strikes me how out of reach the results would be to replicate for individuals and small organizations. Machine learning algorithms, and especially deep learning with neural networks, are often so computationally expensive that they are infeasible to run without immense computing power. As… Continue reading AI computing requirements
Tax deductions are not free money
So you deducted your loan interest in your taxes. That means the interest was essentially free right? I could not quite figure out the answer to this question in my head recently, so I thought I would do a simple example and share it here, in case it could be useful for someone else. First,… Continue reading Tax deductions are not free money
Reinforcement learning
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
A bank transaction analysis tool for the browser
This graph shows my four most common expense categories during 2018 and how they changed from month to month. It is a screenshot from one of the charts in OTB, a bank transaction analysis tool that I have been working on for a while. 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
