AI computing requirements

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

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

Generating music with deep learning

Automatic, machine-generated music has been a small interest of mine for some time now. A few days ago, I tried out a deep learning approach for generating music… and failed miserably. Here’s the story about my efforts so far, and how computational complexity killed the post-rock. The spark of an idea When Photo Amaze was… Continue reading Generating music with deep learning
