Our picks of the week |
NeurIPS 2019 Stats Ever wondered who got the most papers accepted at NeurIPS. Well, here is your answer: All the stats you (did not) want to know about NeurIPS 2019. Nice blog post by Diego Charrez. Here is the link. |
Fast.ai nbdev launch post Exploratory programming. A concept that finds its applications in the Fast.ai coding mines. Here, nbdev is an in-house framework to use Jupyter Notebooks for everything. Here is the link. |
Fast.ai nbdev tutorial Because the launch post got quite some feedback. Jeremy Howard and friends decided to write a nice tutorial article about nbdev and how to use it. Get me to the tutorial |
Mathematics for Machine Learning A very nice and free (e)book that is worth going through if you have some time at your hands. Written by well-known and respected researchers. Here is the book. |
