The big story doing out there that google is giving away free GPU (read: computing power). This tilts the way we do Data Science, instantly, making more powerful Deep Learning & their cousins Deep Belief Network more accessible. Till now, it has been a headache (& lots of heartache) to work on complex NLP/image processing problems with only RAM or limited GPU capacity. This is a game changer.

Having said that, like all Data Science stuff, one more environment means one more thing that needs to be setup. And, with setting up anything it goings to throw a lot errors. So, here is something that will help get started right away without having to break your head why something is not working.

I am keeping the article short and simple so, you dont have to wait reading and copying each line of code. But get started right away.

PS: You will need to have signed up the competition to get the dataset related to that. Instead you get kaggle dataset. Follow the https://www.kaggle.com/docs/api to download any kaggle dataset.
