The statistics behind the numbers — When I published my first article on “Towards Data Science” in the summer of 2018, little did I know that my articles would gain more than 1 million views a little more than two years later! Realizing quite recently that my total number of views passed the magic 1 million…

From unstructured data to content based image retrieval — Ever wondered how the Google reverse image search works, which take in an image and returns you the most similar images in a fraction of a second? For humans, evaluating the content of images is fairly straight forward, and determining whether an image contains a car, cat or a house…

My transition from Physics to Data Science — In collaboration with a couple of other companies, I have recently been part of an initiative for creating an online learning program designed to improve the digital literacy of the workforce. In this context, I did an interview/Q&A session on various Data Science related topics a few weeks ago. As…

From graph theory to path optimization — Graph theory might sound like an intimidating and abstract topic to you, so why should you even spend your time reading an article about it? However, although it might not sound very applicable, there are actually an abundance of useful and important applications of graph theory! In this article, I…

A step-by-step tutorial from data import to accuracy evaluation — The following tutorial covers how to set up a state of the art deep learning model for image classification. …

Time series forecasting is an important area of machine learning. It is important because there are so many prediction problems that involve a time component. However, while the time component adds additional information, it also makes time series problems more difficult to handle compared to many other prediction tasks. Time…

Machine learning for Mental State Classification using EEG data — AI that can read your mind This might sound like the plot from a dystopic future of a sci-fi movie. However, with recent progress, this technology is now taking the leap from science fiction to merely science. Autonomous non-invasive detection of brain activity is potentially useful in multiple domains such as human robot interaction and mental…

How to utilize emerging technologies to drive business value. — The hype is real. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) is all over the media, and everyone wants to be involved in the technology race. Progress during the last few years has been absolutely tremendous, and you have probably heard claims such as “AI is the new electricity” and…

Recent advances in AI have been made possible through access to “Big Data” and cheap computing power. But can it go wrong? — Big data is suddenly everywhere. From scarcity and difficulty to find data (and information), we now have a deluge of data. In recent years, the amount of available data has been growing in an exponential pace. This is in turn made possible due to the immense growth in number of…
