Jupyterlab, matplotlib, dynamic plots – I – relevant backends

When we work with Deep Neural Networks on limited HW-resources we must get an overview over CPU- and VRAM-consumption, training progress, change of metrical variables of our network models, etc. Most of us will probably want to see the development of our system- and model-related variables in a graphical way. All of this requires dynamic plots, which are updated periodically… Read More »Jupyterlab, matplotlib, dynamic plots – I – relevant backends

ResNet basics – II – ResNet V2 architecture

In the 1st post of this series ResNet basics – I – problems of standard CNNs I gave an overview over building blocks of standard Convolutional Neural Networks [CNN]. I also briefly discussed some problems that come up when we try to build really deep networks with multiple stacks of convolutional layers [e.g. Conv1D- or Conv2D-layers of the Keras framework].… Read More »ResNet basics – II – ResNet V2 architecture

ResNet basics – I – problems of standard CNNs

Convolutional Neural Networks [CNNs] do a good job regarding the analysis of image or video data. They extract correlation patterns hidden in the numeric data of our media objects, e.g. images or videos. Thereby, they get an indirect access to (visual) properties of displayed physical objects – like e.g. industry tools, vehicles, human faces, …. But there are also problems… Read More »ResNet basics – I – problems of standard CNNs

Surfaces of n-dimensional ellipsoids – I – quadratic form and matrix equation

Multidimensional ellipsoids are mathematically interesting figures per se. But there is a reason why they sometimes also appear in the context of Machine Learning experiments. One reason is that Multivariate Normal Distributions [MND] often describe the statistical distributions of properties which characterize natural objects we investigate by ML-methods. And the locations of constant probability density of MNDs are surfaces of… Read More »Surfaces of n-dimensional ellipsoids – I – quadratic form and matrix equation
