Book Review: Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2 and Keras
August 4, 2020 by 4 Comments
If you’re a data scientist who has been wanting to break into the deep learning realm, here is a great learning resource that can guide you through this journey. It’s pretty much an all-inclusive resource that includes all the popular methodologies upon which deep learning depends: CNNs, RNNs, RL, GANs, and much more. The glue that makes it all work is represented by the two most popular frameworks for deep learning pratcitioners, TensorFlow and Keras.

The following whitepaper download is a reprint of the recent interview with our friends over at PNY to discuss a variety of topics affecting data scientists conducting work on big data problem domains including how “Big Data” is becoming increasingly accessible with big clusters with disk-based databases, small clusters with in-memory data, single systems with in-CPU-memory data, and single systems with in-GPU-memory data. Answering our inquiries were: Bojan Tunguz, Senior System Software Engineer, NVIDIA and Carl Flygare, NVIDIA Quadro Product Marketing Manager, PNY.
Book Review: Python Machine Learning – Third Edition by Sebastian Raschka, Vahid Mirjalili
February 19, 2020 by Leave a Comment
I had been looking for a good book to recommend to my “Introduction to Data Science” classes at UCLA as a text to use once my class completes … sort of the next step after learning the basics. That’s why I was looking forward to reviewing the new 3rd edition of the widely acclaimed title “Python Machine Learning” by Sebastian Raschka, Vahid Mirjalili. The book is a comprehensive guide to machine learning and deep learning with Python. It acts as both a step-by-step tutorial, and a useful resource you’ll keep coming back to as you fill up your data science toolbox.
insideAI News Guide to Optimized Storage for AI and Deep Learning Workloads
September 10, 2019 by Leave a Comment
This new technology guide from DDN shows how optimized storage has a unique opportunity to become much more than a siloed repository for the deluge of data constantly generated in today’s hyper-connected world, but rather a platform that shares and delivers data to create competitive business value. The intended audience for this important new technology guide includes enterprise thought leaders (CIOs, director level IT, etc.), along with data scientists and data engineers who are a seeking guidance in terms of infrastructure for AI and DL in terms of specialized hardware. The emphasis of the guide is “real world” applications, workloads, and present day challenges.
