In mid-September, Simon spent a couple days learning how to build a Feed Forward Neural Network, together with a friend. It all started after the friend shared a cool business … Continue reading On Machine Learning and Self-Directed Learning
Thanks to the lock-down, Simon’s got new friends. For a little over a month now, he has been part of exciting daily discussions, challenging coding sessions and just playing together … Continue reading New Friends. New Horizons.
A little over a month ago, Simon picked up neural networks again (something he had tried a while ago but couldn’t grasp intuitively). He started the Artificial Neural Networks course … Continue reading Math for Neural Networks and Calculus Fundamentals via Brilliant.org
December was all about computer science and machine learning. Simon endlessly watched Welch Labs fantastic but freakishly challenging series Learning to See and even showed me all the 15 episodes, … Continue reading Learning to See. On Machine Learning and learning in general.
Is there an equation for intelligence? Yes. It’s F = T ∇ Sτ. Prior to a World Science Scholars live session on November 25, Simon had been asked to watch … Continue reading A Universal Formula for Intelligence
This one’s back from mid-October, forgot to post here. Simon created a random number generator that generates a frequency, and then picks it back up. Then, it calculates the error … Continue reading Simon’s Random Number Generator
Repl.it has published a cool interview with Simon! It was interesting how Simon struggling to answer some of the more general questions gave me another glimpse into his beautiful mind … Continue reading Interview with Simon on Repl.it
On Saturday morning, Simon didn’t go to the SAT examination location, although we had registered him to try taking the SAT (with great difficulties, because he is so young). In … Continue reading What Simon did instead of taking the SAT on Saturday
Simon has been completely carried away by Wolfram Mathematica. He keeps starting new projects, just to try something out. After working on his Knot Theory book for days, and making … Continue reading Domain Coloring with Complex Functions in Wolfram Mathematica
Simon was watching Daniel Shiffman’s live coding lesson on Wednesday, and when fluid dynamics and Navier-Stokes equations came up (describing the motion of fluid in substances and used to model … Continue reading Fluid Dynamics: Laughing and Crying
The video below is part of Daniel Shiffman’s livestream hosted by GROW Le Tank in Paris on 6 January 2019 about KNN, machine learning, transfer learning and image recognition. Daniel … Continue reading Simon took part in a Coding Train livestream in Paris!
Today is one of the most beautiful days in Simon’s life: NYU Associate Professor and the creator of Coding Train Daniel Shiffman has been Simon’s guarding angel, role model and … Continue reading Simon and Daniel Shiffman
