Simon created a wonderful project in Processing – a path finder that looks for the shortest path to reach the green cell, avoiding the obstacles. Every time the path finder … Continue reading Shortest path finder in Processing
Activation functions used in machine learning:
Simon has come with an idea of teaching a course as part of his live streams (every two weeks on Thursdays at 17 hrs CET) and developed a website with … Continue reading Simon develops his own programming course ‘Living Code’
Below are the archived versions of Simon’s live streams today. The second part (starting with a genetic algorithm game in Processing/ p5.js) was an emotional roller-coaster, with the OBS software … Continue reading Live Stream 30 November. Speechjs and Citius Invaders.
Simon has done his first video editing work this week, changing his archived live streams from 16 November into two shorter tutorials. Since the YouTube video editor has been deprecated, … Continue reading Simon edits videos
Simon told me today he was ready to start building his own DAE (Denoising Auto Encoder) neural network. He said he would be using a documentation page about a machine … Continue reading DAE neural net and Keras
Simon has been working very hard at making his version of the Citius Invaders game that Siraj Raval presented in Python during Week 9 of his “Math of Intelligence” course. … Continue reading Problem with a Genetic Algorithm Game
Simon was working on a neural networks paper in Jupyter Notebook on Friday evening, but didn’t finish it because the Coding Train live stream started. He says he can no … Continue reading Simon working on a neural networks paper
Simon has already built a Perceptron before, several months ago, while following along with Daniel Sgiffman’s Coding Train channel. This time around, he is writing his own code ad doing … Continue reading Simon building a Perceptron in Processing
There’s a part 3 coming! “Mom, my ClickCharts trial period expired, so I found this Virtual Paradigm Enterprise!” (Simon independently searches for free options to make beautiful diagrams … Continue reading Simon’s bedtime lectures on neural networks
Simon’s second Live Stream today (in two parts, see the archived versions below) was a big success! He fixed the bug in his own Speechjs library (for speech recognition and … Continue reading Simon’s Live Streams (Speechjs and Supershape Morphing)
Simon loves looking at things geometrically. Even when solving word problems, he tends to see them as a graph. And naturally, since he started doing more math related to machine … Continue reading Just another day in graphs
