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
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.
Simon has worked really hard for several days on his first machine learning community contribution! He has created this mini-series about building a game of Make 24 with Google’s Teachable … Continue reading Make 24 with Teachable Machine in p5, ml5.
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 just created a decision tree library, called “Decision”, that is helpful in building decision trees/forests (Machine Learning). He has also tried performing unit tests for the first time, … Continue reading Simon’s Decision Tree Library
This magical time of the year, Simon’s craziest, most daring dreams come true! First, his guru from the New York University Daniel Shiffman sends Simon his book and the words … Continue reading Magic around New Year’s Eve
Simon has started building neural networks in Python! For the moment, he has succeeded in making two working neural nets (a Perceptron and a Feed Forward neural net). He used … Continue reading The Neural Nets are here!
Simon has prepared this implementation of “K-Means Clustering” in Processing as a gift for Daniel Shiffman, who is plainning to talk about this Machine Learning model in one of his … Continue reading Simon explains K Means Clustering
Activation functions used in machine learning:
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
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
This is one of Simon’s most enchanting and challenging projects so far: working on his own little AIs. As I’ve mentioned before, when it comes to discussing AI, Simon is … Continue reading Simon’s own little neural network
