  • Jul 25, 2016 Language modeling a billion words
    Noise contrastive estimation is used to train a multi-GPU recurrent neural network language model on the Google billion words dataset. Image</img>
  • Jun 1, 2016 Deep Fun with OpenCV and Torch
    In this post, we'll have some fun with OpenCV 3.0 + Torch to build live demos of Age & Gender Classification, NeuralStyle, NeuralTalk and live Image classification. Image</img>
  • Apr 30, 2016 Dueling Deep Q-Networks
    Deep Q-networks have been a great step forward in the field of reinforcement learning, achieving superhuman performance on the domain of Atari 2600 video games. In this post we explain how they work, and discuss some of the developments since Google DeepMind's publication in Nature - particularly the dueling DQN. Image</img>
  • Feb 4, 2016 Training and investigating Residual Nets
    In this blog post we implement Deep Residual Networks (ResNets) and investigate ResNets from a model-selection and optimization perspective. We also discuss multi-GPU optimizations and engineering best-practices in training ResNets. We finally compare ResNets to GoogleNet and VGG networks. Image</img>
  • Nov 13, 2015 Generating Faces with Torch
    In this blog post we implement a Generative Adversarial network (GAN) and train it to output images of human faces. GANs are notoriously hard to train, and we explore a handful of tricks to stabilize/speed up convergence. Moreover, we combine GANs with a variational autoencoder to arrive at an encoder/decoder architecture capable of producing interesting images! Image</img>
  • Sep 21, 2015 Recurrent Model of Visual Attention
    Visual Attention models have recently had success in object detection and image captioning. It is especially interesting to see the models have a human-like attention. In this post, we discuss our implementation of the recurrent attention model, which involves some Reinforcement learning, along with insights and code. Image</img>
  • Sep 7, 2015 The power of Spatial Transformer Networks
    Spatial Transformers are an exciting new learnable layer that can be plugged into ConvNets. We show that using these layers in a ConvNet gets us to state of the art accuracy with a significantly smaller network. We also explore and visualize the learning that happens in the transform layers. Image</img>
  • Jul 30, 2015 92.45% on CIFAR-10 in Torch
    CIFAR-10 is a popular vision dataset for trying out new ideas. We show that using a simple combination of Batch Normalization and a VGG-like convnet architecture, one can get a competitive baseline on the dataset. Image</img>
