What is TensorFlow?

TensorFlow is a popular open-source Python-based machine learning platform built by Google. It is widely used for training deep learning models and has many benefits over other similar platforms, such as Numpy. For example, TensorFlow automatically computes gradients, allowing developers to save time and effort. It also offers flexible deployment

Gradient Optimization in Neural Networks

Gradient optimization is a crucial technique in the training of neural networks, which are a type of machine learning algorithm. In this article, we will define what a neural network is and describe the different ways data can be represented in machine learning. We will also provide a brief overview

What is Deep Learning?

What is Deep Learning?

Like me, you may have started to see a larger number of mentions of terms like "Deep Learning", "Machine Learning" and "Artificial Intelligence" over the past few years. The last year in particular, has witnessed a pretty profound acceleration of new releases and breakthroughs in the space. While visually interesting,

YC 2022 in Africa

Y Combinator has changed dramatically over the past few years. In part driven by the macro changes in the economy, we are seeing fundamentally different types of companies join every cohort, with greater diversity in location and in type of company. For example, in the W2019 cohort, the following are

The Network Union - A Review

The network union represents the antecedent to the network state, the projected future evolution of internet and the role it plays in the society. As a concept, it's defined as a cohesive social union that has three main components: * A leader, with clear legitimacy * A mission-driven purpose * Internal infrastructure and

Systems Thinking - Part 1

Systems Thinking - Part 1

I just recently finished reading a book called Thinking in Systems: A Primer by Donella Meadows. It's not a new book by any stretch - the book is over 10 years old. But I found myself struggling to answer a simple question: Why haven't I heard about this before? Now
