Random Neural Networks & Reinforcement Learning
Image by Anita Smith from PixabayIn this experiment, instead of using a premade architecture, I wanted to play around with a neural network architecture that felt more biologically inspired. I hadn’t seen too much modern literature on inhibitory neurons in AI, nor concepts like neuroplasticity, so I went about seeing if I could create an architecture that included some of these … [Read more...] about Random Neural Networks & Reinforcement Learning

How my mother started using CNN for her plants
Photo by veeterzy on UnsplashHer plants were not in good shape; Python, Streamlit, and machine learning came to rescueThe lockdown brought out many skills in people; a few turned towards cooking, a few to musical instruments, and a few tried to grow plants. Our household belongs to the last cohort. While growing up, we had the usual holy basil, aloe, and an occasional marigold … [Read more...] about How my mother started using CNN for her plants
