Initializing Weights for the Convolutional and Fully Connected Layers
You may have noticed that weights for convolutional and fully connected layers in a deep neural network (DNN) are initialized in a specific way. For […]
Object Detection and Classification using R-CNNs
In this post, I’ll describe in detail how R-CNN (Regions with CNN features), a recently introduced deep learning based object detection and classification method works. R-CNN’s […]
Word2Vec Experiments
In this post, I’ll describe some experiments on word2vec, a technique invented by researchers at Google that aims to find compact vector representations for words […]
Understanding Data Parallelism in Machine Learning
In this post, I’ll show how to modify the spiral data set example presented in Karpathy’s post (http://cs231n.github.io/neural-networks-case-study/) to run in a data parallel mode. […]
Building a 2 Layer Network to Classify a Spiral Dataset using Matlab and CNTK
