Natural Language Processing is Fun! Part 2. In this series, we are diving deeper into creating programs that comprehend human language. In Part 1, we constructed a Natural Language Processing (NLP) pipeline that meticulously parsed English text for grammar and structure. In this installment, we’ll explore text classification — the secret weapon that developers harness … Read more

Computers excel at managing structured data, like what’s found in spreadsheets and databases. However, humans often communicate in natural language, primarily through words, which presents a challenge for computers. In our world, much information exists in unstructured forms, such as raw text in various human languages. This raises a compelling question: how can we enable … Read more

Everyone finds CAPTCHAs, the security measures involving typing text from an image, quite irritating. Initially designed to verify human presence and deter automated access, CAPTCHAs are increasingly susceptible to machine learning’s power. Inspired by Adrian Rosebrock’s book, “Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python,” I explored bypassing a popular WordPress CAPTCHA plug-in using machine learning. … Read more

From the inception of programming, hackers have found ways to exploit software vulnerabilities. While malicious hackers might manipulate program errors to steal data and cause chaos, what about systems powered by advanced deep learning algorithms? Surely, they are invulnerable? Surprisingly, even the most sophisticated neural networks can be easily deceived. Neural Networks vs. Hacking Before … Read more

A little over a year ago, Alec Radford introduced the concept of Deep Convolutional Generative Adversarial Networks (DCGANs), revolutionizing the approach to creating generative models in machine learning. These innovative systems can produce original, photo-realistic images through a framework of two competing deep neural networks. The allure of generative models lies in their potential to … Read more
