I was delighted to get an advance copy of Gant Laborde’s “Learning TensorFlow.js” from O’Reilly and privileged to have written the foreword. Gant has done something special with this book. In just 300 pages, he takes you end-to-end, in-depth through everything you need to know from an introduction to AI, understanding tensors, using them in the...

The Covid-19 pandemic has been (hopefully) a once-in-a-lifetime experience. My heart goes out to countries that are still suffering, but I’m super encouraged by the progress we have made in the USA. I have been volunteering regularly at vaccination clinics, and it’s been a privilege to be a part of the solution. I wanted to share some stats tha...

I just discovered this video and had forgotten about it! It’s a fun interview with Doctor Kevin Webster of Imperial College in London, talking about TensorFlow 2. Amongst other things, we discuss my unlikely start in AI, way back in 1992! This was filmed as part of the TensorFlow 2 specialization from Imperial College, which I strongly recomme...

There were so many new announcements for AI and ML developers at Google IO this year. In this video, I’ll share my top 10!. I’m excited with how much the AI and ML ecosystems have grown, and hope these updates will help you solve any future challenges you face. Check it out here: Sunspring was generated by a model called Jetson, and, as...

After a late scratch, they asked me to quickly create a talk for Google IO on getting started with cross-platform mobile Machine Learning. So, one Saturday morning, at a Starbucks in Mercer Island, Washington, I came up with a quick talk on how to do Cross-Platform Computer Vision. It’s a short video – about 12 minutes, but it will cover the bas...

My passion at the moment is cross-platform mobile development, and enabling developers to create Machine Learning applications that run on Android or iOS. With that in mind, my next book due in September is about exactly that! From the publisher: AI is nothing without somewhere to run it. Now that mobile devices have become the primary computi...

Part One: What is Artificial Intelligence? Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the single most overhyped area of technology I have ever encountered. The amount of misinformation and confusion around AI is staggering, so it’s the purpose of this set of tutorials to explain not just what AI is but also what it isn’t. You can ask ten technologists wha...

At Google IO this year, I had many activities, one of which was to teach a workshop in anomaly detection. It uses a novel approach – by training an encoder-decoder architecture with electrocardiogram (EKG) values and exploring the reconstruction error. The logic was that when an autoencoder model gets trained on only good EKG values, then the r...
