What my deep model doesn't know...
.. and what you should know about those models
The Model Complexity Myth
An oft-repeated rule of thumb in any sort of statistical model fitting is "you can't fit a model with more parameters than data points". This idea appears to be as wide-spread as it is incorrect.
10 keys to successful machine learning for developers
Machine learning can bring tremendous value to the applications you build, but beware the bearers of false gifts
Would an artificial intelligence “grow old”?
Hanson's law says that software tends to become more and more inflexible and fragile with time, until it needs to be replaced. Likewise our brains grow older and lose their capacities over time. Would that apply to AI too?
