ServiceLB has some limitations that one may want to alleviate.

As deep learning models grow, trying to get a finer and finer grasp of reality, the number of parameters composing them increased, making training more and more expensive.

Music production for guitar has a lot of options on Linux.

SymPy is a lightweight symbolic mathematics library for Python under the 3-clause BSD license that can be used either as a library or in an interactive environment.

Understanding what makes a software Free (as in freedom) has been going on since the beginning of the Free Software movement in the 80’s (at least).

As deep learning models get better at representing human language, telling whether a text was written by a human being or a deep learning model becomes harder and harder.

Deep learning have made dramatic improvements over the last decades.

For artificial intelligence (AI) transparency and to better shape upcoming policies, we need to better understand the AI’s output.

Unfortunately, human errors are bound to happen.

The accuracy of a model is often criticized for not being informative enough to understand its performance trade offs.

Transformers are giant robots coming from Cybertron.

The situation where an unskilled user can enjoy a well-working computer does only last so long.1 Either the user becomes good at maintaining the computer, or it will stop working correctly.

Biometric systems such as fingerprint readers or facial recognition may be appealing, but they have drawbacks worth mentioning.

If you want to distance yourself from the craziness of the world around and happen to be a computer geek, only a few things are more satisfying than blasting hordes of demons on Doom.

As Artificial Intelligence is solving increasingly hard problems, it’s becoming more and more complex.

A Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) often uses ordered sequences as inputs.

Software being more and more used to get metrics and insights for critical areas of our societies such as our healthcare system, crime recidivism risk assessment, job application review or loan approval, the question of algorithms fairness is becoming more

Wanting to brush up my PyTorch skills, I’ve started to follow this tutorial.

There’s a lot of guides explaining how to protect your online privacy, but none of them tell why they exist in the first place.

Despite what the bad media are saying, computers haven’t understood human language (yet).

This procedure has been tested on Fedora 29, on a HP laptop with this graphical card: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile (rev a1) The commands have to be run as the root user.

With its recent gain in popularity, a lot of things have been called “Artificial Intelligence”.

Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) is used in many Deep Learning models as an algorithm to optimize the parameters (the weights of each layer).

As Deep learning is becoming more and more popular, there is an ongoing debate on whether it’s possible to create Deep Learning applications with a Free Software license.

This procedure has been tested on Fedora 28, on a HP laptop with this graphical card: NVIDIA Corporation GP107M GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile (rev a1).

If we have to choose between a convenient system and a secure one, we often pick the former rather than the latter.

We should not think that programming is complicated.
