Robot factory

I attended and presented a talk at DevConf 2018. I gave my talk “Neural Networks: A Primer” at the Johannesburg and Cape Town events. This is a summary of my experience at the conference.

Recent work has shown that state-of-the-art models are highly vulnerable to adversarial perturbations of the input. We propose cowboy, an approach to detecting and defending against adversarial attacks by using both the discriminator and generator of a GAN trained on the same dataset. We show that the discriminator consistently scores the adversarial samples lower than the real samples across multiple attacks and datasets. We provide empirical evidence that adversarial samples lie outside of ...

The objective of this task is to get acquainted with image and scene categorization. Initially, we try to extract the image features, prepare a classifier using the training samples, and then assess the classifier on the test set. Later, we considered pre-trained AlexNet and ResNet models, and fine-tuned and applied them on the considered dataset.

In search of a less anxious, more meaningful, and hopefully happier and successful life, I decided to record my behavior and habits for an entire year. I called it LifeOps. It came from an idea for a system that is aware of your goals and behaviors. The system would provide recommendations and suggestions to better achieve those goals, build positive habits, and be more successful. The idea is that behaviors that are seemingly unrelated to goals still impact them — and we don’t even notice...
