As Hammond describes, building a neural network using Bonsai has some key differences from the way professionals do it. Currently, you have to choose which tool is right for the problem, a decision that requires experience and knowledge. According to Hammond, Bonsai solves that for you. All you have to do is come up with … Read more
In the first day of this month, Researchers claim to have found evidence that crime can be predicted from facial features. In “Automatic inference about crime using Face Image,”Xiaolin Wu and Xi Zhang describe how they train taxonomists using different machine learning techniques to be able to distinguish images of criminals from those of non-criminals … Read more
