Artificial Intelligence – Jamal J8 Ahmed https://j8ahmed.com Full Stack Developer Blog Thu, 15 Oct 2020 05:20:34 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.4 https://j8ahmed.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/logo_icon-150x150.png Artificial Intelligence – Jamal J8 Ahmed https://j8ahmed.com 32 32 R2 Day 0-4: Break Down an RNN Update https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/15/r2-day-0-4-break-down-an-rnn-update/ Thu, 15 Oct 2020 05:20:30 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=122 I am back for another round of the 100 Days of Code Challenge. I recently completed the challenge for the first time. I wrote a 100 Days Of Code Review covering the highs and lows of my journey through the challenge. The biggest take away was that I am not done and I have started round two. I left off my last challenge working on understanding how a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) works.

Day 98: You Should Always Breakdown Code https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/08/day-98-you-should-always-breakdown-code/ Thu, 08 Oct 2020 04:57:18 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=92 A few days ago I was trying to breakdown some diagrams but was left with a lot of unanswered questions. The diagram was modelling a vanilla Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). It was a great exercise to help me understand what was going on inside the RNN but it left me wanting specific answers. Today, through breaking down the code of an example RNN I got those answers. First of all – the questions...

Day 96: Neural Network Produces MJ Lyrics https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/06/day-96-neural-network-produces-mj-lyrics/ Tue, 06 Oct 2020 04:37:38 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=77 So I have been working through a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) that can predict any text. So of course I thought why not give it some famous lyrics and see if it can produce a cool new song (the lyrics at least). The RNN was written by Andrej Karpathy in Python. It was shown as part of his Stanford lecture on RNNs which I am currently studying. Do I understand everything that is going on here?

Day 95: RNN Diagrams Compared to Code https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/05/day-95-rnn-diagrams-compared-to-code/ https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/05/day-95-rnn-diagrams-compared-to-code/#comments Mon, 05 Oct 2020 04:02:04 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=68 Today was a solid day of work on learning Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). I drew some diagrams, took some notes, and asked a lot of questions about how the current example is structured. The current example I am working on is a character prediction RNN where, at each time step ‘t’ it should predict the next character in the word/sentence. So here are some of my questions: I made a reasonable...

Day 93: A Neural Net Inside a Neural Net https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/03/day-93-a-neural-net-inside-a-neural-net/ Sat, 03 Oct 2020 03:07:46 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=63 I am back working through the Stanford Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) lecture from Andrej Karpathy. I’ve been taking a lot of notes and the gears in my brain have been turning. One slide stood out today. Initially I thought that the ‘Recurrent’ part in RNNs referred to the continuous tweaking of predictions based on new input and what was previously predicted in the sequence. Plot twist...

Day 92: University is Still Valuable? https://j8ahmed.com/2020/10/02/day-92-university-is-still-valuable/ Fri, 02 Oct 2020 04:35:38 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=55 After searching online for more resources on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) I stopped to reconsider why I wanted more resources. A few days ago I had found what I believed to be the ‘Diamond’ of lectures on RNNs. So why did I need more than that? I had planned to thoroughly study the material presented in the lecture but somehow I lost my own direction. Anyways, I got back to watching that...

Day 90: Recurrent Neural Network Basics https://j8ahmed.com/2020/09/30/day-90-recurrent-neural-network-basics/ Wed, 30 Sep 2020 04:18:00 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=43 I’m finally back to what I want to focus on. How to build a great “Rock Paper Scissors” Bot for my freeCodeCamp project. This has been the longest I have ever spent on a freeCodeCamp certification project. I have failed many times but I think I am finally on the right track. I guess I am failing forward and making progress. Now, about the Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs). I am only vaguely...

Day 89: Neural Network Revision https://j8ahmed.com/2020/09/29/day-89-neural-network-revision/ Tue, 29 Sep 2020 03:46:07 +0000 https://j8ahmed.com/?p=35 Today was a confidence booster for sure. I have been seriously studying Artificial Intelligence and Neural Networks for about a month now. I took a few days off to design and build my blog but now I’m back. I had intended to get back to studying Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) but when I started to look at the material I felt a bit out of it. Almost like I had forgotten the basics. So I went back...
