Use of Deep Learning is becoming very difficult if you don't have huge data. We've said it before. Here is a way to extract features from giant models that work with traditional ML. I think of is a condensing the information into more easily digests bits. Great read.
Now a good explanation for the "never enough data to make Deep Learning perform" effect and how to turn NNs trained on truly huge data into feature extractors for use with more traditional ML. Highly recommended article! https://t.co/VIBJr8R1KK
The Universal Recommender v0.7.3 released. Now with cross-recommendations; "viewed this bought that" Use it to help a user find the target of a browsing or search session. https://t.co/E3aujqsP6G
IBM's Watson may get most of the headlines but Ted talkster Lisa Seacat calls out the algorithm inside the Universal Recommender here. https://t.co/x7bjdrrRsX
