I’ve just discovered an incredibly cool project on Github: DeOldify, which uses deep learning to automatically colorize old black & white photos. It’s not perfect, but what it’s able to do is pretty amazing, and improving rapidly. In addition to ninja-level coding, author Jason Antic (@citnaj on Twitter) does a terrific job writing up how…

I was pleased to see that The Azure team has now made Jupyter Notebooks available for free at https://notebooks.azure.com. Here, in a simple “Hello World” application, I’ve used the platform to…

King County’s Restaurant Inspection Grades, which is based upon the average of red-card violations in the past four inspections I’m exploring the Python stack for data analysis and machine learning. I know I’m late to the party, but have only recently discovered the impressive Jupyter Notebook (formerly IPython) data analysis platform and community. It makes…
I’ve been dusting off my machine learning/data-science skills by diving into Python, which has become a lingua franca (along with R) of the data analysis world. Python’s libraries for data analysis and visualization are really superb and can make quick work of complex data analysis tasks. Sentiment Analysis Today, it’s possible to use computers to…
