Restarting after a delay

• Finished the Coursera deeplearnign.ai spec some time ago: completed courses. It was much less challenging than the “Neural Networks for Machine Learning” course or even the “Machine Learning” course. But very interesting.

• A new graphical card installed: GeForce GTX 1060 6GB and now with Python libraries installed using Conda https://docs.conda.io/en/latest/. I finally have a working GPU setup where training a model is at least 30x faster than on CPU.

• GPU ‘top’-like tool: nvidia-smi

Next steps

• try more models,
• try executing the learning on Colab (free GPU/CPU/TPU ;-))
• hyper parameter search https://github.com/autonomio/talos , https://www.tensorflow.org/tensorboard/r2/hyperparameter_tuning_with_hparams
• analyze missclassified examples
• deploy as a service
• write a better-grid based manual classification tool
• add “search last” and example number to the existing manual classification tool
