It was (oh my) almost half a year ago. Having a full time on-site takes its toll I guess. Anyway, I am really excited about this release as it opens a whole new variety of possibilities for future development. This...

Those are usually experiments with parameter tuning - you change something and see the result. Although configs can be more powerful if made like feature flags, when setting some values can change ...

This was a release full of updates. Most of them retained compatibility with v0.12 but some of them were breaking. One of the examples are metrics. They underwent a serious change, which became the basis an...

And the idea of this overview came to me when reading another article’s introductory part with definitions of the central term - interpretability. I noticed that there are differen...

Back then I haven’t decided on my master thesis topic, so it wasn’t the option. The topic I specialized on previously was not quiet a challenge for me, I was somewhat tired of image smoothing topic (for the interes...

It is named Cascade. ML engineering library for fast-paced ML development, management of metadata and artifacts. I write this to make reader familiar with Cascade as a project, to make first attempt to build community, find people that may be interested in the usage...

It is not surprising due to minimum effort that needed from user to use those systems along with the minimum amount of special devices needed. The main ...

There exists for example dataset smoothing in statistics, which generalizes the concept of smoothing images to smoothing datasets. However, the task is similar – to capture general pattern in data. If we would try to formulate the task of image smoothing more precisely, we... Tue, 22 Sep 2020 03:00:00 +0300 https://ilia-moiseev.com/posts/en/2020/09/22/review-of-image-smoothing-algorithms.html
