Beginners Guide To Transformer Models

In our previous post, we presented an introduction to Seq2Seq models – models that take a sequence as an input and produce a sequence for their output. Back in 2014, they revolutionized the field of...

Understanding Seq2Seq Models

Most of the machine learning applications are concerned with processing data such as images or databases – their key characteristic is that they can be “taken in” by a learning model all at once. They don’t have any temporal properties. Today we’ll be talking about a different case – models that deal with data that is sequential by nature, text, and voice being several examples.

The Intuition Behind Variational Autoencoders

When reading about Machine Learning, the majority of the material you’ve encountered is likely concerned with classification problems. What about the other way around when you want to create data with predefined features? Today we’ll be breaking down VAEs and understanding the intuition behind them.

Real-Time Anomaly Detection — A Deep Learning Approach

Pattern recognition is a crucial aspect of modern data analytics. These patterns can be studied to better understand the underlying structure of data and monitor behavior over time. However, there are often rare items or observations that seem to differ significantly from these patterns. These items are called anomalies (or outliers).
