Quick Bits: Using Dropout layers in convolutional neural networks

Short advice on why and how to use Dropout layers in convolutional neural networks

Software Design Patterns: The builder pattern

The builder design pattern makes it easier to create objects with multiple parameters

In this post, we will explore how to leverage this extremely useful design pattern

Building a performant heap (priority queue): A deep dive

Priority queues are one of the data structures that any software engineer must learn how to use.

In this post, we will build a performant heap, and visualize each of its operations through animations.

Create a ML classification model with PyTorch

One of the most common tasks in Machine Learning is classification: Creating a model that, after being trained with a dataset, it can label specific examples of data into one or more categories.

In this post, we will use PyTorch -one of the most popular ML tools- to create and train a simple classification model using neural networks.
