Absolutely fantastic and mind boggling what humans can achieve with cooperation. Maybe Oga trump can help us extend the mission's termination beyond 2028

I see people here questioning the existence of aliens, with someone even talking about how big the universe is but none of us accounting for one fact why aliens might not exist now which is time. What if the aliens existed before us? We should not forget that the age of humanity is probably around or less than 1 percent of the age of the universe. What if the aliens are gone, may be their own version of China, Russia and the US aren't as stable as us and nuked themselves to death and extinction long before the Neanderthal men? The universe is big yes, but the age of the universe is more frightening. Many civilizations might have existed that we are oblivious to.

dazzlingd:
If u know how endless the universe is, you will know the possibility of aliens existence being true is 99.99%

Substantiate your claim with a sound logic please.

Wow that's cool. Do you mind sharing the hack?

The thing is renting a VM on google cloud is quite expensive if you want faster CPU with more logical cores and high ram, but fortunately google also provides colaboratory an online jupyter-style notebook that gives you 16GB ram, a free nvidia GPU, and a very good CPU but the caveat is that you have to keep interacting with the notebook regularly or else the kernel dies after 90 mins and all your works are gone (very painful when I learned this the hard way).

So the trick is to rent a cheap vm of may be 2GB ram, 2 Core Cpu, and 50GB storage, install GUI to the vm, connect to colaboratory through the cheap VM's SSH and start your training, and finally you open a browser window of the colaboratory notebook on the VM's browser and inject a JavaScript snippet that keeps clicking a button every n minutes there by simulating an active user session. Once the 12 hours active session of the colaboratory notebook expires, you can just rinse and repeat.

Very easy to work with once you understand the language. The major work lies in the text preprocessing.

Okay cool...

ibromodzi:
So what happens if my code throws errors?

Once you are sure you've avoided the occurrence of runtime errors with proper code, most of the time the remaining errors will be out of your control, and once they show you'll have to continue from the last saved checkpoint.

700k for phone wey no come with charger

The 5g antenna on the phone is the reason it is this expensive.

5G antenna dey cost.

Person wey buy am dey waste money, no 5G radio tower dey this country. We never deliver 4G nationwide una dey buy 5G phone.

I think the lidar scanner on it is actually costlier than the 5G antenna.

Abcruz:
Is the virtual machine free or paid? And did you leave the PC on for 26hrs while running the virtual machine?

The vm is paid, but I used a bit of an hack to minimize the price to something around N600 for the whole 26 hours. And no my PC was mostly off during the training but I occasionally login to the vm to check training progress.

Drybones:
Can you shed light on the training?
Does it mean you left your system on for 26hours?

I made use of a virtual machine from google cloud actually. The vm was attached to my google drive and it saves the agent checkpoint every n hours.

ibromodzi:
Great. I haven't used any hugging face library before. I'll be glad if you can recommend some resources on them. I also work with Arabic texts.

I mostly read through their readme file and documentation on github. Here is also a good article. Arabic text really? How do you deal with it's Semitic nature?

olamidedivotee:
yes, very well.
With Python but I'm still using my phone cos no laptop.

Ok. Since you code, you can get a good introduction from the book i mentioned above, another good material is deeplizard's channel on youtube. But like ascertained above you have to code along with your tutors to cement the knowledge. Since you don't have a laptop yet, you can can start with the machine learning book first and use your (android ?) phone to code along (Pydroid on play store can install most of the non deep learning libraries).

Zzor:
also what,i dy come make my madam no catch me say I dy use phone. Na catering school get me this days

Learn very well o. Celibacy ain't good.

olamidedivotee:
I'm very interested in AI i need someone to put me through.

Do you code?

I also use Pytorch for deep learning. I recently trained a neural net model and wrote a utility function that can help eye care specialists (ophthalmologists and optometrist) differentially diagnose certain eye conditions (conjunctivitis and uveitis) in real time. I achieved an accuracy of close to 90% but I still need something higher than that. My ultimate goal is to build a stand alone system where the model can be embedded and used by clinical experts.

Absolutely fantastic... The CNN (?) might even find clues and patterns oblivious to us that might help it identify these issues perfectly.

I also find NLP very interesting and I have developed, debugged, tested and deployed a keyword generating API that extracts important terms from a text. Currently, I'm working on a Chabot using Rasa. I want it to be able to hold reasonably conversations regarding eye health and make tentative diagnoses based on users' intents.

I focus on NLP mainly also, and I think they might be the last nut to crack before we get artificial general intelligence. Like for example GPT-3 is showing some signs it can reason and decode some quiet complex natural language and it understands a statement in multiple languages. I once started a project like that, but the sheer volume of the effort required made me abandon it sharply

Data science as a whole is very interesting but I don't think anyone can go far by just watching YouTube videos and taking some courses online. Personally, I combine PDFs with videos and do a lot of hands-on.

Absolutely. No hands-on coding while learning == Binge-watching Netflix.

Come 2023, the Omoluabi's will respond to the self-sabotaging cancer called Tinubu.

Literally finished this book on a spot. Very fantastic piece.

Zzor:
The mom already called her but she was afraid to pick but she sent a message across apologising and she understands that she's sorry and sober but shame won't let her go there to apologize

Timidness is such a childish attribute... She should man up, talk with the mom and guy to at least know where she stands. Or is she planning celibacy??

Campaign after election. These set of ladies our elders are raising like this So she wants to marry and she no sabi cook? Junk food mama? She is not taking any thing too hard IMO. She should also make out with the guys family exp the mum. Pretty sure the mom would be glad to know about the steps she has taken.

Speak for yourself son!!

Kinglyte56:
Of late I had interest in machine learning and artificial intelligence ...
I am just learning the basics now .....
If possible I wanna code and build a personal ai assistant like that of the Jarvis and I greet everyone in this thread

Quite possible. Mark Z built a Jarvis himself. His source code should be somewhere on github, that will give you some idea about ow to start. GL

BelieverDE:
The head of SuperDataScience is Kirill Eremenko. @Ejiod suggested his Machine Learning course to me on udemy. I suppose I'll have to follow his learning path, if any.

I never liked the idea of using books to learn Machine Learning, but now that you've recommended this book, I'll definitely download it!

Kirill and his team are quite good. Same here too but that book is quite different.

Abcruz:
How did you create those animated photos?

I used obs studio to record the screen, premier pro to edit, then I used an online service to convert the final video to .gif animated image.

Racoon:
Hehehe! In these days of digital technology Nigeria is still carrying paperwork? Simply refile the case again and continue from where the court left it.

Servers go crash my guy.

BelieverDE:
Amazing!

I am a Data Science enthusiast and I really like everything you wrote. Before commencing any online course I usually check Quora and Reddit for reviews. I understand that there is no particular online course that will teach you everything about DS.

Could you please enumerate the courses you took while climbing the ladder of Data Science?

I'd really appreciate. Thanks in anticipation.

Sure. Data science is too broad for a course.

Courses from SuperDataScience on reinforcement learning (2) and one on machine learning helped a lot. The book hands on machine learning too was influential.

Medium.com and towardsdatascience.com blogpost also keeps you updated with new trends.

Predstan:
It’s a neural Net model for object and signage detection. The agent basically will be able to detect the traffic signs and make decisions from there. Like self-driving car. The signs are just the usual American traffic signs; the stop signs, yield signs, traffic lights. The agent will control the speed of a motor to either stop, slow down or run based on its decision through the model from the camera and sensor.
The choice of Arduino and PyBoard is just because that’s what I have and I have been using for some electronic projects.

I get now. Sounds very interesting. I think reinforcement learning could also be applied here.

The Interviewer pressed further,"So you're saying that it was Military officers who ordered peaceful protesters to be shot in lekki?"

Sanwoolu replied; "Yes, they were there. That's what it shows".

This sanwo is a piece of shite! See question see his answer.

Aliligo:
#endsars
or get yourself something to do

Oga, the matters of the heart are important too nah.

Abcruz:
Interesting work you have there I'm also an AI enthusiast. With Tensorflow and keras I have been able to build deep learning models on breast cancer prediction, diabetes prediction and heart disease prediction among other works.

Sounds cool. These are very important areas that can benefit humans greatly.

Eagerly waiting. Hope it performs the suicide dive.

Let us wait for the real photoshopped video. Perhaps it might be discovered that the soldiers were only igniting fireworks to celebrate the endsars protesters.
