New Games, New Features — That’s GFN Thursday

We love PC games. The newest titles and the greatest classics. FPS, RPG, grand strategy, squad-based tactics, single-player, multiplayer, MMO — you name it, we love it. There are more than 800 games on GeForce NOW — including 80 of the biggest free-to-play games — streaming straight from the cloud. And thanks to the explosive Read article >

How to sample from Naive Bayes PDF and pass it to a discriminator model?

Hey! Sorry, if this question does not make 100% sense as my
education has not yet reached formal ML classes, but I’ll ask
nonetheless.

I want to make a GAN in tensorflow, but instead of just copy and
pasting someone’s code, I want to truly understand the bits and
parts of it.

From what I know about Naive Bayes, it predicts the distribution
of our original data – but after each iteration how can one sample
from this distribution, and additionally once you take a sample
from this distribution, how can we actually in code pass it to our
discriminator?

Thanks everyone 🙂

My test data seems to be tailing off. Whereas response is as below. Using relu activation function, what am I missing?

Upcoming Webinars: Learn how to use NVIDIA NGC Jupyter Notebook

Image segmentation and recommender system Jupyter notebooks are now available in the NGC catalog. These Jupyter notebooks come with complete instructions on how to train these models using the resources from the NGC catalog.

Image segmentation and recommender system Jupyter notebooks are now available in the NGC catalog. These Jupyter notebooks come with complete instructions on how to train these models using the resources from the NGC catalog

Upcoming Webinars

The NVIDIA NGC team is hosting two webinars with live Q&A to dive into two new Jupyter notebooks available from the NGC catalog. Learn how to use these resources to kickstart your AI journey.

NVIDIA NGC Jupyter Notebook Day: Image Segmentation

February 18 at 9 a.m. PT

Image segmentation deals with placing each pixel of an image into specific classes that share common characteristics. 

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to use a Jupyter notebook containing a pre-trained image segmentation model that can be used to detect defective parts in an industrial application
  • How to refine the model by retraining the model using your own hyperparameters and test it using your own checkpoints

Register now >> 

NVIDIA NGC Jupyter Notebook Day: Recommender System

February 18 at 11 a.m. PT

Recommender systems deal with predicting user preferences for products based on historical behavior or actions and are widely used in online retail, social media, streaming video, music platforms, and more. 

In this session, you’ll learn:

  • How to leverage a Jupyter notebook containing a pre-trained recommender system model that can be used to recommend a movie based on a user’s viewing history
  • How to refine the model by retraining the model using your own hyperparameters and test it using your own checkpoints

Constrain outputs in a regression problem

Hi, everyone.

I am attempting to constrain some outputs of my regression
network, say x, y, z = model(data), where x, y, z are scalars. The
constrain that I want to impose is that when predicting all three
dependent variables, the condition “x + y <=1.0” must be
honored. Given this description, can I implement this in a forward
function?

Thank you!

Tool for Complex Data Labelling Tasks

Hi /r/tensorflow
readers!

We have created a labelling
tool
that can be customized to display all sorts of data models
and tasks. Here are a couple of examples for NLP
and CV.

I hope some of you will find this useful, and if you have any
thoughts I would love to hear your feedback!

Jetson Project of the Month: Blinkr – Blink Detection and Reminder

The project, which runs on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit, monitors the eyes of the user and voices a prompt when their blink rate is less than the recommended rate of 10 blinks per minute.

Thirteen-year-old Adrit Rao, was awarded the Jetson Project of the Month for his Blink Detection and Reminder (Blinkr). The project, which runs on a NVIDIA Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit, monitors the eyes of the user and voices a prompt when their blink rate is less than the recommended rate of 10 blinks per minute. 

Several studies have shown that low eye blinking rate, usually triggered by the use of a computer screen, is the leading cause of computer vision syndrome and other related disorders. To address this problem, Adrit created Blinkr with a simple setup of Jetson Nano 2GB Developer Kit, a webcam (or a Raspberry Pi v2 camera), a speaker and a few other basic peripherals.

The camera monitors the face of the user and feeds the frames to the Jetson Nano. To detect blinking, Adrit uses a 68 point facial landmark pre-trained model available in the Dlib open source library. Eyes are detected in each frame and the eye aspect ratio (EAR) is calculated and used to record the number of blinks over time. When the total blinks in a minute is less than the recommended rate, the speaker voices an alarm urging the user to blink more. 




Blinkr – Introduction video 

Many of us working from home do not have the usual prompts or interruptions during our day to move away from our screens. Tools like Blinkr can help us adopt healthy screen habits. This is a great project to build at home to learn about Jetson and AI, and to protect your eyesight. 

This project earned Adrit his Jetson AI Specialist certificate. We are keeping our appreciative (and healthy) eyes peeled out to see what he builds next. If you’re interested in building your own Blinkr, he has shared the instructions and the code here.
