Azure: Grids, Hubs, Busses, Topics, and Queues… Oh My!

Messaging between application components and devices is why engineers invented computer networks. The ultimate computer network is the Internet, which has practically connected all the world’s devices to a single network where any one device can send a message to another device.

Data Augmentation

My previous post demonstrated how to use transfer learning to build a model that with just 300 training images can classify photos of three different types of Arctic wildlife with 95% accuracy.

Transfer Learning

My post introducing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used a dataset with photos of Arctic foxes, polar bears, and walruses to train a CNN to recognize Artic wildlife.

Pretrained CNNs

Given a set of images with a relatively high degree of separation between classes, it is perfectly feasible to train a CNN to classify those images on a typical laptop or PC.

Text Classification with Neural Networks

It’s not difficult to use Scikit-learn to build machine-learning models that analyze text for sentiment, identify spam e-mails, and classify textual data in other ways.
