Exploratory data analysis (EDA), pioneered by John Tukey, set a foundation for the field of data science. The key idea of EDA is that the first and most important step in any project based on data is to look at the data. By summarizing and visualizing the data, you can gain valuable intuition and understanding of the p... | ['Exploratory Data Analysis'] |
Understanding the factors that influence the MIA
Let’s start by studying the MIA on the standard MNIST dataset. This is the Hello World! of machine learning, a very simple problem to solve. We train the target model with 10 epochs on a simple convolutional neural network:

Okay, following the 80/20 rule we did 80% of the progress and spend 20% of the time. Sweet! We did not write a line of code yet, but we know what to do, and we know where to do it.
Every application starts with a task. The task contains the requirements you want to implement. It documents the code you are going to wri... | ['Development', 'Education', 'Programming', 'Personal Development', 'It'] |

I open the lid.
I pour them out into a pile.
I begin to sort through them.
The edge pieces first.
I look for the structure,

Like boxing, writing is a dance of the familiar and the unexpected. Using the right mix of articles such as “a” and “the” is useful for staying on rhythm while waiting for just the right moment to strike and knock out your reader’s expectations.
Tactical use of the 3rd article, “an,” provides a powerful punch. Less co... | ['Humor', 'English', 'Grammar', 'Authors', 'Writing'] |

How to practice UI deliberately and become a better designer
Practicing UI is not a bad thing, however it’s worth remembering that UI is one part of a much larger process and by going through the full design process, you’ll reach the UI stage with more context and can make better decisions as a result.

When you think of meditation, what comes to mind? Probably something along the lines of “I really should be trying not to think right about now.” Well what if I were to tell you that the whole point of meditation is actually to keep thinking — not to stop thinking?
