ALL YOUR BASE ARE BELONG TO US
Physics. Data Science. General Geekery. Probably Coffee.
This is a little intro to using an LSTM model for time series data. It's not in any way a thorough introduction to how LSTMs work, which is pretty complex and far too much info for a short blog like this one... I'm going to demonstrate it using some financial (stock market) data, where I'll …

Research funding in the UK is very transparent. In fact you can access details of every RCUK (Research Councils UK) funded project through their online gateway. Like a lot of UK government data the content is available under the Open Government Licence v3.0, except where otherwise stated. The Newton Fund is part of the UK's …
Web crawling and web scraping are two sides of the same coin. Web scraping is simply extracting information from the internet in an automated fashion. Web crawling is about indexing information on webpages and - normally - using it to access other webpages where the thing you actually want to scrape is located. YouTube is …
Stars spin - and the rate at which they spin has a profound affect on their health. So measuring the rotation of different types of stars is an important pass-time for astronomers who like that kind of thing (i.e. stars). Fortunately stellar rotation is something that can even be measured directly from their time dependent …
Non-linear regression is pretty central to a lot of machine learning applications. However, when you don't know enough/anything about the actual physical parametric dependencies of a function it can be a bit of a show-stopper. But... what if you could predict the value of a function at any point based only on its value at …
Wherein I fail to make Python read medieval Chinese calligraphy correctly, but I learn a lot about Chinese calligraphy and optical character recognition. The Plan It seems sensible that if we can read Chinese in our Jupyter notebook, we should try to translate the writing that's actually on the National Palace Museum exhibits and not …
Tired of reading all those documents everyone keeps sending you? Why not get your Jupyter Notebook to do it for you and condense the information? I'm joking of course... but if say you did want to read pdf documents directly in Python, how would you do it? Recently I had a go at doing just …
Recently I've been thinking about classification again, this time with more of an emphasis on object detection. Even surprising complex and diverse objects can be detected using machine learning algorithms: trees, people, fruit... First off, let's draw a line between detection and recognition. For example, when it comes to people, facial detection is simply telling …
