What computer for Machine Learning and MLOps
You are new to machine learning and you want to know what kind of computer, either a laptop or a PC you need for working in machine learning. The short answer is that you can buy or use any old banger laptop and you can learn machine learning by using free services like Google Colab. It […]

Visualizing a neural network in 3D with Python, Blender and Tensorflow
I have started recently a new project in which I am trying to visualize a neural network in 3D with Python, Blender and Tensorflow. This is a very interesting challenge and a great way to learn things that I didn’t know I needed to know. For example how to get access to the different layers […]

Convert a photo from 2D to 3D model with color with PIFu
This is a short tutorial on how you can convert and train Pifu to convert a 2D photo to a 3D Model with color. Pifu is the predecessor to PIFuHD. PIFU in theory can be trained to create 3D Models for any type of object, not just humans, but of course, you will need to […]

Google Dataflow Secure Quickstart with Python
In this step-by-step guide I will share the additional steps that I followed to enable Google Dataflow with the least permissions needed, with Google KMS Encryption enabled, and all the necessary service accounts, that one would be expected to employ in a secure production deployment. I will base this guide on the already existing GCP […]

PHORHUM: From a 2D photo to 3D animated model by Google
Google has released a paper on a new state-of-the-art machine learning model, called PHORHUM, that is able to create a 3D model from a single 2D photo, with texture disentangled from the lighting source in the photo. There is only one bad news. Google hasn’t yet released source code or a demo for anyone to […]

Imagen: Text-To-Image AI From Google
Google has taken AI-generated images to a new level with Imagen. Imagen is a new state-of-the-art text-to-image diffusion model capable of generating highly realistic images given text input. It uses a very powerful language model, T5–XXL a language model with 4.6 billion of parameters trained on a huge text-only dataset. This new model is not […]

Google App Engine vs AWS
Google App Engine is a fully managed serverless platform, which requires zero server management to use. It comes with two environments: The standard environment allows an instance to run in the sandbox with supported language, it has limited CPU and memory options without persistent disk attached, moreover it doesn’t support SSH and VPN 🥺 . Sounds pretty disappointing […]

How to resize an image with Tensorflow tf.image.resize()
When dealing with training data, you often need to resize images to a fixed size, according to the architecture of the machine learning model that you want to use. In Tensorflow we can use tf.image.resize() to resize images to different resolutions. The method controls the different algorithms that we can use for resizing. You can […]
