Reading for curiosity, not completion

Learning from recreational research

Recreating AlexNet from scratch in (old) Keras and understanding the math behind convolutions and pooling.

Are you disciplined if someone has to supervise you?

Right now, this is a home for my presentation on the motivation behind self supervised learning for pretraining computer vision models. The philosophy will follow soon...

Why we seem to lose interest in things over time?

We like new things. We like a new start. A fresh beginning gives us a chance to put everything else aside and lets us only focus on things ahead of us - the bright future. Being an amateur at anything...
