Building an Assignment Algorithm - Episode 3 / 3 by Josh Warren

Scott Logic

We will look at the last piece of the puzzle - slot sorting, which can make a substantial difference to the outcome of our algorithm. Then we will wrap up - looking at how all the elements of the algorithm discussed in this series come together. You can find the first episode here , and the second episode here.

Building an Assignment Algorithm - Episode 2 / 3 by Josh Warren

Scott Logic

Last year, we were given the task to create a conference talk-assignment-algorithm, for our company’s internal conferences. In the first blog , we explored how to assign talks in a single time slot, which is really the bedrock of the algorithm. Capturing these nuances in an algorithm however is easier said than done.

Building an Assignment Algorithm - Episode 1 / 3 by Josh Warren

Scott Logic

Our most interesting mission, in my opinion, was to design and build an algorithm that assigned talks to attendees according to their choices. This algorithm would save organisers the time, human error and brain power required to ensure all attendees are fairly allocated. And how can we do this over the course of multiple slots?

PyTorch Introduction — Training a Computer Vision Algorithm

DareData

With its capabilities of efficiently training deep learning models (with GPU-ready features), it has become a machine learning engineer and data scientist’s best friend when it comes to train complex neural network algorithms. In this blog post, we are finally going to bring out the big guns and train our first computer vision algorithm.
