Why Python Is Great: Subprocess — Running Linux Shell From Python Code.
Python is a brilliant object oriented programming language. In artificial intelligence/deep-learning circles, Python is often referred to as the default language (lingua franca) of artificial intelligence. But, the charm of Python extends way beyond running highly complicated deep-learning code. Python is first and foremost a general purpose programming language. One of the key features of… Continue reading Why Python Is Great: Subprocess — Running Linux Shell From Python Code.
Learning from mistakes – Fixing pygpu attribute error.
I am part of a great AI community in New York. Today was the fourth week of an ongoing effort to share the practical tricks to developing a natural language processing pipe line using deep learning. This effort was borne out of my efforts to engage the community to develop a greater understanding of how… Continue reading Learning from mistakes – Fixing pygpu attribute error.
Hardware for artificial intelligence – My wishlist.
We recently developed an incredible machine learning workstation. It was born out of necessity, when we were developing image recognition algorithms for cancer detection. The idea was so incredibly powerful, that we decided to market it as a product to help developers in implementing artificial intelligence tools. During this launch process, I came across an interesting article… Continue reading Hardware for artificial intelligence – My wishlist.

In the cloud – Geography agnostic enterprise using Google Cloud Platform.
The concept of geography/location agnostic enterprise is very simple. Whether I am in Beijing or Boston, Kent or Kentucky, New Delhi or New York, Silicon Valley or Silicon Wadi, Qatar or Quebec; I should have access to a standard set of tools to run the company. Moving around geographic locations are hard challenge for any enterprise.… Continue reading In the cloud – Geography agnostic enterprise using Google Cloud Platform.
Pi day – Calculate 2017 digits of pi using Python3
Here is a short and elegant code to calculate 2017 digits of pi. The code is implemented in python3. In three lines of very simple python code; we are going to calculate the 2017 digits of pi. from mpmath import mp mp.dps = 2017 print(mp.pi) The output is: 3.141592653589793238462643383279502884197169399375105820974944592307816406286208998628034825342117067982148086513282306647093844609550582231725359408128481117450284102701938521105559644622948954930381964428810975665933446128475648233786783165271201909145648566923460348610454326648213393607260249141273724587006606315588174881520920962829254091715364367892590360011330530548820466521384146951941511609433057270365759591953092186117381932611793105118548074462379962749567351885752724891227938183011949129833673362440656643086021394946395224737190702179860943702770539217176293176752384674818467669405132000568127145263560827785771342757789609173637178721468440901224953430146549585371050792279689258923542019956112129021960864034418159813629774771309960518707211349999998372978049951059731732816096318595024459455346908302642522308253344685035261931188171010003137838752886587533208381420617177669147303598253490428755468731159562863882353787593751957781857780532171226806613001927876611195909216420198938095257201065485863278865936153381827968230301952035301852968995773622599413891249721775283479131515574857242454150695950829533116861727855889075098381754637464939319255060400927701671139009848824012858361603563707660104710181942955596198946767837449448255379774726847104047534646208046684259069491293313677028989152104752162056966024058038150193511253382430035587640247496473263914199272604269922796782354781636009341721641219924586315030286182974555706749838505494588586926995690927210797509302955321165344987202755960236480665499119881834797753566369807426542527862551818417574672890977772793800081647060016145249192173217214772350141441973568548161361157352552133475741849468438523323907394143334547762416862518983569485562099219222184272550254256887671790494601653466804988627232791786085784383827967976681454100953883786360950680064225125205117392984896084128488626945604241965285022210661186306744278622039194945047123713786960956364371917287467764657573962413890865832645995813390478027590099465764078951269 Happy 2017 pi day.

New kid in the block – Homomorphic encryption.
Healthcare data has an important challenge from a cryptography standpoint. It has to be both private and useful. An initial review of these requirements may appear as two completely contradictory elements. Encrypted data using traditional encryption techniques remove the usability factor. In a traditional encryption scheme, unless the end user with the encrypted data has a… Continue reading New kid in the block – Homomorphic encryption.
Virtualization – Matryoshka dolls of computing.
A few weeks back I talked about various open operating systems to efficiently run some of the deep learning and simulation models. I switched back and forth between six different flavors of linux to finally settle with one. This experimentation phase is helpful in the long-run. But, for folks who want to run one particular… Continue reading Virtualization – Matryoshka dolls of computing.
