MY BACKGROUND - JASON TOY
my passion is general artificial intelligence - studied math and computer science
generalists, program a little of everything, master of nothing
ruby and rails since 2005; machine learning since 2008
founded a couple of companies: rubynow, socmetrics - using ML and ruby
CEO of filepicker; not much ruby
exploring the intersection of machine learning,art, entrepreneurship
REGRESSION
CLASSIFIER
OTHER ML PROBLEMS
search/ranking
reinforcement learning / realtime learning
dimensionality reduction
grouping/clustering
generative models
TRADITIONAL ML ALGORITHMS
naive bayes
LDA
decision trees
ensemble methods
KNN
SVM
random forest
linear/logistic regression
PCA
DEEP LEARNING VS TRADITIONAL MACHINE LEARNING
mostly automated feature extraction
DEEP LEARNING VS TRADITIONAL MACHINE LEARNING
much better at learning nonlinear relationships
DEEP LEARNING NEURONS
DEEP LEARNING ALGORITHMS
DEEP LEARNING ARCHITECTS
GENERATIVE DEEP MODELStweak-able output w/ tensors
DEEP DREAMING / INCEPTION
]?{;./ΠK;
I ACCIDENTALLY GAVE THE ANIMAL BACK OF MY HEAD , BREATHING DEEPLY . THERE WAS NO DOUBT IN HER EYES , AND I COULD TELL BY THE LOOK ON HIS FACE THAT HE DID N'T APPROVE OF WHAT WAS HAPPENING TO ME . IN FACT , IT MUST HAVE BEEN ONE OF THOSE RARE OCCASIONS , AS WELL AS A PET ANIMAL . HER SCENT FILLED THE AIR . THAT 'S WHAT SHE WAS LOOKING FOR , AND NOW SHE HAD TO STAY AWAKE LONG ENOUGH TO DIG UP THE LEASH
TENSORFLOW AND TENSORS
TENSORS
[ 1.000e+00 ,2.000e+00, 3.000e+00, 4.000e+00, 5.000e+00, 6.000e+00, 7.000e+00 ] #1st order tensor
[[1,123,323,21312,312312],[2,32,12313,123]] #2nd order tensor
nth order tensors
TENSORFLOW IS AN OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE LIBRARY FOR NUMERICAL COMPUTATION USING DATA FLOW GRAPHS
TENSORFLOW HISTORY
2nd generation at Google
initial release
predecessors
~5 releases
slow….getting faster
many research firms groups using it. DeepMind just moved to it
HIGHLEVEL GOALS
simple / works out of the box
GPU / CPU
easy deploy
write once, deploy everywhere
distributed training
TENSORFLOW INTERNALS
DAG
typed: ints, multiple floating points, strings, etc
symbolic
client/master sessions
automatic gradient computation
TENSORFLOW DATAFLOW
TENSORFLOW OPERATIONS

PEOPLE WANT IT
https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/50
70+ comments; 40+ followers
WHY RUBY
ruby community are innovative and creative
ruby,rails, gems,sequel,eventmachine,nokogiri,……
chance for the ruby community to enter the ML/DL era
MACHINE LEARNING AND RUBY NOW
results = `python model_inference.py #{safe_params}`
results = RestClient.get(“http://somatic.io/model/call”,params)
TENSORFLOW + SWIG
SWIG
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
20+ languages
ruby SWIG projects: libSVM, liblinear, any big ones?
GET STARTED
TENSORFLOW.RB
TENSORFLOW.RB
CURRENT STATUS
2-3 months away from stable
port more code
need help with protocol buffers
more tutorials
clean up API to match tensorflowISMs and rubyISMs
more tests
LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTORS
open source! BSD licensed (Tensorflow is Apache licensed)
6 contributors now
great way to do a deep dive into deep learning :)
learn tensorflow internals
