Training machine learning models can take up a lot of time if you don’t have the hardware to support it. For instance with neural networks, you need to calculate the addition of every neuron to the total error during the training step. This can result into thousands of calculations per step.

In my previous blog post, I emphasized the importance of gathering data. However, in some cases you might not have any suitable data available. You might have raw data, but perhaps it’s unlabeled and unfit for machine learning. If you don’t have the financial resources to label this data, or you don’t have a product like reCAPTCHA to do [...]

The first part recaps what DDM actually means and where you use it. After that, we show you an example of a flexible custom DDM field type that we created. Finally, the last part of this blog gives [...]

The deadline for the project was at the end of November and our customer was getting anxious near the end of September. We were confident we could pull off the job on time though and decided to try out an [...]
