Thank you @foobar8675, good catch. It’s fixed now!

87

@jcatanza i started looking a head to video 8 and am a bit torn on using the fastai v1 library since v2 is coming soon. Do you have any thoughts on that?

88

Notes from the Saturday 1/25/2020 meetup discussing the notebook 3-logreg-nb-imdb_jcat.ipynb

  1. In order to get the notebook to produce the table of accuracies at the end, you have to first install the tabulate package: in a shell terminal window, run the command:
    conda install tabulate

  2. I added a brief discussion of Bayes’ Theorem to the notebook.

89

I think you should press on using the v1 library. My feeling is that familiarizing with v1 will ultimately make it easier to learn v2.

Topic: Introduction to Language Modeling using Deep Learning

Suggested preparation:

  1. Watch video #8 Video playlist is here

  2. Read and work through course notebook #5

In this reworked and annotated version of notebook 5-nn-imdb.ipynb, I

  • Fixed a few minor errors, enabling the notebook to run to completion
  • Implemented a workaround for a bug in fastai's text data API that seems to affect only Windows 10
  • Organized the material into coherent sections
  • Added step-by-step explanations/annotations throughout, indicating where transfer learning comes into play.

Can you share some links for better understanding basics of pytorch…

97

@Shefs0709

I would start with these two resources

This would get you going. Good Luck!! Happy Learning.

98

Thank you sir…:blush:

Has anyone successfully run through the 7-seq2seq-translation.ipynb notebook on
Google Collab even using the Pro version.

I am unable to get the line:

with open(path/‘giga-fren.release2.fixed.en’) as f: en = f.read().split(’\n’)

to work as Collab keeps running out of memory.

100

never mind - reading it line by line helped. figured it out.

I’m having trouble understanding something in 2-svd-nmf-topic-modeling. It says:

But if we had one vector with the relative frequency of each vocabulary word out of the total word count, and one with the average number of words per document, then that outer product would be as close as we can get.

The phrase “average number of words per document” seems wrong to me. I interpret that as:

a = [count_across_all_docs(word) / total_word_count for word in vocab]
b = [total_word_count / len(docs) for doc in docs]

It seems to me that it should be:

a = [count_across_all_docs(word) / total_word_count for word in vocab]
b = [word_count(doc) for doc in docs]

Is my understanding correct? If so, I would change the text “average number of words per document” to just “number of words per document”.

Or am I misunderstanding something?
