THE EXPERT
The Lazy Programmer is a data scientist, big data engineer, and full stack software engineer. For his master’s thesis he worked on brain-computer interfaces using machine learning. These assist non-verbal and non-mobile persons to communicate with their family and caregivers.
He has worked in online advertising and digital media as both a data scientist and big data engineer, and built various high-throughput web services around said data. He has created new big data pipelines using Hadoop/Pig/MapReduce, and created machine learning models to predict click-through rate, news feed recommender systems using linear regression, Bayesian Bandits, and collaborative filtering and validated the results using A/B testing.
He has taught undergraduate and graduate students in data science, statistics, machine learning, algorithms, calculus, computer graphics, and physics for students attending universities such as Columbia University, NYU, Humber College, and The New School.
Multiple businesses have benefitted from his web programming expertise. He does all the backend (server), frontend (HTML/JS/CSS), and operations/deployment work. Some of the technologies he has used are: Python, Ruby/Rails, PHP, Bootstrap, jQuery (Javascript), Backbone, and Angular. For storage/databases he has used MySQL, Postgres, Redis, MongoDB, and more.
KEY FEATURES
In this course, you’ll dig deep into deep learning, discussing principal components analysis and a popular nonlinear dimensionality reduction technique known as t-distributed stochastic neighbor embedding (t-SNE). From there you’ll learn about a special type of unsupervised neural network called the autoencoder, understanding how to link many together to get a better performance out of deep neural networks.
