Deep Learning Modeling GANs SAS SAS Blogsposted by ODSC Community October 18, 2021

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are one of the newer machine learning algorithms that data scientists are tapping into. When I first heard it, I wondered how can networks be adversarial? I envisioned networks with swords drawn going at it. Close… but I can assure you that... Read more

24 Useful Open Datasets for Natural Language Processing

Modeling NLP/Text Analytics Datasetsposted by Elizabeth Wallace, ODSC October 18, 2021

Natural language processing forms the foundation of innovation in artificial intelligence. We want machines that sound like us, understand us, and take on tasks previously only possible through human interaction. As a result, the company or developer that finally cracks the language code will usher in... Read more
