  • Speed Up your Keras Sequence Pipeline

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    When using tf.keras.utils.Sequence to generate batches, the data copy overhead between processed can be very high. This leads to worker processes being blocked most of the time, and decline in batch generation. A common solution is the use of shared memory to share data between processes. PyTorch uses it. With Python 3.8, you can use shared_memory…

  • Building Visual Search Engine

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    Ever wonder how Google or Bing finds images similar to your image. The algorithms for generating text based 10 blue-links are very different from finding visually similar or related images. In this article, we will explain one such method to build a visual search engine. We will use the Caltech 101 dataset which contains images of common…

  • LinkedIn Data Science Interview

    Reading Time: < 1 minute

    I recently interviewed for a research engineer (vision) role at LinkedIn. In this role the candidate is expected to work on state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to understand users and content on the platform. In this post, I’ll summarize the questions and the whole interview process. You can find the complete interview here.

  • Mathematical Expectation for Interviews

    Reading Time: 5 minutes

    In this post, I will just solve for expected value of a probabilistic model with as many methods as I can. You can encountered these types of problem in data science and quant interviews. Problem Assume there is a 2×2 grid, as shown in the figure below. You can randomly walk to a neighboring block…
