How To Install Caffe On Ubuntu

mainThe concept of deep learning is becoming increasingly pervasive. It is a new area of research in machine learning that focuses on learning optimal representations of data. Now what does it mean? In the realm of classical machine learning, we have the build the features first and then the machine learning algorithm will learn how to classify the data based on these features. The problem is that feature-building is a trial-and-error process and we want to avoid manual intervention. This is where deep learning tends to shine! Instead of manually building the features ourselves, we can just let our deep neural networks learn the features and then build a system to classify that data. In this field, people work towards building a set of algorithms that can model abstractions in our data using multilayered neural networks. Caffe is one of the most popular libraries available out there for deep learning. Let’s go ahead and see how to get it up and running on Ubuntu, shall we?   Continue reading “How To Install Caffe On Ubuntu”

How To Install Apache Spark On Ubuntu

1 mainThere’s so much data being generated in today’s world that we need platforms and frameworks that it’s mind boggling. This field of study is called Big Data Analysis. With so much data lying around, often ranging in petabytes and exabytes, we need super powerful systems to process it. Not only that, we need to do it high efficiency. If you try to do it using your regular ways, you will never be able to do anything in time, let alone doing it in real-time. This is where Apache Spark comes into picture. It is an open source big data processing framework that can process massive amounts of data at high speed using cluster computing. Let’s see how we can install it on Ubuntu.   Continue reading “How To Install Apache Spark On Ubuntu”
