Tomorrow (05 Jan) we are holding first offline meeting for this channel members and all the Data Scientists in Paris.

You are kindly welcome to come by Malongo café at 10:00 to chat, share experience and have a coffee with fellow data scientist if you are in Paris these days.

Rachael’s #cheatsheet on choosing #DS library.

A Deep Learning Model to Predict a Diagnosis of Alzheimer Disease by Using 18F-FDG PET of the Brain

Computer Vision can detect Alzheimer’s Disease in brain scans SIX YEARS before a diagnosis. Uses PET scans, which are common & cheaper. 82% specificity at 100% sensitivity. Can pick out signs hard to see with the naked eye.

Plug-and-play differential privacy for your tensorflow code

#GoogleAI has just released a new library for training machine learning models with (differential) privacy for training data.

where you would write tf.train.GradientDescentOptimizer
instead just swap in the DPGradientDescentOptimizer

Valuing Life as an Asset, as a Statistic and at Gunpoint

Ever wondered, how much your life is worth? This is an article about Life as an asset evaluation. It is extremely useful for insuarance companies and as a metric to calculate compensations in case of tragic events, but it is also a key to understand, how valuable (or not) life is.

Math is beautiful.
