Machine Learning Resources

Portland Machine Learning Resources

• PDXStartups slack - Join the #machine-learning channel

• Calagator - Portland area events. Many technical and AI/ML related.

• Portland Data Science Group - has applied group projects.

• Jim Tyhurst's list of ML resources - and 'awesome' style list of local meetups and events.

Deep Learning Software

• Keras - high level nn API that runs on top of TensorFlow or Theano. A good place to start.

• TensorFlow - library for distributed numerical computation and data flow graphs.

• PyTorch - Python based framework from Facebook based on Torch.

• mxnet - fast and flexible. Originally from University of Washington and Carnegie Mellon University adopted by AWS and now an Apache incubator project.

• H20 - interesting application with many different algorithms.

Natural Language Processing (NLP) / Natural Language Understanding (NLU)

• Natural Language Toolkit - the leading platform for NLP education and exploration.

• spaCy - newer more production oriented, minimal and opinionated.

• gensim - topic modelling for humans.
