I started the Codes of Interest blog back in October 2016 when I was first starting to get into deep learning and computer vision. I was new to Python and many of the ML and CV libraries back then. My goal in building this blog was to share the knowledge in those areas as I learn them myself and to help others out there who are just starting in these exciting fields.
Now, a few years later, I’m happy to see that Codes of Interest has become a place where many like-minded AI enthusiasts learn and interact.
This is one of the best times in history to be an AI enthusiast. In the past few years, we have seen massive development and achievements in deep learning, computer vision, and AI fields in general. AI-enabled devices have now become household items with practical uses. Most importantly, learning to build AI/Deep Learning systems has become easier than ever with the widespread availability of cutting-edge technologies, libraries, and frameworks.
The main focus of this blog would be building practical and engaging computer vision and deep learning systems while learning the concepts behind them. We will focus on technologies such as TensorFlow, Keras, OpenCV, and Dlib, with many others as new technologies become rapidly available.
