I recently started an AI-focused educational newsletter, that already has over 125,000 subscribers. TheSequence is a no-BS (meaning no hype, no news etc) ML-oriented newsletter that takes 5 minutes to read. The goal is to keep you up to date with machine learning projects, research papers and concepts. Please give it a try by subscribing below:

Some of the best inspiration for modern machine learning(ML) architectures can be found in the work of technology incumbents like Facebook, Uber, Airbnb, LinkedIn and several others. This shouldn’t come as a surprise given that these companies are exposed to some of the most complex ML scenarios in the current market. In the past, architectures such as Uber’s Michelangelo or Airbnb’s Bighead have become reference points for modern ML solutions. Last week, Shopify joined this group by disclosing some details about the platform powering its ML workflows.
