I’ve been on a blogging hiatus as the past month has been spent finishing my AI project that generates human-quality Yelp reviews (https://github.com/ajmanser/Yelp) , giving presentations of this project across Silicon Valley, cramming for technical interviews, and then interviewing. Not blogging has definitely been a nagging pain point for me that I could no …
End of Week 3
As I noted in a previous post my brain cells and time on the weekends have been lacking. I just finished the 3rd week of my program at Insight AI, and it's going great. I have been building out my version of a recent research paper generating realistic human (restaurant) reviews, and it works! I …
