Are we on the cusp of an ‘AI winter’?
The last decade was a big one for artificial intelligence but researchers in the field believe that the industry is about to enter a new phase.
A successful Git branching model
In this post I present the development model that I’ve introduced for some of my projects (both at work and private) about a year ago, and which has turned out to be very successful. I’ve been meaning to write about it for a while now,...
AI ‘outperforms’ doctors diagnosing breast cancer
Artificial intelligence is more accurate than doctors in diagnosing breast cancer from mammograms, a study in the journal Nature suggests.
