Introducing Xanthus

This post introduces Xanthus - a new open source Deep Learning package built on TensorFlow 2.0 for quickly and easily building state of the art recommendation models in Python.

Engineering Skills for Data Scientists

Fire: Simple CLIs done right

Creating CLIs can help improve accessibility and reuse of your scripts and packages, but they can also be a bit of a pain to set up and maintain. Fire makes building CLIs for your latest ML pipeline a breeze.

Technology

Tracking Monster Jobs with TQDM

TQDM is a tiny Python package that lets you add customisable progress bars to your code. Ideal for some those nasty multi-hour model training jobs.
