Turning Design Mockups Into Code With Deep Learning
Emil Wallner on January 9, 2018
Within three years deep learning will change front-end development. It will increase prototyping speed and lower the barrier for building software. The field took off last year when Tony Beltramelli introduced the pix2code paper and Airbnb launched…
Benchmarking FloydHub instances
Alessio Gozzoli on December 7, 2017
This post compares all the CPU and GPU instances offered by FloydHub, so that you can choose the right instance type for your training job. Benchmark For our benchmark we decided to use the same tests as used by the Tensorflow project. The…
Checkpointing Tutorial for TensorFlow, Keras, and PyTorch
Alessio Gozzoli on November 21, 2017
This post will demonstrate how to checkpoint your training models on FloydHub so that you can resume your experiments from these saved states. Wait, but why? If you've ever played a video game, you might already understand why checkpoints are useful…
Creating Datasets from Public URLs on FloydHub
Charlie Harrington on November 3, 2017
We're trying to make it easier to discover and use interesting datasets on FloydHub. To that end, we just released an improved file-viewer to help you dig in and explore data directly on FloydHub. For example, here's one of my favorite pups from…
