Hello guys.
Are there any Machine Learning/Neural Network Experts/Enthusiasts or computational scientists here?
It would be really cool to talk about machine learning with fellow enthusiasts.
I am a sophomore at NSU studying CSE.
This semester I took two courses CSE440 (Artificial Intelligence) and CSE465(Pattern Recognition and Neural Networks).
We are like 1/3rd through our course and so far I have grasped the basics of machine learning.
We coded mostly on octave so far
I implemented gradient descent and used it to optimize "thetas" for linear regression.
Then used optimizers like fminuc for larger data sets for logistic/linear regression.
I also implemented a neural network that classifies digits(1-9) from images. (A Coursera assignment most of the work was already done)
So it would be fair to say I am an absolute novice.
We will be moving to python and use TensorFlow libraries soon.
So I thought of checking out TensorFlow early on.
I was thinking of using the GPU version of TensorFlow.
I have a 1050ti and want to use that since it is supported.
Now what I wish to know is that would it be sufficient( i.e better than CPU will do) in working with med-large sized data?
I don't know the specifics but our Faculty will give us an optional project on Deep Neural Network.
He told us to have at least 8gb of ram (I have 16 so no problem there).
However for the case of my GPU it only has 4gb of vram. What happens if your data surpasses that?
Will the rest of the memory be cached in the system ram then?
Or will I not be able to use my GPU at all in cases like that.
( I can and will look these stuff up. Just would be nice to talk to people in Bangladesh)
