How logistic regression turns a weighted sum into a probability: the sigmoid, log loss, odds ratios, thresholds, imbalance and scikit-learn code.
How to read and choose VM instance types on AWS, GCP and Azure: families, memory ratios, CPU architectures, burstable credits, local disks and rightsizing.
Build a convolutional variational autoencoder in PyTorch: data, encoder, decoder, loss, KL warm-up, evaluation, sampling and checkpoints.
How linear regression predicts numbers: the model, least squares, gradient descent, scikit-learn code, the assumptions that matter and when to regularize.
EC2, Compute Engine and Azure VMs side by side: naming, families, disks, maintenance, stop billing, Spot, discounts and SLAs, and how to choose.
Learning paths
Three series that build on each other: start with the cloud, meet the machines that learn, then watch them create.
Cloud computing
Foundations of the cloud and hands-on tours of AWS, Google Cloud and Azure — from your first VM to multi-cloud strategy.
AI & machine learning
How machines learn: the history of AI, supervised and unsupervised learning, model training and the data behind it all.
Generative AI
Transformers, GANs, VAEs and GPT — what generative AI is, how it works, and how the cloud providers put it to work.
