Like Simplified Whitening, Local Response Normalization. Here is a great article on the same where I drew my inspiration from. But I wanted to see for myself, how the image turns out after being normalized. ... Read more

Why specialized hardware is important for Machine Learning?Cores of a CPU are far more versatile than a GPU coreOne may ask, why a GPU is needed? ... Read more
