Welcome to the Laboratory One Blog. This is a repository of guides, research, and projects.
Our core focuses are:
Follow us as we learn to build better systems and products.
The following is the changelog for our Free-to-Play, Sandbox MMORPG set in a Techno-High-Fantasy world. Learn more about this game in this…
We are building a Free-to-Play, Sandbox MMORPG set in a Techno-High-Fantasy world. We will deliver highly engaging game-play and foster in…
This was originally posted to the Tensorpad Blog Why Current trends seem to indicate that software engineers will increasingly be asked to…
I wrote a short tutorial with Tensorpad to help Machine Learning developers use Cloud GPUs. In it, you’ll build an animal classifier and…
In this blog post we will explore how to make a simple recommendations website. We will use JavaScript on the clientside to get random…
Let’s explore how we can put a machine learning model into production. I’m going to use the 90s pop lyrics generator for this task…
It sucks that the music industry stopped producing new 90s pop songs like ~28 years ago. It’s kind of uncalled for really. Since our music…
In this final installment of our series on indoor agriculture we grow Basil! I’ve been told that it’s very easy to grow. This makes it a…
There is an important technique in deep learning called Transfer Learning. It allows one to fine-tune a pretrained network on new data and…
Let’s explore a very naive method of detecting objects in an image. We will attempt to use an image classifier to detect objects and draw…
In this final installment on Style Transfer using Neural Networks, I will be tuning the implementation from the previous installment. There…
Since the last installment in this Indoor Agriculture series, I’ve assembled the robot and began the testing phase. This phase consisted of…
Following my initial exploration of Image Style Transfer with Machine Learning in part 1 , a number of steps we taken to improve my best…
This second installment on Indoor Agriculture focuses on building an Ultrasonic Fogger system which runs on a schedule. Once again, we will…
In this first installment I will explore Image Style Transfer with Machine Learning. The goal is to generate new anime-style images from…
This mobile application allows users to view YouTube live streams. We’ve wrapped up YouTube’s API to build this Android application with…
This first installment on Indoor Agriculture focuses on building a Grow Light system which runs on a schedule. We will use an Arduino Uno to…
This open-source robot is an example of how one could build a robot which many users can remotely control over the internet. It seeks to…
This post documents my 3D Printer rig which started as a Prusa i3. It has be upgrade with a standalone printing server for managing jobs, a…
This blog post is a relic of my build of Chefbot, a project detailed in Learning Robotics using Python by Lentin Joseph . Chefbot is an…
In this post, we will examine a simple toy Continuous Integration and Deployment system. This system will deploy a static web application to…
