Yusuke Sugomori

Yusuke Sugomori is a creative technologist with a background in information engineering. When he was a graduate school student, he cofounded Gunosy with his colleagues, which uses machine learning and web-based data mining to determine individual users' respective interests and provides an optimized selection of daily news items based on those interests. This algorithm-based app has gained a lot of attention since its release and now has more than 10 million users. The company has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange since April 28, 2015. In 2013, Sugomori joined Dentsu, the largest advertising company in Japan based on nonconsolidated gross profit in 2014, where he carried out a wide variety of digital advertising, smartphone app development, and big data analysis. He was also featured as one of eight "new generation" creators by the Japanese magazine Web Designing. In April 2016, he joined a medical start-up as cofounder and CTO.

Implementing from scratch versus a library/framework


We implemented the machine learning algorithms of neural networks in Chapter 2, Algorithms for Machine Learning – Preparing for Deep Learning, and many deep learning algorithms from scratch in Chapter 3, Deep Belief Nets and Stacked Denoising Autoencoders and Chapter 4, Dropout and Convolutional Neural Networks. Of course, we can apply our own code to practical applications with some customizations, but we have to be careful when we want to utilize them because we can't deny the possibility that they might cause several problems in the future. What could they be? Here are the possible situations:

  • The code we wrote has some missing parameters for better optimization because we implemented just the essence of the algorithms for simplicity and so you better understand the concepts. While you can still train and optimize the model with them, you could get higher precision rates by adding another parameter of your own implementation.

  • As mentioned...
