Boy Scout Rule

In this article at OpenGenus, we will learn about Boy Scout Rule and why its application is vital for effective technical debt management.

As a code base grows over time, the quality of the underlying source code of a system tends to degrade, accumulating technical debt. The Boy Scout Rule in the coding world, "Always leave the code better than you found it" could largely decrease the technical debt. It's that simple, but why do many engineers don't do it?

Gradient clipping in DL

Gradient clipping is a technique commonly used in deep / machine learning, particularly in the training of deep neural networks, to address the issue of exploding gradients.

Exploding gradients occur when the gradients of the loss function with respect to the model's parameters become very large during training. This can lead to numerical instability and make it challenging for the model to converge.

Master Deep Learning with this checklist. This is a free 13 months course.
