How To Kill Ideas: We were asked last week by the Disruptive Innovators Network, 'How long should you spend on an idea?'

How To Kill Ideas: We were asked last week by the Disruptive Innovators Network, 'How long should you spend on an idea?' "In the early days of Bromford Lab we had a 12 WEEKS MAX rule. If we couldn’t get an idea up and running within that time – it should be killed. We soon realised the error of our...

Lift Weight, Not Too Much, Most of the Days. “Greasing the groove, as Tsatsouline explains it, means not working your muscles to the point of failure. A common idea in weightlifting is that you should lift until you can’t do another rep, purposely damaging muscle tissues so they grow back bigger....

A Gentle Introduction to Joint, Marginal, and Conditional Probability: Probability quantifies the uncertainty of the outcomes

A Gentle Introduction to Joint, Marginal, and Conditional Probability: Probability quantifies the uncertainty of the outcomes of a random variable. It is relatively easy to understand and compute the probability for a single variable. Nevertheless, in machine learning, we often have many random variables...

Could deep learning AI be used to screen TIA clinic referral letters? Possibly.

blog post image Could deep learning AI be used to screen TIA clinic referral letters? Possibly. Stroke prevention clinics (TIA or Transient Ischaemic Attack) clinics are an important aspect of urgent care. A TIA is a risk factor for future stroke. Medical treatment needs to be started quickly and surgical options, if...
