Create a Superhero Name Generator with TensorFlow
In this guided project, we are going to create a neural network and train it on a small dataset of superhero names to learn to generate similar names. The dataset has over 9000 names of superheroes, supervillains and other fictional characters from a number of different comic books, TV shows and movies. Text generation is a common natural language processing task. We will create a character level language model that will predict the next character for a given input sequence. In order to get a new predicted superhero name, we will need to give our model a seed input - this can be a single character or a sequence of characters, and the model will then generate the next character that it predicts should after the input sequence. This character is then added to the seed input to create a new input, which is then used again to generate the next character, and so on. You will need prior programming experience in Python. Some experience with TensorFlow is recommended. This is a practical, hands on guided project for learners who already have theoretical understanding of Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, and optimization algorithms like gradient descent but want to understand how to use the TensorFlow to start performing natural language processing tasks like text classification or text generation. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.

Kit básico (para evitar los errores más frecuentes) de finanzas
Cambia tu percepción de las finanzas personales y evita ser víctima del abuso financiero y de tus propios sesgos conductuales. En el ámbito de las finanzas personales más importante que conocer cómo se calcula la prima de una opción o cómo se negocia en el mercado Forex es, por ejemplo, saber confeccionar un presupuesto familiar y sobre todo tener la voluntad de utilizarlo. En muchos casos esa falta de voluntad va relacionada con otros sesgos, como valorar de forma inconsistente recompensas a corto plazo respecto a recompensas a largo plazo (descuento hiperbólico) o aplazar indefinidamente decisiones sobre aspectos que inciden en tu equilibrio financiero (procrastinación). Aprender a reconocer y modificar estos sesgos facilitará tu empoderamiento financiero y evitará que cometas errores habituales o seas víctima fácil de abusos financieros.
