hHelicopter Definition: A helicopter (or chopper‚ helo or whirlybird) is a type of rotorcraft in which lift and thrust are supplied by rotors. This allows the helicopter to take off and land vertically‚ to hover‚ and to fly forwards‚ backwards‚ and laterally. These attributes allow helicopters to be used in congested or isolated areas where fixed-wing aircraft would usually not be able to take off or land. The capability to hover efficiently for extended periods of time allows a helicopter to

A Different “Today” Today I implemented a Boltzmann Restricted Machines model to predict movies ratings of users based on their past movies rating. I embarked on this personal project two days ago when I came across the concept in Coursera. To implement the model‚ I studied several research papers and consulted my Data Mining professor. And this is what I frequently do on some of my free days. On other days‚ you would find me immersed within business publications such as Mckinsey Insights to pick
