Text Above the Hero Image This website design trend, featuring text above the hero image or video, can look a lot of different ways. In the examples below, you’ll see this range, from images that are still fully visible to those that sneak below the scroll.

10 Cool Pure CSS Scrolling Text Animations

Scrolling text on a website is almost as old as the internet. You may remember the days when marquees with horizontal scrolling text were all the rage, and we (some of us) thought it was one of the coolest things we’d seen on a website. Many years later we have left that, along with a collection of other relatively silly “web tricks”, behind, as technology and web development evolved into what we have to work with today. Now we no longer need Flash or some other bulky, clunky tools or code to make this happen.

Using Transfer Learning with Word Embeddings for Text Classification Tasks | by Manuel Gil | Jul, 2021

When we are working with computer vision tasks, there are some scenarios where the amount of data (images) is small or not enough to reach acceptable performance. In addition, dealing with image data and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) is expensive in terms of computational power.Due to the issues aforementioned, in most cases it is convenient to use a technique called Transfer Learning, which consists of using models trained with millions of images, to improve the performance during the training process. We can implement this technique with Natural Language Processing (NLP) tasks, but instead of using pre-trained CNN models, for text classification, we are going to use pre-trained Word Embeddings.When we have so little data available to learn an appropriate task-specific embedding of ...

How to Use SMS Text Surveys to Learn What Your Customers Want & How to Build an SMS Survey in 5 Easy Steps

It was bound to happen. I made some SMS marketing mistakes being overly aggressive and pushing the boundaries of text message marketing. Why was it “bound to happen”? Well, over the years, I’ve been known to burn marketing channels faster than Usain Bolt runs the 100-meter dash 🏃💨. And when it comes to marketing in general, I tend to subscribe to the “Unless you’re breaking stuff, you’re not moving fast enough” philosophy.
