I keep running into the same problem when I train neural networks: my model learns something, but how do I actually measure whether it is learning the right thing? The loss function is the answer to that question. It is…
I’ve parsed more text files than I can count over the years – logs, configs, CSV exports, API responses saved to disk. The job is always the same: open the file, read the content, turn raw text into something my…
I have been working with text data for years, and I keep coming back to the same tool whenever I need to find or transform strings in Python. That tool is the re module. It is one of those things…
I remember the first time I tried to read a machine learning paper and felt completely lost-not because of the concepts, but because of all the Greek symbols scattered throughout the equations. Pi, Sigma, Alpha, Beta… it felt like a…
Pandas makes moving data around straightforward, and ORC has become a reliable choice for analytical workloads. It sits in the same space as Parquet, but ORC offers better compression and solid type preservation. Writing a Pandas DataFrame to ORC takes…
I keep coming back to encryption whenever I need to secure API keys, store sensitive config, or send data between services. Python makes this surprisingly approachable, and in this guide I’ll walk through building an encryption program from scratch. We’ll…
Large Language Models(LLMs) have been in the tech news for quite some time and every day, we learn about new advancements in this field. These models are being used in finance, management, content creation, and analysis. While these perform well…
In the previous post, I covered the installation and usage of Ollama and the basic functionalities of an LLM with interactions via CLI. However, that left me wondering, is that all we can do with these language models? Are there…
The past few weeks have been exciting in the GenAI space with Apple launching its open-source LLM called OpenELM, which can be used locally on devices rather than on the cloud. Other organizations have joined the race to launch their…
This is a technology-driven era where AI is ruling organizations across the world. AI is a technology that everyone should be familiar with regardless of their occupation. For the last four years, we have been hearing about advancements in this…
