Highlights from Machine Translation and Multilinguality in summer 2023

Here are short summaries of the papers I liked the most during the (academic) summer. Also, this time, I am posting both on GitHub pages and on Medium. The preprint from the University of Würzburg presents a recipe for recycling existing models to create a multilingual vision-language model. They start with the English-only language model BLIP-2, which allows images to be a part of its input (the output is always textual). They take the image encoder from this model and […]

How to Sort Unicode Strings Alphabetically in Python

Sorting strings in Python is something that you can almost take for granted if you do it all the time. Yet, it can become surprisingly tricky considering all the edge cases lurking in the vast Unicode standard. Understanding Unicode isn’t an easy feat, so prepare yourself for a whirlwind tour of surprising edge cases and effective ways of dealing with them. Note: In this tutorial, you’ll often use the term Unicode string to mean any string with non-Latin letters and […]

Using Python’s min() and max()

Python’s built-in min() and max() functions come in handy when you need to find the smallest and largest values in an iterable or in a series of regular arguments. Even though these might seem like fairly basic computations, they turn out to have many interesting use cases in real-world programing. You’ll try out some of those use cases here. In this video course, you’ll learn how to: Use Python’s min() and max() to find smallest and largest values in your […]

IITian Innovator Transforms Healthcare with AI-Driven Patient Monitoring

In a bid to address the chronic shortage of healthcare staff and improve patient monitoring, Gaurav Parchani, an IIT Indore graduate, has launched an innovative startup harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence. When entering a hospital, one common issue that stands out is the scarcity of medical personnel, often resulting in critical cases taking precedence while non-emergency procedures are delayed. This staffing shortfall also leads to essential patient readings, such as blood pressure, heart rate, and ECG, being neglected, as […]
