Recursion in Python
If you’re familiar with functions in Python, then you know that it’s quite common for one function to call another. In Python, it’s also possible for a function to call itself! A function that calls itself is said to be recursive, and the technique of employing a recursive function is called recursion. It may seem peculiar for a function to call itself, but many types of programming problems are best expressed recursively. When you bump up against such a problem, […]

In the vast realm of artificial intelligence, few fields have captivated our imagination and pushed the boundaries of possibility quite like computer vision. At the core of this domain of research and innovation lies the ambition to empower technologies for real-world vision-based systems, enabling machines to take in and respond to visual stimuli with unparalleled precision and sophistication. Through the combination of AI, deep learning, and vast amounts

Python’s raise: Effectively Raising Exceptions in Your Code
In your Python journey, you’ll come across situations where you need to signal that something is going wrong in your code. For example, maybe a file doesn’t exist, a network or database connection fails, or your code gets invalid input. A common approach to tackle these issues is to raise an exception, notifying the user that an error has occurred. That’s what Python’s raise statement is for. Learning about the raise statement allows you to effectively handle errors and exceptional […]

Improving Subseasonal Forecasting with Machine Learning
This content was previously published by Nature Portfolio and Springer Nature Communities on Nature Portfolio Earth and Environment Community. Improving our ability to forecast the weather and climate is of interest to all sectors of the economy and to government agencies from the local to the national level. Weather forecasts zero to ten days ahead and climate forecasts seasons to decades ahead are currently used operationally in decision-making, and the accuracy and reliability of these forecasts has improved consistently in recent […]

How to Make Engaging Programming Videos
Programming videos have become an increasingly popular medium for sharing knowledge and helping the fellow developers on your team. Especially when you’re working remotely, effective communication is vital, and screencasts have emerged as a powerful tool that meets this need. That’s why knowing how to make programming videos is a valuable skill, no matter where you are in your career. Even if you’ve never considered creating video content yourself, creating a screencast can be a great way to enhance written […]
Read moreAccounting for past imaging studies: Enhancing radiology AI and reporting
The use of self-supervision from image-text pairs has been a key enabler in the development of scalable and flexible vision-language AI models in not only general domains but also in biomedical domains such as radiology. The goal in the radiology setting is to produce rich training signals without requiring manual labels so the models can learn to accurately recognize and locate findings in the images and relate them to content in radiology reports. Radiologists use radiology reports to describe imaging […]
