Introduction Levenshtein Distance, also known as Edit Distance, is used to calculate the difference between two strings. In this article, we will learn how to calculate Levenshtein Distance in Python in three different ways along with examples. First, we shall see its implementation in Python from scratch, then cover

As natural language processing (NLP) finds its way from university labs and becomes a crucial element of many user-facing technologies (machine translation, search, language-model-based assistants), people start to get concerned about the ethics of this technology. When people talk about NLP ethics, the main topics are: biases that the models get from training data, replication of toxic behavior found on the Internet, underrepresentation of already underprivileged groups, differences between the technology availability between the global north and global south. Now, […]
Read moreWelcome to AI Frontiers. All right, why don’t we just jump right in. Ece Kamar: Okay. Llorens: Okay. Kamar: Take it over. [MUSIC FADES] Llorens: All right, so I want to start at a place that I think will be close to your heart, and that is with the difference between a model and a system. But let me, let me paint the picture a little bit, right. So machine learning is a process through which we create something called […]
Read moreSpectre and Meltdown are two security vulnerabilities that affect the vast majority of CPUs in use today. CPUs, or central processing units, act as the brains of a computer, directing the functions of its other components. By targeting a feature of the CPU implementation that optimizes performance, attackers could access sensitive data previously considered inaccessible. For example, Spectre exploits speculative execution—an aggressive strategy for increasing processing speed by postponing certain security checks. But it turns out that before the CPU […]

Sometimes you need a Python dictionary that remembers the order of its items. In the past, you had only one tool for solving this specific problem: Python’s OrderedDict. It’s a dictionary subclass specially designed to remember the order of items, which is defined by the insertion order of keys. This changed in Python 3.6. The built-in dict class now keeps its items ordered as well. Because of that, many in the Python community now wonder if OrderedDict is still useful. […]
