NumPy’s max() and maximum(): Find Extreme Values in Arrays

You’ve now seen examples of all the basic use cases for NumPy’s max() and maximum(), plus a few related functions. Now you’ll investigate some of the more obscure optional parameters to these functions and find out when they can be useful. Reusing Memory When you call a function in Python, a value or object is returned. You can use that result immediately by printing it or writing it to disk, or by feeding it directly into another function as an […]

SQLite and SQLAlchemy in Python: Moving Your Data Beyond Flat Files

All programs process data in one form or another, and many need to be able to save and retrieve that data from one invocation to the next. Python, SQLite, and SQLAlchemy give your programs database functionality, allowing you to store data in a single file without the need for a database server. You can achieve similar results using flat files in any number of formats, including CSV, JSON, XML, and even custom formats. Flat files are often human-readable text files—though […]

Python and TOML: New Best Friends

TOML—Tom’s Obvious Minimal Language—is a reasonably new configuration file format that the Python community has embraced over the last couple of years. TOML plays an essential part in the Python ecosystem. Many of your favorite tools rely on TOML for configuration, and you’ll use pyproject.toml when you build and distribute your own packages. In this tutorial, you’ll learn more about TOML and how you can use it. In particular, you’ll: A new module for TOML parsing is being added to […]

Machine Translation and Multilinguality in May and June 2022

After a while, here is a dump of what I found most interesting on arXiv about machine translation and multilinguality, covering May and June of this year. Google Research published a pre-print of their NAACL paper: SCONES (Single-label Contrastive Objective for Non-Exclusive Sequences). The paper is about a simple trick: they replace softmax with binary classifiers with a sigmoid output and use the sum of binary cross-entropies as their loss function. It gets a slightly better BLEU and BLEURT score […]

Machine Learning Course Notes

Over the last couple of years, I have been sharing lots of educational content as a way to give back to the community. More recently, I decided to open-source all my study notes which include topics like deep learning, machine learning, and natural language processing. The goal of this new project is to share more about my strategy and thought process of how I gain knowledge and practical skills. All the notes are written using Notion which makes it easy […]

AI4Science to empower the fifth paradigm of scientific discovery

Over the coming decade, deep learning looks set to have a transformational impact on the natural sciences. The consequences are potentially far-reaching and could dramatically improve our ability to model and predict natural phenomena over widely varying scales of space and time. Could this capability represent the dawn of a new paradigm of scientific discovery? Jim Gray, a Turing Award winner, and former Microsoft Technical Fellow, characterised the historical evolution of scientific discovery through

Using the Python and Operator

Python has three Boolean operators, or logical operators: and, or, and not. You can use them to check if certain conditions are met before deciding the execution path your programs will follow. In this video course, you’ll learn about the and operator and how to use it in your code. In this video course, you’ll learn how to: Understand the logic behind Python’s and operator Build and understand Boolean and non-Boolean expressions that use the and operator Use the and […]
