Issue #134 – A Targeted Attack on Black-Box Neural MT

10 Jun21 Issue #134 – A Targeted Attack on Black-Box Neural MT in Robustness, The Neural MT Weekly Author: Dr. Karin Sim, Machine Translation Scientist @ Iconic Introduction Last week we looked at how neural machine translation (NMT) systems are naturally susceptible to gender bias. In today’s blog post we look at the vulnerability of an NMT system to targeted attacks, which could result in unsolicited or harmful translations. Specifically we report on work by Xu et al., 2021, which […]

An open protocol for secure real-time exchange of large datasets

Delta Sharing Delta Sharing is an open protocol for secure real-time exchange of large datasets, which enables organizations to share data in real time regardless of which computing platforms they use. It is a simple REST protocol that securely shares access to part of a cloud dataset and leverages modern cloud storage systems, such as S3, ADLS, or GCS, to reliably transfer data. With Delta Sharing, a user accessing shared data can directly connect to it through pandas, Tableau, Apache […]

An in-progress web scraping project built with Python

New to Streaming Scraper An in-progress web scraping project built with Python, R, and SQL. A web scraping project that retrieves TV and movie data from two sources, then transforms and stores data in a MySQL database. Data are retrieved from two different data sources: What’s on Netflix (WON) and Rotten Tomatoes (RT). RT data are cleaned and transformed with Python, while WON data are cleaned and transformed with R. All data are piped into a MySQL database, then retrieved […]

8-piece command-line puzzle game Written in python

Eight Puzzle CLI 8-piece command-line puzzle game developed for the Artificial Intelligence discipline. Written in python, this project aims to apply the studied concepts and implement a simple intelligent agent that can solve the game. Project execution Dependencies Execution Automatic agents Two automatic agents are implemented that use two “brute force” search algorithms: Breadth-first Search Algorithm – BFS Width search, graph/tree search algorithm where the exploration of all neighboring vertices is prioritized before traversing to the next depth, until a […]

Correct python indentation in Visual Studio Code

Python Indent Correct python indentation in Visual Studio Code. See the extension on the VSCode Marketplace and its source code on GitHub. How it works Every time you press the Enter key in a python context, this extension will parse your python file up to the location of your cursor, and determine exactly how much the next line (or two in the case of hanging indents) should be indented and how much nearby lines should be un-indented. There are three […]

June 9, 2021 Raytracer

A simple Raytracer written in pure Python

Sombra Sombra is simple Raytracer written in pure Python. It’s main purpose is to help understand how raytracing works with a clean code. If you are looking for an efficient Raytracer you should probably use something like C++. The equations used are taken from the Image Synthesis class at Texas A&M University taught by professor Ergun Akleman. The main program creates a raytraced image of a scene with simple objects like spheres and planes. It’s using a resolution of 280x192px […]
