Highlights from Machine Translation and Multilinguality in May 2023

Here are a few papers I found most interesting in the flood of new pre-prints on arXiv. There was ACL’s camera-ready deadline and the start of the EMNLP anonymity period, so there were many more papers than usual. What is the best recipe for character-level encoder-only modeling? A paper from DeepMind accepted to ACL 2023 systematically (and empirically) studies how to train a BERT-like model that works directly with character-level inputs using existing architectural building blocks. Transformers work well with […]

What’s the Zen of Python?

If you’ve been learning Python long enough, then you’ve likely seen or heard about the Zen of Python. Experienced Pythonistas often refer to it as a source of wisdom and guidance, especially when they want to settle an argument about certain design decisions in a piece of code. Others take these principles even more seriously by considering them a sort of Pythonic decalogue. In this tutorial, you’ll learn where to find the Zen of Python, how it came into existence, […]

Using the NumPy Random Number Generator

Once you have a NumPy array, regardless of whether you’ve generated it randomly or obtained it from a more ordered source, there may be times when you need to select elements from it randomly or reorder its structure randomly. You’ll learn how to do this next. Selecting Array Elements Randomly Suppose you have a NumPy array of data collected from a survey, and you wish to use a random sample of its elements for analysis. The Generator object’s .choice() method […]

Create and Modify PDF Files in Python

So far, you’ve learned how to extract text and pages from PDFs and how to concatenate and merge two or more PDF files. These are all common operations with PDF files, but pypdf has many other useful features. In the following sections, you’ll learn how to rotate and crop pages in a PDF file. Rotating Pages With PageObject.rotate() You’ll start by learning how to rotate pages. For this example, you’ll use the ugly.pdf file in the practice_files/ folder. This file […]

Getting the First Match From a Python List or Iterable

At some point in your Python journey, you may need to find the first item that matches a certain criterion in a Python iterable, such as a list or dictionary. The simplest case is that you need to confirm that a particular item exists in the iterable. For example, you want to find a name in a list of names or a substring inside a string. In these cases, you’re best off using the in operator. However, there are many […]
