Transformer Architecture: Explained
The world of natural language processing (NLP) has been revolutionized by the advent of transformer architecture, a deep learning model that has fundamentally changed how computers understand human language. I find this topic fascinating because it blends complex computational models with real-world applications, effectively allowing machines to interpret and generate text with a level of…

Everything you wanna know about prompting and prompt engineering
The intersection of language and technology has always fascinated me, especially with the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), which have fundamentally changed how we interact with machines. When I started machine learning, it was mostly people working in data that routinely interacted with AI, but now everyone has access to AI systems on their…

Evolution of Language Models: From N-Grams to Neural Networks to Transformers
I am sure you have caught up on the buzz around Large Language Models (LLMs), the backbone of your favorite tool, ChatGPT and so I thought this might be a good time to write a refresher on language models, which includes their definition, evolution, application, and challenges. From n-gram to transformer models like GPT-3 and…

QUITE Framework for Data Exploration with example
The first time I mention EDA (Exploratory Data Analysis) or Data Exploration to people who want to tell stories with data, I see expressions of confusion. I can totally understand why. I have been working with data for over 6 years now, (including an advanced degree in Data Science) and I still get overwhelmed when…

The Importance Of Knowing Mathematics
The Importance of being earnest is my favorite play and this post is a small tribute to the book – “The Importance of Knowing Mathematics”. I was reading Bill Gates’ fireside chat with Jessie Woolley-Wilson. It’s named “A fireside chat on Education, technology, and almost everything in Between”. The article prompted me to reflect on…
