Learning, Building, and Innovating with AI
The term “overhead” is used in a variety of contexts, but semantically, it refers to something that is above or beyond the core or essential work being done. It originates from business and engineering contexts, and in terms of computing and AI, it carries a …
Introduction Have you ever wondered how machines understand and process human language? The answer lies in a powerful concept known as “Embedding.” In this blog, we’ll explore what embeddings are, how they work, and why they are crucial in transforming raw data into meaningful insights. What are Embeddings? Embeddings are a way to represent data in a continuous vector space, where similar data points are closer together. This transformation allows complex data, such …
Introduction Have you ever wondered how computers can learn to play games, drive cars, or even manage stock portfolios? The secret lies in a powerful branch of artificial intelligence known as Reinforcement Learning (RL). In this blog, we’ll explore what RL is, how it works, and why it’s revolutionizing the way machines learn and make decisions. What is Reinforcement Learning? Reinforcement Learning is a type of …
Understanding Transfer Learning Imagine you’re an experienced chef who has mastered the art of Italian cuisine. Now, you’re venturing into French cooking. While the ingredients and techniques might differ, your foundational skills in the kitchen—like chopping, seasoning, and timing—give you a head start. This is the essence of transfer learning in machine learning: using knowledge gained from one task to improve performance on a related task.Transfer learning involves taking a pre-trained model, which has already learned to recognize patterns from a large dataset, and applying it to a new, but related, task. This approach is particularly useful when you have limited data for the new task, as it allows you to leverage the extensive learning from the original task. The process begins with a model that has been trained on a large dataset. For example, a model trained on ImageNet, a vast collection …
The Concept of Fine-Tuning Imagine you’ve just acquired a beautiful, handcrafted guitar. It’s already a masterpiece, but to make it truly yours, you need to adjust the strings, tweak the tuning, and maybe even add a personal touch. This is what fine-tuning is all about in the world of machine learning—taking something that’s already great and making it perfect for your specific needs. Preparing for the Performance In the grand adventure of building machine learning models, fine-tuning is like preparing for a special performance. You’ve got a model that’s been trained on a vast amount of data, much …
Imagine you’ve just finished crafting a beautiful sculpture. It’s taken weeks of hard work, and now it stands tall, ready to be admired. But before it can be displayed in a gallery, it needs a few final touches—a polish here, a tweak there—to ensure it shines in the spotlight. This is much like what happens in the world of machine learning with a process called post-training. The Art of Post-Training In the grand adventure of building a machine learning model, post-training is the final chapter. It’s where the model, having learned from vast amounts of data, is prepared for the real world. This stage is all about refining and optimizing, ensuring the model is not …
In the world of machine learning, pre-training has become a cornerstone technique, especially in the development of sophisticated models like those used in natural language processing and computer vision. But what exactly is pre-training, and why is it so important? Let’s dive into this concept and explore how it works, all in plain language. What is Pre-Training? Imagine you’re learning to play a musical instrument. Before you can perform a complex piece, you first learn the basics—how to hold the instrument, play scales, and understand rhythm. This foundational learning makes it easier to tackle more challenging …
Artificial intelligence is a fascinating field that’s constantly evolving, and one of the exciting developments is the Mixture of Experts (MoE) neural network architecture. This approach is like having a team of specialists, each with their own expertise, working together to solve complex problems. Whether you’re just dipping your toes into AI or you’re already familiar with the basics, understanding MoE can open up new possibilities for how we build and use AI systems. What is Mixture of Experts (MoE)? Imagine you’re trying …
