The NLP Cypher | 08.08.21

Machine Learning education content from aggregating 1,300 questions from an ML Course. Pretty cool site with very simple and intuitive answers to technical ML questions. If you are looking for more math heavy stuff go elsewhere. Here’s an example: What do dropout layers do? Dropout layers throw things away. Now you would be asking, why would I want my model to throw data away? It turns out that throwing things away when training a model can drastically improve a model’s […]

The NLP Cypher | 09.05.21

Hey Welcome Back! A flood of EMNLP 2021 papers came in this week so today’s newsletter should be loads of fun! 😋 But first, a meme search engine: An article on The Gradient had an interesting take on NLU. It describes how a NNs’ capacity for NLU inference is inherently bounded to the background knowledge it knows (which is usually highly limited relative to a human). Although I would add a bit more nuance to this by sharing that this […]

The NLP Cypher | 09.19.21

Welcome back! We have a long newsletter this week as many new NLP repos were published as tech nerds return from their Summer vacation. 😁 This week I’ll add close to 150 new NLP repos to the NLP Index. So stay tuned for this update, it will drop this week. just explore… Embeddinghub is a database built for machine learning embeddings. It is built with four goals in mind. Store embeddings durably and with high availability Allow for approximate nearest […]

The Django Template Language: Tags and Filters

Django is a powerful framework for creating web applications in Python. Its features include database models, routing URLs, authentication, user management, administrative tools, and a template language. You can compose reusable HTML that changes based on the data you pass to the template language. Django templates use tags and filters to define a mini-language that’s similar to Python—but isn’t Python. You’ll get to know Django templates through the tags and filters you use to compose reusable HTML. In this tutorial, […]

Pass by Reference in Python: Best Practices

After gaining some familiarity with Python, you may notice cases in which your functions don’t modify arguments in place as you might expect, especially if you’re familiar with other programming languages. Some languages handle function arguments as references to existing variables, which is known as pass by reference. Other languages handle them as independent values, an approach known as pass by value. If you’re an intermediate Python programmer who wishes to understand Python’s peculiar way of handling function arguments, then […]

Using the “and” Boolean Operator in Python

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 tutorial, you’ll learn about the and operator and how to use it in your code. You’ll also code a few practical examples that will help you understand how to use the and operator to approach different problems in a Pythonic way. Even if you don’t use […]

Using Podman with BuildKit, the better Docker image builder

BuildKit is a new and improved tool for building Docker images: it’s faster, has critical features missing from traditional Dockerfiles like build secrets, plus additionally useful features like cache mounting. So if you’re building Docker images, using BuildKit is in general a good idea. And then there’s Podman: Podman is a reimplemented, compatible version of the Docker CLI and API. It does not however implement all the BuildKit Dockerfile extensions. On its own, then, Podman isn’t as good as Docker […]

Using Data Classes in Python

One new and exciting feature that came out in Python 3.7 was the data class. A data class is a class typically containing mainly data, although there aren’t really any restrictions. With data classes, you don’t have to write boilerplate code to get proper initialization, representation, and comparisons for your objects. In this course, you’ll learn how to: Define your own data classes Add default values to the fields in your data class Customize the ordering of data class objects […]
