Collaborators: Prompt engineering with Siddharth Suri and David Holtz

[MUSIC FADES] Today I’m talking to Dr. Siddharth Suri, also known as Sid, who’s a computational social scientist and a senior principal researcher at Microsoft Research. With him is Dr. David Holtz, an assistant professor in the Haas School of Business at the University of California, Berkeley. Sid and David are co-leading a team of researchers who are exploring the fascinating world of prompt engineering as part of the AI, Cognition, and the Economy, or AICE, initiative at Microsoft Research.

Building a Robust Machine Learning Pipeline: Best Practices and Common Pitfalls

Building a Robust Machine Learning Pipeline: Best Practices and Common PitfallsImage by Editor | Midjourney In real life, the machine learning model is not a standalone object that only produces a prediction. It is part of an extended system that can only provide values if we manage it together. We need the machine learning (ML) pipeline to operate the model and deliver value. Building an ML pipeline would require us to understand the end-to-end process of the machine learning lifecycle. […]

How to Reset a pandas DataFrame Index

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to reset a pandas DataFrame index, the reasons why you might want to do this, and the problems that could occur if you don’t. Before you start your learning journey, you should familiarize yourself with how to create a pandas DataFrame. Knowing the difference between a DataFrame and a pandas Series will also prove useful to you. In addition, you may want to use the data analysis tool Jupyter Notebook as you work through […]

From static prediction to dynamic characterization: AI2BMD advances protein dynamics with ab initio accuracy

The essence of the biological world lies in the ever-changing nature of its molecules and their interactions. Understanding the dynamics and interactions of biomolecules is crucial for deciphering the mechanisms behind biological processes and for developing biomaterials and drugs. As Richard Feynman famously said, “Everything that living things do can be understood in terms of the jigglings and wigglings of atoms.” Yet capturing these real-life movements is nearly impossible through experiments.  In recent years, with the development of deep

Highlights from Machine Translation and Multilinguality in October 2024

Here are summaries of a few pre-preprints that I noticed on arXiv during October. LangSAMP: Language-Script Aware Multilingual Pretraining Folks from LMU Munich try a relatively simple trick to improve multilingual encoder models, particularly non-Latin-script and low-resource languages. They use additional information about the language identity and the script, but only during training, so at the inference, we can still use the model without caring about what language we feed in. They add static language and script embeddings before the […]

HAWBLITZEL: So what we’re trying to address is a very simple problem where we’re trying to help developers write software that doesn’t have bugs in it. And we’re trying to provide a tool with Verus that will help developers show that their code actually behaves the way it’s supposed to; it obeys some sort of specification for what the program is supposed to do.  TINGLE: How does this publication build on or differ from other research in this field, including […]

Natural Language Generation Inside Out: Teaching Machines to Write Like Humans

Natural Language Generation Inside Out: Teaching Machines to Write Like HumansImage by Editor | Midjourney Natural language generation (NLG) is an enthralling area of artificial intelligence (AI), or more specifically of natural language processing (NLP), aimed at enabling machines to produce human-like text that drives human-machine communication for problem-solving. This article explores what NLG is, how it works, and how this area has evolved over recent years while underscoring its significance in several applications. Understanding Natural Language Generation AI and […]

Variables in Python: Usage and Best Practices

Watch Now This tutorial has a related video course created by the Real Python team. Watch it together with the written tutorial to deepen your understanding: Variables in Python In Python, variables are symbolic names that refer to objects or values stored in your computer’s memory. They allow you to assign descriptive names to data, making it easier to manipulate and reuse values throughout your code. Understanding variables is key for Python developers because variables are essential building blocks for […]

SHAN LU: Thank you. BOGDAN STOICA: Thanks for having us. HUIZINGA: Shan, let’s kick things off with you. Give us a brief overview of your paper. What problem or issue does it address, and why should we care about it? LU: Yeah, so basically from the title, we are looking at retry bugs in software systems. So what retry means is that people may not realize for big software like the ones that run in Microsoft, all kinds of unexpected […]
