Which Outcome Matters? Here is a common scenario : An A/B test was conducted, where a random sample of units (e.g. customers) were selected for a campaign and they received Treatment A. Another sample was selected to receive Treatment B. “A” could be a communication or offer and “B” could be no communication or no…

In the world of machine learning, we obsess over model architectures, training pipelines, and hyper-parameter tuning, yet often overlook a fundamental aspect: how our features live and breathe throughout their lifecycle. From in-memory calculations that vanish after each prediction to the challenge of reproducing exact feature values months later, the way we handle features can…

How Meta-CoT enhances system 2 reasoning for complex AI challenges Image created by the author using Generative AI (Flux-pro)What makes a language model smart? Is it predicting the next word in a sentence ‒ or handling tough reasoning tasks that challenge even bright humans? Today’s Large Language Models (LLMs) create smooth text plus solve simple…

A basic understanding of NeRF’s workings through visual representations Who should read this article? This article aims to provide a basic beginner level understanding of NeRF’s workings through visual representations. While various blogs offer detailed explanations of NeRF, these are often geared toward readers with a strong technical background in volume rendering and 3D graphics.…

Data Science Explore the power of regex and save time in data analysis Image created by Author using Meta AIData is rarely clean and never in the required structure!! Whether you are starting with data science or are an experienced professional — You won’t deny the above statement! In a data analyst’s career extracting actionable…

Polynomial Fit in Python with NumPy Ball Tracking and Trajectory PredictionIn a previous project I visualized the trajectory of a ball that I threw vertically into the air with a real-time position, velocity and acceleration plot. Extending upon this project, I wanted to calculate and visualize a trajectory prediction based on a simple physics model.…

Using Qwen2.5–7B-Instruct powered code agents to create a local, open source, multi-agentic RAG system Photo by Jaredd Craig on UnsplashLarge Language Models have shown impressive capabilities and they are still undergoing steady improvements with each new generation of models released. Applications such as chatbots and summarisation can directly exploit the language proficiency of LLMs as…

Discover how to set up an efficient MLflow environment to track your experiments, compare and choose the best model for deployment Training and fine-tuning various models is a basic task for every computer vision researcher. Even for easy ones, we do a hyper-parameter search to find the optimal way of training the model over our…
