PYTHON PROGRAMMING Tuples are a powerful Python type — but named tuples even more so! Named tuples join the strengths of names and tuples. Photo by Ainur Iman on UnsplashThe three most popular Python data types are the list, the dictionary, and the tuple. Lists and dictionaries are mutable, meaning that their elements can be…

Geospatial indexing, or Geocoding, is the process of indexing latitude-longitude pairs to small subdivisions of geographical space, and it is a technique that we data scientists often find ourselves using when faced with geospatial data. Though the first popular geospatial indexing technique “Geohash” was invented as recently as 2008, indexing latitude-longitude pairs to manageable subdidivisions…

A Clinical Perspective on Medical Innovation Image generated by Dall-E 3Being an oncologic surgeon is my primary job and passion. It allows me to interact with people and immerse myself in the healthcare system, not the fancy corporate Healthcare, just everyday medicine. And, as a researcher in AI, I’m noticing a growing disconnect between…

Boost the performance of your supervised fine-tuned models 10 min read · 14 hours ago Image by authorPre-trained Large Language Models (LLMs) can only perform next-token prediction, making them unable to answer questions. This is why these base models are then fine-tuned on pairs of instructions and answers to act as helpful…

Learning to code when AI assistants already master the skill Image created by author using Midjourney.The revelation came in the summer of 2023, when I took on a high school student as a summer intern. Their task was to develop a machine learning model to predict air quality in our city, using Jupyter notebooks, basic…
