(1/2) I have been following the work of @stevensanderson and David Kum for a few years now, and I am excited to see the release of their new book 🥳- Extending Excel with Python and R 🚀.
The book focuses on the common conjunction and collaboration between data scientists and Excel users. This includes scaling and automating #Excel tasks with #RStats and #Python and core data science applications such as data wrangling, working with APIs, data visualization, and modeling.
Join #PyData#Pittsburgh for a casual gathering of the local, national, and international PyData community on the sidelines of #PyCon US 2024! Meet up with fellow #DataScience, #MachineLearning, and scientific computing enthusiasts when the world's largest Python conference comes to town.
In the past few months, I created a bunch of Docker 🐳 tutorials covering random topics, from a fun setting for a Python 🐍 environment on the CLI to advanced topics such as multi-stage builds 🏗️. I organized all the tutorials under one folder, and I plan to keep updating this folder with future-related ones 😎.
Currently on my Docker tutorial TODO list:
➡️ Docker ENTRYPOINT vs CMD
➡️ Docker multi-architecture build
Day 4. Are Your Students Learning? How to check for learning as we’re teaching
Here are 5 exercises you can use as formative assessments when teaching coding skills, that will allow you to support your student at the moment when the learning is happening.
I've ended up with an inquiry from a #DataScience student interested in examples of #harm coming to people because of #data collection (especially in a war context, but open to anything). Do folks have any favorite pointers / examples I could pass along?
(1/2) Prompt Fuzzer - a new open-source project for LLM security 👇🏼
Prompt Fuzzer is a new open-source project that provides a set of functions for assessing the security of GenAI applications. This CLI-based tool enables you to run and test your system prompts to identify security vulnerabilities against potential dynamic LLM-based attacks.
Getting started with the Dev Containers extension 🚀👇🏼
The Dev Containers extension is the main reason I moved to VScode, as it provides a native and seamless integration of Docker 🐳. I started to work on a sequence of tutorials focusing on the VScode Dev Containers extension. The first tutorial on the sequence focuses on getting started with the Dev Containers extension;
ICYMI, MIT HASTS ABD Alex Reiss Sorokin presented an excellent CBI Tomash Fellow Lecture, "From Search to Research Technologies 1964-1994," on April 30th. The video of the talk now is available. #ai#datascience#librarians
We're extremely proud to announce that Deepsha Menghani (@deepsha) will be the Keynote Speaker at the Cascadia R Conference 2024. Her talk, titled 'Why is everybody talking about Generative AI?' will explore how GenAI applications have revolutionized numerous industries through practical use cases.
:gt: @graph_tool is a comprehensive and efficient :python: Python library to work with networks, including structural, dynamical and statistical algorithms, as well as visualization.
It uses :cpp: C++ under the hood for the heavy lifting, making it quite fast.
Here is a great summary or glossary doc about LLM by Aman Chadha. This long doc provides a summary of some of the main concepts related to LLM. This includes topics such as:
✅ Embeddings
✅ Vector database
✅ Prompt engineering
✅ Token
✅ RAG
✅ LLM performance evaluation
✅ Review main LLMs
I recently concluded 2 urban #datascience projects that I dreamt of doing since a long time, with 2 super talented MSc students who visited us @nerdsitu last year from Germany, Carlson @cbueth and Henrik @supergrobi.
I think in PowerShell and can manage in Python. I want to learn Rust to the degree I can write in it directly, rather than prototyping in PowerShell and then converting.
A lot of what I do is data manipulation and analysis. (Take several CSV files as input, and output new CSV files that answer business questions based on the inputs.) I'm seriously impressed with Rust's performance here.
If you've made this transition, advice on where to begin?
