How a language model that was ‘too dangerous to be released’ can be used to enable a host of deep-learning powered programming tools. — The area of Natural Language Processing has exploded over the last few years and has proven to be one of the most useful subsets of Artificial Intelligence (AI). NLP is a broad field of AI that enables applications like sentiment analysis, language translation, question-answering, voice assistants and much more! …

A look into how quantum computers break RSA encryption by understanding the unique properties of quantum computers and Shor’s algorithm. — If you are sending or dealing with any sort of private data over the internet like messages, emails, passwords, etc, you are taking advantage of a process known as encryption. Encryption refers to taking any sort of data and converting it into a cryptic form using a combination of seemingly…

How biocomputing could be the dark horse of computing — The year is 2020 in the Kingdom of Computing. The king, classical computing, has ruled the kingdom since 1953 and was the first ruler of the kingdom. But, the king is getting older, and the kingdom is looking into the potential heirs to the throne of the computing kingdom. …

How the future of learning, writing and maintaining code can be changed by the use of Machine Learning. — Due to the rapid advances in the subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) known as Natural Language Processing (NLP), we are currently surrounded by brilliant applications of NLP in our everyday lives. From the ubiquitous use of voice assistants like Google Assistant, Alexa or Siri to a plethora of other language-based…

An inside look into how computers learn to produce fake content using Generative Adversarial Networks and Deep Learning. — The painting looks impressive, right? Well, it is, but not in the human sense of the word. What do I mean by this? Well, the art piece you are looking at is generated by a computer 🤯! How on earth are computers getting so good at coming up with art? …

Understanding the basics of Reinforcement Learning and Deep Q Networks (DQN) for AI — You may have heard of other applications of AI, such as pattern recognition (detecting cancers, etc.). All of these applications rely on supervised learning where the computer is given a labeled dataset (it knows that is right and wrong). These applications are great but face a few shortcomings. …

Exploring ancient stoicism philosophy to propel happiness & fulfillment in modern life — Have you ever had an important event to go to and you were running late? If you were taking a car, you were probably frustrated about the traffic. If you were taking public transit, you were perhaps upset if it was even two minutes late. If you were walking, you…

The surprising power of habits and how to harness them to your advantage — After reading Atomic Habits by James Clear, something inside had changed. It changed my perspective on life and achieving success. James breaks down human behaviour and provides great analogies for us to learn from science and other successful individuals. …

Understanding Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTMs to do sentiment analysis and much more — Positivity seems out of reach nowadays with so many twitter accounts spreading negativity. However, life doesn’t have to be so bad, and you can decide to find more positivity on twitter (the nerdy way). We can use deep learning to detect whether an account is mainly positive and negative. …
