How Paraphrase Generation techniques can be used and measured — How much do you trust scientific publications? The growth in research publication combined with the availability of new digital technologies is a double-edge sword. Although an increase in the volume of publications may seem as a positive indicator of science advancing and knowledge spreading, reality is quite different below the…

How to accelerate understanding by reducing content complexity — There are so many extraordinary AI applications out there, but so few looking to solve our big challenges as humans. Think about education for example. What are we really doing to improve our learning systems? For the first time ever, almost all content generated by human kind is available out…

How machines turn text into numbers to perform calculations — Machines can’t read text or look at images like us: they need their inputs to be transformed into numbers in order to perform calculations. Machine learning algorithms operate on a numeric feature space, even if they involve text data. But how do you turn text into numbers? Vectors and matrices…

My selection from Lex Fridman’s AI podcasts — I’m a huge fan of Lex Fridman and the awesome content he produces to promote ideas and advances in different sciences. In this regard, I want to share some of the concepts that blew my mind when I first heard them in his Podcasts. Christof Koch He is the President and Chief…

The building blocks of Deep Learning — I’m sure you’ve heard about Deep Learning, and the awesome accomplishments this discipline has reached in the past years. Whether is solving protein structures or beating the South Korean Go champion Lee Se-dol (causing him to retire), Deep Learning has been all over the news recently. But what is Deep…

Stemming and lemmatization with Python — Natural Language Processing (NLP) is probably the hottest topic in Artificial Intelligence (AI) right now. After the breakthrough of GPT-3 with its ability to write essays, code and also create images from text, Google announced its new trillion-parameter AI language model that’s almost 6 times bigger than GPT-3. These are…

Learn how to process text using Python — Natural Language Processing (NLP) is one of the most exciting fields in Artificial Intelligence. It allows machines to process and understand human language in a variety of ways, and it’s triggering a revolution in the way we interact with systems and technology. In a previous post I talked about NLP…

My selection from Lex Fridman’s AI podcasts — I’m a huge fan of Lex Fridman and the great content he produces to promote ideas and advances in different sciences. In this regard, I selected some of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts that blew my mind when I first heard them on the several interviews he shares through his…
