Speak The Language Of The Future! Here Are The Top 10 Programming Languages For AI

AI algorithms and models require a specific set of programming constructs and tools that enable the creation of intelligent behavior. For example, programming languages used for AI development typically include constructs for handling large datasets, implementing complex mathematical operations, and working with probabilistic reasoning. Programming languages used for AI development also include specialized libraries and frameworks that provide developers with pre-built functions and tools for specific AI tasks. These libraries and frameworks help to speed up the development process and make it easier for developers to build complex AI systems. Programming languages are an essential component of AI development. They…

Streamlining Your Django Development Environment With Docker Containers

In this tutorial, I’ll show how you can create a shared and repeatable development environment that your entire team can use while working on a Django application. We’ll use Docker to containerize not only your Django application, but a PostgreSQL database, Celery instances, and a Redis cache server. Along the way, we’ll use best practices to improve developer productivity and keep configuration maintainable. Setting Up Docker This article will assume we’re using Ubuntu 22 but don’t worry if you’re on Windows or Mac. Installation instructions for all platforms can be found on the Docker website. To get started installing Docker for Ubuntu, we’ll…

Pythonic Techniques For Handling Sequences

Sequences and Collections are an integral part of any programming language. Python particularly handles them uniformly, i.e. any type of sequence from Strings and XML elements to arrays, lists, and Tuples are handled in a uniform way. Understanding the variety of these sequences will spare us the reinvention of the wheel as the existing common sequence interface allows us to leverage and support any new sequence types. The built-in sequences and how to group them There are 2 types of sequences: A container sequence holds references to the objects it contains, which may be of any type, while a flat sequence stores…

Python 3.12.0 Alpha 6 Released

Release Date: March 8, 2023 This is an early developer preview of Python 3.12. Major new features of the 3.12 series, compared to 3.11 Python 3.12 is still in development. This release, 3.12.0a6 is the sixth of seven planned alpha releases. Alpha releases are intended to make it easier to test the current state of new features and bug fixes and to test the release process. During the alpha phase, features may be added up until the start of the beta phase (2023-05-08) and, if necessary, may be modified or deleted up until the release candidate phase (2023-07-31). Please keep…

Improving Model Quality At Scale With Vertex AI Model Evaluation

Typically, data scientists retrain models at regular intervals to keep them fresh and relevant. This practice may turn out to be costly if the model is trained too often or inefficient if the model training isn’t frequent enough to serve the business. Ideally, data scientists prefer to continuously evaluate the models and intentionally retrain models when the model performance starts to degrade. At scale, continuous model evaluation would require a standard and efficient evaluation process and system.In fact, after training a model, data scientists and ML engineers use an offline dataset of historical examples from the production environment to evaluate…

Build A Chat Server With Cloud Run

With Cloud Run — the fully-managed serverless container platform on Google Cloud — you can quickly and easily deploy applications using standard containers. In this article, we will explain how to build a chat server with Cloud Run using Python as the development language. We will build it with the FastAPI framework, based on this FastAPI sample source code.[Note that this article does not provide detailed descriptions of each service. Refer to other articles for details like Cloud Run settings and the cloudbuild.yaml file format.] Chat server architecture The chat server consists of two Cloud Run services: frontend and backend.…

The State Of OpenTelemetry

The question we’re discussing daily with potential users of TelemetryHub is, ‘can I instrument my system with OpenTelemetry?’ And the answer is almost always ‘yes.’ Well, mostly. Any system with internet access can report data via the OpenTelemetry standard. And anyone can use an OpenTelemetry Collector to filter, compress, and limit data being sent over the internet to an OpenTelemetry Endpoint. All is well and good, but what most people want to know is ‘how well will open telemetry instrument my language and framework?’ C++ C++ has most of the pieces that need to be instrumented with OpenTelemetry The current…

How-To: Deploy Python Flask applications using NGINX and uWSGI – Configuration (Part 2 of 3)

After the installation of the requirement software, next is the configuration part. An application should have its own NGINX and uWSGI configuration. It’s not necessary to do this for NGINX but it is recommended. The reason is simple, for easier management. When you have multiple applications being managed, updating smaller settings is easier , less disruptive and safer to do. uWSGI Configuration A configuration is made for each application. For example if you have an multiple API and Web (e.g. Django) projects, each should have its own configuration file. 01. Create the uWSGI configuration in /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/. $ sudo nano /etc/uwsgi/apps-available/geek_flask_app.ini…

Advanced Topic Modeling Tutorial: How to Use SVD & NMF in Python

In the context of Natural Language Processing (NLP), topic modeling is an unsupervised learning problem whose goal is to find abstract topics in a collection of documents. Topic Modeling answers the question: “Given a text corpus of many documents, can we find the abstract topics that the text is talking about?” In this tutorial, you’ll: Learn about two powerful matrix factorization techniques – Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMF) Use them to find topics in a collection of documents By the end of this tutorial, you’ll be able to build your own topic models to find topics in any piece of text.📚📑 Let’s…
