I did SIR enumeration online. The application seems to have been written by someone who hates users and doesn’t want them to get the work done1. I have had the same EPIC number since 2002, and it is still valid. I have kept my information updated over the years. Yet, I had to...
I was looking for an alternative to Tinkercad to simulate building, coding, and running Arduino projects. SimulIDE Circuit Simulator seemed like an ideal candidate. SimulIDE is a simple real time electronic circuit simulator, intended for hobbyist or students to learn and experiment with analog and digital electronic circuits and microcontrollers. It supports PIC,...
Embeddings are numerical representations of real-world objects, such as words, phrases, text, images, audio, and video. Since the real world is so complex, these representations are usually vector arrays of floating-point numbers. This helps computers process meaning, context, and semantic relationships using distances and directions between vectors. Word2Vec and FastText Embeddings are learned...
I sent this email to all workshop attendees. It made sense to publish it as a post as well. Thank you for attending the “Back to Basics: Build Your Own LLM from Scratch” session. It was great to see so much curiosity and many questions in the room, the feedback many of you...
I did a workshop titled “Back to Basics: Build Your Own LLM from Scratch” at IITM/Paradox 2026, which kind of included some basic theory on how a transformer works, and then building a very small LLM. The idea was to demystify an LLM (or transformer) by understanding what goes on and then building...
FlavorGraph is a large-scale graph network that combines data from over a million recipes with chemical compound information from 1,500+ flavor molecules to predict ingredient pairings. It uses graph embedding methods to represent foods as dense vectors, enabling data-driven food pairing suggestions that go beyond human or chef intuition. In FlavorGraph, the chemical...
