Comments by Tom Miller, Faculty Director of Northwestern University’s MSDS program.
Years ago, as a student of applied statistics at the University of Minnesota, I learned a lesson about programming in academia. At the start of the course, the professor said,
"I don't care what language you use for assignments, as long…
Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is a method that standardizes the evaluation criteria for analyzing different aspects of images, including structural information, visual content, etc. To improve this method, various subjective studies have adopted comparative settings. In recent studies, researchers have explored large multimodal models (LMMs) to expand IQA from giving a scalar score to open-ended…
A Brief Tutorial Photo by Nabeel Hussain on UnsplashK-Means is a popular unsupervised algorithm for clustering tasks. Despite its popularity, it can be difficult to use in some contexts due to the requirement that the number of clusters (or k) be chosen before the algorithm has been implemented. Two quantitative methods to address this issue…
Lawyers often grapple with many documents in the dynamic legal world where every second counts, and information is the key to success. The sheer volume of paperwork, from contracts and court pleadings to discovery documents and case research, can be overwhelming. The legal landscape is evolving rapidly, and the need for efficient document management solutions…

Large Language Model or LLM has recently become more popular thanks to products such as ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Decades ago, people never knew what AI was capable of, and currently, everyone tries their best to catch up with the trends. If I look at the job board, many companies…
Almost all forms of biological perception are multimodal by design, allowing agents to integrate and synthesize data from several sources. Linking modalities, including vision, language, audio, temperature, and robot behaviors, have been the focus of recent research in artificial multimodal representation learning. Nevertheless, the tactile modality is still mostly unexplored when it comes to multimodal…
How to use UMAP dimensionality reduction for Embeddings to show multiple evaluation Questions and their relationships to source documents with Ragas, OpenAI, Langchain and ChromaDB 13 min read · 19 hours ago Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) adds a retrieval step to the workflow of an LLM, enabling it to query relevant data from…
Google researchers address the challenges of achieving a comprehensive understanding of diverse video content by introducing a novel encoder model, VideoPrism. Existing models in video understanding have struggled with various tasks with complex systems and motion-centric reasoning and demonstrated poor performance across different benchmarks. The researchers aimed to develop a general-purpose video encoder that can…
Quick Success Data Science Learn graphical text analysis with NLTK Sherlock Holmes (by DALL-E3)The Natural Language Tool Kit (NLTK) ships with a fun feature called a dispersion plot that lets you post the location of a word in a text. More specifically, it plots the occurrences of a word versus the number of words from…
