    The Thinking Machine – Part 3

    ,

    Self-attention changed the way we think about sequence modeling. In this third part of The Thinking Machine, we explore how each token learns to look at every other – and creating richer, context-aware representations. We break down the mechanics, reveal design choices like positional encoding, and prepare the ground for what came next: the Transformer.

    The Thinking Machine – Part 2

    ,

    The text discusses the evolution of attention mechanisms in machine learning, highlighting a shift from memory-based approaches to focus-based methods inspired by human cognitive processes. Attention mechanisms allow models to selectively weigh input information relevant to current tasks, enhancing contextual understanding, scalability, and parallelization. This shift led to the development of the Transformer architecture, revolutionizing…

    The Power of Vector Embeddings: Mapping Meaning into Mathematics

    ,

    Vector embeddings translate complex concepts like words and user behaviors into numerical vectors, allowing machines to understand and process meanings through geometric relationships. This innovative method enables tasks across various domains, such as natural language processing and recommendation systems, revealing patterns and structures without explicit programming, thereby reshaping our understanding of intelligence.

  • Cognitive Automation vs. Industrial AI: The Growing Divide in Machine Learning

    Cognitive Automation vs. Industrial AI: The Growing Divide in Machine Learning

    ,

    The post discusses the growing distinction between Large Language Models (LLMs) and traditional machine learning (ML) systems. LLMs automate cognitive tasks like writing and coding, while traditional ML focuses on solving specific, engineering-driven problems in various industries. Understanding this divide is crucial for effective recruitment, project outcomes, and business decisions in AI.
