Scientific Visualization: Python + Matplotlib

The Python scientific visualisation landscape is huge. It is composed of a myriad of tools, ranging from the most versatile and widely used down to the more specialised and confidential. Some of these tools are community based while others are developed by companies. Some are made specifically for the web, others are for the desktop […]

Between words and characters: A Brief History of Open-Vocabulary Modeling and Tokenization in NLP

In this survey, we connect several lines of work from the pre-neural and neural era, by showing how hybrid approaches of words and characters as well as subword-based approaches based on learned segmentation have been proposed and evaluated. We conclude that there is and likely will never be a silver bullet singular solution for all

Ethics-based auditing of automated decision-making systems: intervention points and policy implications

Organisations increasingly use automated decision-making systems (ADMS) to inform decisions that affect humans and their environment. While the use of ADMS can improve the accuracy and efficiency of decision-making processes, it is also coupled with ethical challenges. Unfortunately, the governance mechanisms currently used to oversee human decision-making often fail when applied to ADMS.

Introduction to Datascience: Learn Julia Programming, Math & Datascience from Scratch

I was emboldened to write this book after my video series called Data Science With Julia got some traction. That too after a tweet about Decision Tree was liked by Julia Language itself. So I thought why not give it more?

Identifying patterns in insect scents using machine learning

Scents play a central role in nature, as olfactory interactions are the language of life. In a new research project of the UvA Molecular and Materials Design Technology hub, scientists will use machine learning to predict what types of olfactory molecules interact with insect olfactory receptors. This information is important to develop safe-by-design molecules that

A backlash against AI imagery in ads may have begun as brands promote ‘human-made’

Yutong Liu & Kingston School of Art / Talking to AI 2.0 / Licenced by CC-BY 4.0 By Paul Harrison, Deakin University In a wave of new ads, brands like Heineken, Polaroid and Cadbury have started hating on artificial intelligence (AI), celebrating their work as “human-made”. But in these advertising campaigns on TV, billboards on

Using machine learning to track greenhouse gas emissions

By Michelle Willebrands PhD candidate Julia Wąsala searches for greenhouse gas emissions using satellite data. As a computer scientist, she bridges the gap between computer science and space research. “We really can’t do this research without collaboration.” Wąsala collaborates with atmospheric scientists from SRON (Space Research Organisation Netherlands) on machine learning models that detect large

Australia’s vast savannas are changing, and AI is showing us how

A grassy savannah style woodland in Western Sydney, NSW. By Qumarchi, CC BY-SA 4.0. By Dr Jessie Wells, Dr Robert Turnbull and Dr Attila Balogh Australia has the largest intact savannas on Earth. Savannas are an ever-changing mosaic of ecosystems – from the sparse grasslands to dense woodlands, forests and wetlands. They stretch from Cape

AI language models show bias against regional German dialects

Large language models systematically rate speakers of German dialects less favorably than those using Standard German. (ill./©: von der Wense Group; created with the help of AI). Large language models such as GPT-5 and Llama systematically rate speakers of German dialects less favorably than those using Standard German. This is shown by a recent collaborative
