🤯 I don't know what's crazier: that 98-yr-old Kissinger has an #ArtificialIntelligence book, or my book is ⅓ of the top 6 for #AI books in Amazon! I'd like to thank everyone that's supported me. And @PacktPub has a holiday sale 25% off bestselling titles packt.link/h4dGd

In 2009, there was an app for that
In 2013, there was an Uber for X platform for that
In 2017, there was a subscription box for that
In 2021, there was a coin for that
In 2024, there's an AI for that

Excited to speak at Nebraska.Code() in July about how software development teams should approach upskilling with AI :)
Meet the Keynote Speakers at Nebraska.Code() this July!
@smasis will present on #AI and @housecor will discuss key lifestyle systems that profoundly impact our #career potential.

I have this incredible 606-page new book from @PacktPublishing: amzn.to/463U79Y by @smasis
"Interpretable #MachineLearning with #Python: Build high-performance models with hands-on, real-world examples" (2nd Ed.)

Pretty amazing to find my book featured in Santiago’s stack of ML books 🤩
10 lessons you need to become an AI/ML engineer:
1. Framing machine learning problems
2. Weak supervision and active learning
3. Processing, training, deploying, inference pipelines
4. Offline evaluation and testing in production
5. Performing error analysis. Where to work next
6. Distributed training. Data and model parallelism
7. Pruning, quantization, and knowledge distillation
8. Serving predictions. Online and batch inference
9. Monitoring models and data distribution shifts
10. Automatic retraining and evaluation of models
We cover everything on this list in my program, "Building Machine Learning Systems." And this is just the tip of the iceberg!
My program is different from everything you've seen before. It's live. It's pretty hard-core. It's going to challenge you.
The program consists of 14 hours of live classes, 8 hours of recordings, 30 assignments, 30 multi-choice questions, and a class project. Multiple companies in the space are hosting exclusive sessions for members (Google, Cleanlab, and Giskard are coming next!)
My guarantee is simple: you'll learn more than you've ever done before.
• Cohort #9 starts on December 4th
• Cohort #10 starts on January 8th
• Cohort #11 starts on February 5th
Join the community here: ml.school.
You will join another 1,000+ engineers who have already gone through the program.
To join, you pay once and get lifetime access to every program and session we run. There are no recurrent fees. Ever.
Here is the link to join: ml.school. Starting in January, the price will go up.

Just as humans have always relied on tools, from the primitive hammer to the modern smartphone, to enhance our capabilities, so do agents in LangChain.
In LangChain, agents harness various tools to perform tasks, retrieve information, and interface with external systems.
Langchain offers:
🔧 Native Built-in Tools:
• SerpAPIWrapper: Web searches & results retrieval.
• OpenAI: Natural language responses via OpenAI models.
• LLMChain: Text generation from language model prompts.
• Bing & Google Search: Web search capabilities.
• Python REPL: Execute Python code & interact with libraries.
• Requests: Initiate HTTP requests to APIs.
• Wolfram Alpha: Computation & knowledge access.
But what if you have unique requirements? LangChain's got you covered.
🛠 Custom Tools:
• Custom API Wrapper: Interface with specific APIs.
• Database Connector: Connect & query custom databases.
• Web Scraping Tool: Extract data from websites.
Whether using native tools or creating custom ones, LangChain ensures agents are equipped to handle diverse tasks.
Imagine the possibilities when your agents can be tailored to specific needs, integrating seamlessly with existing systems.

🎥Are you confused about the difference between pose estimation and gesture recognition?🤔💪Pose estimation helps identify body parts and movement, while gesture recognition interprets their meaning.

Replying to @smasis
@smasis talks about his frustrations with responsible AI and discusses uncertainty quantification using #conformalprediction (27 min onwards) and how it gives people better understanding of what data scientists are predicting rather than fooling everyone (including themselves) with giving point forecasts.
“Talking to Serg Masis, author of Interpretable Machine Learning, on the prospects for designing responsible and ethical AI systems.”

𝐩𝐢𝐩, which stands for Python Package Index, has over 540k Python packages. I searched my personal & work computer for requirements files. I have installed 450+ of them over the last 4 years. Then I gathered stats for the open-source ones. What I found was intriguing! 🤔 🧵 1/3
SHAP can’t replace the entire Responsible AI toolset: bias mitigation, adversarial robustness, privacy-preserving machine learning, error analysis, uncertainty quantification, or training interpretable machine learning models, to name a few. 🧵 4/5

I hit a bug in the Attention formula that’s been overlooked for 8+ years. All Transformer models (GPT, LLaMA, etc) are affected.
Researchers isolated the bug last month – but they missed a simple solution…

Have a big appetite for machine learning? Go full-stack!
I used to be a full-stack web developer, and when I changed careers to data science, I thought I would be a full-stack too. Then, I realized how many stacks there were! 🧵1/7
They will be thrown onto the pool's deep end with the expectation that they stick to their lane. 🧵6/7
