Imagine you’re training a deep learning model for multi-class segmentation, and you have a bunch of segmentation masks where a unique RGB color represents each class (like sky, road, car, etc.). But here’s the catch — how do you know what RGB codes are being used? What if you need Continue Reading
Top 10 Socket Programming Pitfalls in C and How to Avoid Them
Socket programming in C allows for low-level network communication and is foundational to many applications like web servers, file transfers, and messaging systems. However, mastering socket programming can be challenging due to C’s lack of abstraction, manual memory management, and error management. In this article, we’ll explore the top 10 Continue Reading
ViTPose: Human Pose Estimation with (ViT) Vision Transformers
Human pose estimation is one of the most critical tasks in computer vision. It aims to localize anatomical key points (like shoulders, knees, and wrists) on the human body. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have long dominated this field, but a new horizon has emerged with the advent of transformers Continue Reading
The Ultimate Guide to TCP Client-Server Programming in C [Code]
TCP client-server programming in C is a critical skill for systems developers, backend engineers, and anyone dealing with low-level networking. It’s the foundation of everything from chat servers and IoT systems to custom network daemons. This guide will take you from basic theory to a multithreaded TCP server, explaining every Continue Reading
YOLO: From Real-Time to State-of-the-Art Object Detection
The You Only Look Once (YOLO) series has revolutionized object detection since its inception in 2015. Developed initially by Joseph Redmon and colleagues, YOLO redefined speed and efficiency in computer vision by transforming detection into a single regression problem. Unlike earlier two-stage detectors (e.g., R-CNN), which required multiple passes over Continue Reading
Automating Generative AI Optimization with TextGrad: A Breakthrough in AI System Refinement
TextGrad is revolutionizing AI optimization by automating system refinement using natural language feedback. AI systems now rely on multiple large language models (LLMs) and external tools for complex tasks. Traditionally, optimizing these systems required manual tuning, making the process slow and inefficient. TextGrad eliminates this bottleneck by introducing an automated Continue Reading
GradCAM and its Implementation in PyTorch
Deep learning models, especially convolutional neural networks (CNNs), often function as black boxes, making it difficult to interpret their decision-making processes. Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping (GradCAM) is a powerful technique used to visualize and understand these models by highlighting the regions of an image that contribute most to a prediction. Continue Reading
GradCAM with TensorFlow: Interpreting Neural Networks with Class Activation Maps
Deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks (CNNs), are widely used for image classification, object detection, and various computer vision tasks. However, these models are often referred to as “black boxes” due to their complex decision-making processes. To interpret these decisions and understand what parts of an image influence the Continue Reading
Visual Question Answering from Scratch using TensorFlow
Visual Question Answering (VQA) is a fascinating field in artificial intelligence where a system answers questions about an image. This combines natural language processing (NLP) to understand the question and computer vision to analyze the image. For example, given an image of a red apple and the question “What color Continue Reading
Key Components of Large Language Models (LLMs)
Large Language Models (LLMs) have become the backbone of modern Natural Language Processing (NLP), pushing the boundaries of tasks like text generation, summarization, machine translation, and question-answering. These models are designed to process vast amounts of textual data, enabling them to generate human-like responses. The core strength of LLMs lies Continue Reading
