Overlaying a mask on top of an image is a common step in visualizing results from computer vision models, especially in tasks like semantic segmentation, object detection, and medical image analysis. This helps developers and researchers easily see which parts of the image the model has identified as belonging to Continue Reading
A Deep Dive into the Strengths and Limits of Large Language Models (LLMs)
Large language models (LLMs) have come to dominate natural‑language AI, and a new generation—Large Reasoning Models (LRMs)—now claims to “think” via extended chain‑of‑thought (CoT) outputs. But is this genuine reasoning or merely a high‑tech parlor trick? In their paper “The Illusion of Thinking: Understanding the Strengths and Limitations of Reasoning Continue Reading
Converting RGB Mask to Class Index Masks in Python
In the world of semantic segmentation, each pixel in an image carries a meaning — a class label that represents an object or region. These labels can be stored in various formats, and one common way is using a multi-class RGB mask, where each class is represented by a unique Continue Reading
Secure File Transfer with TCP Socket in Python
In today’s data-driven world, transferring files securely between machines is a common but critical task. Whether you’re syncing backup files, sharing sensitive documents, or building a peer-to-peer system, data security and integrity are paramount. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through how to build a Secure File Transfer Application in Continue Reading
Extracting RGB Codes from Multi-Class Segmentation Masks with Python
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
