Implementation of BERT

Reading time: 30 minutes

In this article, I tried to implement and explain the BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers) Model .This article mainly consists of defining each component's architecture and implementing a Python code for it.

BERT Model Architecture:

I have discussed in detail about the BERT model architecture in this article but in short , you can understand it as a number of encoder layers stacks on each other taken from Transformers architecture.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Linear Regression

Linear regression is a simple Supervised Learning algorithm that is used to predict the value of a dependent variable(y) for a given value of the independent variable(x) by effectively modelling a linear relationship(of the form: y = mx + c) between the input(x) and output(y) variables using the given dataset.

Linear regression has several applications :

Prediction of housing prices.
Observational Astronomy
Finance

In this article we will be discussing the advantages and disadvantages of lin...

Capsule neural networks or CapsNet

Capsule neural networks or CapsNet is an artificial neural network which consists of capsules(bunch of neurons) which allow us to confirm if entities (components) are present in the image. We will cover Capsule Networks in depth.

Introduction

Convolutional neural networks have proven to be a standard for classifying images. They are the main reason why deep learning has become so popular. However, they are not flawless as they have several disadvantages.

The major disadvantage being that they l...

Build a Minesweeper game using JavaScript

Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle game. The goal of the player is to clear a rectangular board containing hidden "mines" or bombs without detonating any of them, with help from clues about the number of neighboring mines in each cell.

In this article, we'll learn how to build a basic minesweeper game using JavaScript. This is how it will look:

Tech stack: The tech stack that will be used is:

HTML
CSS
JavaScript

Yes, no frameworks or library is to be used, we'll develop the game using Van...

Binary JSON (BSON)

In this post we shall understand the circumstances behind the need for Binary JSON (BSON), it's applications, merits and demerits and also most importantly it's relationship with JSON.

But inorder to understand BSON Let's first get a better understanding of JSON .

What is JSON?

JSON also referred to as Javascript Object Notation is a standard file format consisting of human readable text which is mainly used for asynchronous client and server communication.

Need for JSON

The need for JSON arose...

Different ways to add elements in Priority queue in C++

Priority Queue is an STL container. Primarily a container adapter which stores the greatest element at the top; a max-heap.

It is an adapter which uses a vector by default as an underlying container, but a deque can also be used. In this article, we have explored Different ways to add elements in Priority queue container in C++.

Library: queue
1. Using push()
void push (const value_type& val);
void push (value_type&& val);


This method inserts a new element to the container and initializes it ...

Developing static webpage application using Flask with no database

Flask is a micro web-framework which is easy to learn and is very simple in usage. Yet, it has the capability of building an enterprise level application which can handle large amount of traffic. In this article, we will build basic static webpage application in Flask with no database.

A static webpage means an single HTML code which does not change with user interaction. It may have CSS and JavaScript code linked with it. In terms of performance, this is one of the preferred webpages.

The idea...

Why String is immutable in Java?

Reading time: 10 minutes | Coding time: 5 minutes

An immutable object is an object whose internal state remains constant after it has been entirely created.This means that the public API of an immutable object guarantees us that its behaviour will remain same and will not change during its whole lifetime.

In Java, Strings are immutable which means that the existing String objects can't be changed i.e we can't modify the existing String objects or we can't change the internal state of the String...

pv command in Linux

pv is a terminal-based (command-line based) tool in Linux that allows us for the monitoring of data being sent through pipe. The full form of pv command is Pipe Viewer.

pv helps the user by giving him a visual display of the following,

Time Elapsed
Completed Progress (percentage bar)
Current data transfer speed (also reffered as throughput rate)
Data Transfered
ETA (Estimated Time) (Remaining time)

For installing pv command,

debian based Operating System

$ apt-get install pv

Overview of Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and their Applications

Today we cover Generative Adversarial Networks – or GANs for short. GANs are some of the most impressive things that we can do using deep learning (a sub-field of Machine Learning). We shall first see how they work, and then see some interesting and recent applications.

Introductory Machine Learning courses cover basic models that can be used for prediction (like regression), or for clustering and classification. However, GANs are used for generation, a completely different type of problem.
