Hi everyone, just sharing some slides about Gemma3n architecture. I found Gemma3n a very interesting model so I decided to dig a bit further, given that information about it is still very scarce, hope you enjoy !
Download the slides PDF here.
Just sharing ~100 slides about PyTorch 2 internals focusing on recent innovations (Dynamo, Inductor, and ExecuTorch). I had a lot of fun preparing this and hope you’ll enjoy it. I’m planning to record it soon.

É muito triste ver as enchentes devastadoras que tem atingido o Rio Grande do Sul nos últimos anos. Decidi fazer este post pra tentar compreender melhor a escala e o impacto desses eventos usando algumas fotos de satélite e dados recentes sobre as enchentes. Maioria das imagens recentes são do MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) do qual fiz um post em 2009 (artigo aqui) que usam 2 satélites (Terra e Aqua) para fazer cobertura quase diária em baixa resolução da terra inteira.
Estamos no meio de uma tragédia sem precedentes, por outro lado, este é um momento único para a coleta de dados por parte de pesquisadores e governo com a esperança de melhorar a modelagem desses processos hidrológicos para desenvolver sistemas de alerta e previsão de enchentes. Nunca antes observamos estes processos complexos nos rios do Rio Grande do Sul, este momento é extremamente importante para o futuro do RS.
PS: tentarei manter atualizado este post com novas imagens.

I was recently interested in the intersection of Machine Learning and RF and I was taking a look into LoRa modulation, which is based on Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS), and ended up getting to know more about the Helium network. I still think that the most stupid piece of technology behind crypto mining is spending GPU/CPU/ASIC cycles to do proof-of-work (PoW), but in the Helium network, they did something quite interesting, which was to switch to something useful such as the proof-of-coverage instead of generating heat and burning energy. Therefore we can say that the miners are doing something useful by providing radio coverage, instead of purely generating heat.
I’m proud to announce Episuite, an open-source project with a suite of tools and components for epidemiology in Python. It is an initiative trying to fill the gap that we have in the Python ecosystem for epidemiology frameworks.

This weekend I gave a talk at the Machine Learning Porto Alegre Meetup about optimization methods for Deep Learning. In this material you will find an overview of first-order methods, second-order methods and some approximations of second-order methods as well about the natural gradient descent and approximations to it. I took some long nights to prepare this material, so I hope you like it! You can download the PDF of the slides by clicking on the top-right menu.

Softmax is a distribution over choices, it maps a vector into the probability simplex that is defined as 
In the animations below you’ll see the trajectories of the sample individual sample (from the test set) over the simplex of 3 classes (dog, cat, horse) from CIFAR-10 and using a simple shallow CNN both with Adam and SGD. Each frame is generated after 10 optimization steps and the video is from 4 epochs with CIFAR-10 dataset with only the 3 aforementioned classes.
