Random Forest — A Powerful Tool for Anyone Working With Data
What is Random Forest?
Have you ever wished you…
Introduction
Recent large language models (LLMs) — such as OpenAI’s o1/o3, DeepSeek’s R1 and Anthropic’s Claude 3.7 — demonstrate that allowing the model to think deeper and longer at test time can significantly enhance model’s reasoning capability. The core approach underlying their deep thinking capability is called chain-of-thought (CoT), where the model iteratively generates intermediate…
Which Outcome Matters? Here is a common scenario : An A/B test was conducted, where a random sample of units (e.g. customers) were selected for a campaign and they received Treatment A. Another sample was selected to receive Treatment B. “A” could be a communication or offer and “B” could be no communication or no…
In the world of machine learning, we obsess over model architectures, training pipelines, and hyper-parameter tuning, yet often overlook a fundamental aspect: how our features live and breathe throughout their lifecycle. From in-memory calculations that vanish after each prediction to the challenge of reproducing exact feature values months later, the way we handle features can…

How Meta-CoT enhances system 2 reasoning for complex AI challenges Image created by the author using Generative AI (Flux-pro)What makes a language model smart? Is it predicting the next word in a sentence ‒ or handling tough reasoning tasks that challenge even bright humans? Today’s Large Language Models (LLMs) create smooth text plus solve simple…
A basic understanding of NeRF’s workings through visual representations Who should read this article? This article aims to provide a basic beginner level understanding of NeRF’s workings through visual representations. While various blogs offer detailed explanations of NeRF, these are often geared toward readers with a strong technical background in volume rendering and 3D graphics.…

Polynomial Fit in Python with NumPy Ball Tracking and Trajectory PredictionIn a previous project I visualized the trajectory of a ball that I threw vertically into the air with a real-time position, velocity and acceleration plot. Extending upon this project, I wanted to calculate and visualize a trajectory prediction based on a simple physics model.…
