With the amount of Data growing exponentially in the last few years, one of the biggest challenges has become finding the most optimal way to store various data flavors. Unlike in the (not so far) past, when relational databases were considered the only way to go, organizations now want to perform analysis over raw data […]

Survival Analysis is a statistical approach used to answer the question: “How long will something last?” That “something” could range from a patient’s lifespan to the durability of a machine component or the duration of a user’s subscription. One of the most widely used tools in this area is the Kaplan-Meier estimator. Born in the

Rust has become a popular programming language in recent years as it combines security and high performance and can be used in many applications. It combines the positive characteristics of C and C++ with the modern syntax and simplicity of other programming languages such as Python. In this article, we will take a step-by-step look

In this article, we’ll talk about what Density Estimation is and the role it plays in statistical analysis. We’ll analyze two popular density estimation methods, histograms and kernel density estimators, and analyze their theoretical properties as well as how they perform in practice. Finally, we’ll look at how density estimation may be used as a

Summary of This Study Hardware choices – specifically hardware type and its quantity – along with training time, have a significant positive impact on energy, water, and carbon footprints during AI model training, whereas architecture-related factors do not. The interaction between hardware quantity and training time slows the growth of energy, water, and carbon consumption

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

We’re entering an interesting moment in AI development. AI systems are getting memory, reasoning chains, self-critiques, and long-context recall. These capabilities are exactly some of the things that I’ve previously written would be prerequisites for an AI system to be conscious. Just to be clear, I don’t believe today’s AI systems are self-aware, but I no longer

Have you ever wanted to pause an automated workflow to wait for a human decision? Maybe you need approval before provisioning cloud resources, promoting a machine learning model to production, or charging a customer’s credit card. In many data science and machine learning workflows, automation gets you 90% of the way — but that critical last
