There’s no getting around it. Neural networks are complicated. And hard to understand. It is hard to know where to start when using them. There are so many architectural decisions, hyperparameters, and other settings to consider, that, when building models, it can feel like mashing random values together until something works.

I’ve been developing ContentOracle AI Chat, a plugin that adds a retrieval-augmented ai chatbot to WordPress websites for the past six months. Today, I’d like to take a look at the main features of my new plugin, and share some lessons learned and problems solved in the process of building a powerful retrieval-augmented chatbot for […]
This is the second entry in my series exploring the fundamentals of machine learning and AI by programming them from scratch. Follow along with the accompanying notebook by clicking here. Previously, I built a binary classifier from scratch, and trained it using a random local search method. It was implemented in such a way that […]
Hello, I hope you are doing well. This is the first entry in what I hope to make a series of articles documenting my journey into learning about the fundamentals of machine learning and AI by building the systems from scratch. This time, I will demonstrate how I built a powerful binary classifier from scratch […]
