Reading while being away

I have been away for a few weeks, traveling and attending conferences. While the conferences have been giving me an insight into the amazing things organizations are building (very heavily focused on AI/ML), I have been reading some fascinating articles during my down time.

Some really good insights and adivse - a must read.

How to write better code with ChatGPT - TechTalks

ChatGPT is not a replacement for coding skills. But if used right, it can amplify your programming immensely.

There is no escaping this. I have used ChatGPT extensively to help me write some scripts for my day to day work. Its one of the best way to get unstuck in my opinion.

The proliferation of fake news has possibly led to a mis-informed public opinion. We propose 3HAN, a three level hierarchical attention network, which creates a news vector, a representation of news articles to detect fake news. Our model (i) interprets the structure of an article as a three level hierarchy of words, sentences and headline, (ii) treats the headline as a distinctive feature and (iii) uses attention to differentiate elements of an hierarchy consistent with their interactions when constructing the news vector. Experiments on our large real world data set demonstrate the effectiveness of news vector in giving state-of- the-art performance. Visualizing the attention layers provides important parts of an article which is helpful in further human fact-checking.

I used it a couple of times, and its fascinating how this works. Hopefully more people integrate this services in their apps.
