🪆 Introduction to Matryoshka Embedding Models

In this blogpost, we will introduce you to the concept of Matryoshka Embeddings and explain why they are useful. We will discuss how these models are theoretically trained and how you can train them using Sentence Transformers. Additionally, we will provide practical guidance on how to use Matryoshka Embedding models and share a comparison between a Matryoshka embedding model and a regular embedding model. Finally, we invite you to check out our interactive demo that showcases the power of these models. Table of Contents Understanding Embeddings Embeddings are one of the most versatile tools in natural language processing, enabling practitioners

Rust Generics Made Simple – DEV Community

A common requirement in programming is using the same function to handle data of different types. In programming languages that don’t support generics, you usually need to write a separate function for each data type. The existence of generics offers convenience to developers, reduces code redundancy, and greatly enriches the language’s expressive capabilities. It allows a single function to replace many functions that perform the same task but work on different types of data. For example, when generics are not used, defining a double function whose parameter can be of type u8, i8, u16, i16, u32, i32, etc., looks like

Fine-Tuning Gemma Models in Hugging Face

We recently announced that Gemma, the open weights language model from Google Deepmind, is available for the broader open-source community via Hugging Face. It’s available in 2 billion and 7 billion parameter sizes with pretrained and instruction-tuned flavors. It’s available on Hugging Face, supported in TGI, and easily accessible for deployment and fine-tuning in the Vertex Model Garden and Google Kubernetes Engine. The Gemma family of models also happens to be well suited for prototyping and experimentation using the free GPU resource available via Colab. In this post we will briefly review how you can do Parameter Efficient FineTuning (PEFT)

getting past the airtag limit on ios

We had AirTags in it, but we hit the 32 tag limit on iOS. That tracker? It never synced. We couldn’t recover anything. That’s when we realized:Apple’s ecosystem wasn’t built for people who manage real assets — trailers, equipment, tools, inventory. People like us. So we built Airpinpoint. It breaks the 32 AirTag limit and gives you: Unlimited AirTag tracking across iClouds Location history (see where it’s been) Geofence alerts (know when it moves) Shareable live links (send to coworkers) An API (for devs who want control) Automatic inventory tracking If you’re tired of losing gear, or worse — not

NorskRegnesentral/skweak: skweak: A software toolkit for weak supervision applied to NLP tasks

Skweak is no longer actively maintained (if you are interested to take over the project, give us a shout). Labelled data remains a scarce resource in many practical NLP scenarios. This is especially the case when working with resource-poor languages (or text domains), or when using task-specific labels without pre-existing datasets. The only available option is often to collect and annotate texts by hand, which is expensive and time-consuming. skweak (pronounced /skwi:k/) is a Python-based software toolkit that provides a concrete solution to this problem using weak supervision. skweak is built around a very simple idea: Instead of annotating texts

AI Watermarking 101: Tools and Techniques

In recent months, we’ve seen multiple news stories involving ‘deepfakes’, or AI-generated content: from images of Taylor Swift to videos of Tom Hanks and recordings of US President Joe Biden. Whether they are selling products, manipulating images of people without their consent, supporting phishing for private information, or creating misinformation materials intended to mislead voters, deepfakes are increasingly being shared on social media platforms. This enables them to be quickly propagated and have a wider reach and therefore, the potential to cause long-lasting damage. In this blog post, we will describe approaches to carry out watermarking of AI-generated content, discuss

Adding Electronic Signatures to a Rails 8 App

Integrating an electronic signature feature can be a great addition when building applications that require document signing. In this tutorial, we will walk through how to add a signature pad to a Rails 8 app using Tailwind CSS, PostgreSQL, and Importmap. We’ll leverage the signature_pad JavaScript library to enable users to draw their signatures directly within a form. Step 1: Install Signature Pad Rails 8 with Importmap allows us to pin JavaScript libraries easily. Start by running the following command to install signature_pad: bin/importmap pin signature_pad Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode This command will pin signature_pad and update the
