What is Model Context Protocol (MCP)?

2025-11-16T12:35:08+00:00

An open, model‑agnostic protocol introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, designed to standardize how AI systems (huge language models, LLMs) connect with external data sources and tools via a JSON‑RPC interface. Often likened to a “USB‑C port for AI,” offering a universal interface rather than bespoke integrations per system. Key Benefits of MCP Provides a standardized interface so LLMs can easily connect to multiple tools and data sources without custom adapters. Solves the “N×M” problem, removing the need to build a unique connector for every AI–tool combination. Ensures structured and validated exchanges, supporting better debugging, version control, and reliability in [...]

What is Federated Learning?

2025-08-26T16:51:20+00:00

A machine learning technique where multiple devices or servers collaboratively train a shared model without sharing raw data. Instead of sending data to a central server, only the model updates (gradients/parameters) are sent, keeping sensitive information local. Key Concepts Decentralized Training: Data stays on local devices (e.g., smartphones, IoT, edge devices). Model Aggregation: A central server collects and averages model updates to improve the global model. Privacy-Preserving: Minimizes risk of exposing personal or sensitive data. Communication Efficiency: Reduces the need for large-scale raw data transfer. Edge AI Integration: Often paired with edge computing for real-time AI. How Federated Learning Works [...]

What are Clustering Algorithms in Machine Learning?

2025-08-25T06:43:36+00:00

Clustering is an unsupervised learning technique that groups similar data points without predefined labels. It helps discover hidden patterns, segment data, and reduce dimensionality in datasets. Key Concepts Clustering: Grouping data points based on similarity or distance metrics. Unsupervised Learning: No labeled data; the model identifies structure independently. Distance Metrics: Commonly used metrics include Euclidean, Manhattan, and Cosine similarity. Popular Clustering Algorithms 1. K-Means Clustering Divides data into K clusters by minimizing the variance within each cluster. Fast, easy to implement, and works well with large datasets. It requires predefining K and is sensitive to outliers. Customer segmentation, image compression. [...]
