Google Veo 3: The Latest Breakthrough in AI Video Generation

Artificial intelligence has come a long way from its early days when it could only do simple tasks like solving math problems, playing basic games, or following step-by-step instructions from programmers. Back then, AI relied on fixed rules and couldn’t learn or improve on its own. As technology advanced, AI became more capable and useful. It learned to recognize voice commands, identify faces, suggest videos based on viewing habits, and learn patterns from data. [...]

Why I Chose AWS Lambda to Power My App’s Cloud Logic

For this article, I will demonstrate how I used AWS Lambda as an all-around backend system for a mock-up mobile application I developed for my Design subject in school. The mobile application is an IoT application that integrates communication between a mobile device and a handheld barcode scanner using a Bluetooth module. It also includes security functions, such as code decryption and user statuses. For the dependencies, I used flutter_blue, get, and http. The [...]

What is Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) in Machine Learning?

Area Under the ROC Curve (AUC) Cheat Sheet AUC, short for Area Under the Curve of the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC), is a metric that evaluates how well a model can differentiate between different classes. A performance metric primarily used for binary classification models. Ranges from 0 to 1: 1: Perfect model. 0.5: Model performs no better than random guessing. 0: Model inversely ranks positives and negatives. Accurate Outcomes True Positive (TP): The model [...]

What is BiLingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) Score for Machine Translation?

BiLingual Evaluation Understudy (BLEU) Score Cheat Sheet BLEU (BiLingual Evaluation Understudy) is a corpus-level metric designed to automatically evaluate the quality of machine-generated text, most commonly in machine translation (MT). It compares n-gram overlap between the machine’s output and one or more human reference translations. Introduced by Papineni et al. (2002), BLEU became the first automated metric to correlate highly with human judgments in large-scale MT evaluations. It remains a widely used baseline for evaluating [...]

What is RLHF – Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback?

What is Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)? A technique to improve AI models using human feedback to guide learning. Builds on reinforcement learning, where AI learns by trial and error to achieve goals. Uses human opinions to determine good or bad outputs, enhancing traditional reward systems. How RLHF Works Data Collection: AI generates multiple outputs (e.g., answers or text snippets). Humans provide feedback by ranking or comparing outputs (e.g., which is better or [...]

AI Learning Simplified: Three Methods That Make Machines Smart

Let’s be honest, in recent years, you might have heard of Artificial Intelligence (AI) a million times in your day-to-day life—but have you ever stopped to wonder, how does AI learn to do all the things it can? From writing essays to driving cars and even powering robots, AI has gone from a distant dream to a constant companion. In fact, many assumes that AI is created with magic that could automatically build itself [...]
