Of late, we’ve been hearing about Twitter bots in the news due to the whole saga of Elon Musk buying Twitter. One of the reasons the deal took so long to pan out was Musk’s concerns about the number of spam bots running rampant on the platform. While Musk believes that bots make up more than 20% of accounts on Twitter, Twitter states that the number of bots on its platform is marginal. So, what’s this Twitter bot thing? A Twitter bot is essentially a Twitter account controlled by software automation rather than an actual human. It is programmed to…

In this entry (Part 1) we’ll introduce the basic concepts for face recognition and search, and implement a basic working solution purely in Python. At the end of the article you will be able to run arbitrary face search on the fly, locally on your own images.In Part 2 we’ll scale the learning of Part 1, by using a vector database to optimize interfacing and querying.Face matching, embeddings and similarity metrics.The goal: find all instances of a given query face within a pool of images.Instead of limiting the search to exact matches only, we can relax the criteria by sorting…

“Stop using AI.” This is how Dr. Kavita Ganesan, an AI expert since 2005, begins her book The Business Case for AI.

Precision and recall are commonly used metrics to measure the performance of machine learning models or AI solutions in general. It helps understand how well models are making predictions. Let’s use an email SPAM prediction example. Say you have a model that looks at an email and decides whether it’s SPAM or NOT SPAM. To see how well it’s doing, you want to compare it with human-generated labels, which we will call the actual labels. To demonstrate this, the table below shows you some actual labels and the machine (model) predicted labels. Now we’ll assume that the spam prediction is…
