Sockets provide a form of inter-process communication (IPC) used to send messages across the network. The obvious example is the Internet, which you connect to via your Internet Service Provider.
There are three main types of sockets. Here are the TCP and UDP ones:
- Stream sockets: They allow processes to…
Importance of data normalization in Random Forest classifiers and regressors.
Recently, I was implementing a Random Forest regressor when I faced the classical question of: Should I implement data normalization?.
As far as I knew, decision tree-based algorithms do not need, in general, normalization. But, I realized that every time I heard this statement it was related to classifiers so…
Programming in Python a neural network from scratch
Even though many blogs explain the basis of a neural network, I realized that there are not so many implementations from scratch. Moreover, most of those implementations are using just a single neuron instead of creating a multi-layer neural network.
Hence, I decided to write this article so that any…

Implementing MultiHead and CBAM attention modules in PyTorch
Ever since the introduction of Transformer in the work “Attention is all you need”, there has been a transition in the field of NLP towards replacing Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) with attention-based networks. In current literature, there are already many great articles that describe this method. …
Implementing basic LSTM, LSTM-Linear, and CNN-LSTM-Linear
Last week, I had to reimplement an LSTM-based neural network. After checking the PyTorch documentation, I had to spend some time again reading and understanding all the input parameters.
Therefore, this time I have decided to write this article where I have made a summary of how to implement some…
In 1966, John von Neumann, who is considered to be one of the top mathematicians of the 20th century, introduced the term Cellular Automaton and defined it as a dynamic system that evolves in discrete steps. …
How and when to implement the lockdowns policies
Although over the past months we have finally started to receive a vaccine for the COVID-19, the leading approach over the last year for the effect commonly known as “flattening the curve” of infections has been social distancing. …
Comparing and assessing Conv1d and Conv2D
Probably, most of the people reading this article have already implemented some CNN-based neural networks and have wondered whether to use Conv1D or Conv2D when doing time series analysis. …
