Enhancing the receptive field of models is crucial for effective 3D medical image segmentation. Traditional convolutional neural networks (CNNs) often struggle to capture global information from high-resolution 3D medical images. One proposed solution is the utilization of depth-wise convolution with larger kernel sizes to capture a wider range of features. However, CNN-based approaches need help…
On a scale from 1 to 10 how good are your data ingestion skills? Photo by Blake Connally on UnsplashData ingestion is a crucial step in data engineering. Data engineers load huge amounts of data into various database systems for further transformation and processing. While dealing with relatively small amounts of data on staging we…

Large-scale pre-trained vision-language models, exemplified by CLIP (Radford et al., 2021), exhibit remarkable generalizability across diverse visual domains and real-world tasks. However, their zero-shot in-distribution (ID) performance faces limitations on certain downstream datasets. Additionally, when evaluated in a closed-set manner, these models often struggle with out-of-distribution (OOD) samples from novel classes, posing safety risks in…
Numerous challenges underlying human-robot interaction exist. One such challenge is enabling robots to display human-like expressive behaviors. Traditional rule-based methods need more scalability in new social contexts, while the need for extensive, specific datasets limits data-driven approaches. This limitation becomes pronounced as the variety of social interactions a robot might encounter increases, creating a demand…
Four Apache Airflow internals you might have missed Image generated via DALL-EI have been working with Airflow for more than three years now and overall, I am quite confident with it. It’s a powerful orchestrator that helps me build data pipelines quickly and in a scalable fashion while for most things I am looking to…

If you have been experimenting with large language models (LLMs) for search and retrieval tasks, you have likely come across retrieval augmented generation (RAG) as a technique to add relevant contextual information to LLM generated responses. By connecting an LLM to private data, RAG can enable a better response by feeding relevant data in the…
