St. John, as he was named in the comics, was a long time member of the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants, introduced in 1981 as part of the iconic “Days of Future Past” storyline where the villainous team attempted to assassinate anti-mutant senator Robert Kelly, inadvertently establishing an apocalyptic timeline where mutantkind is hunted down and slaughtered. Pyro eventually transitions from the Brotherhood into its reformation as Freedom Force, Mystique’s compromise…

Karan Soni, an Indian-American actor and comedian, gained immense popularity after voicing the Indian Spider-Man variant in Sony’s latest superhero masterpiece, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. The animated feature broke many records at the box office on the first weekend and continues to do so. Its ability to transcend the genre by creating and leaving fans in awe of an expansive universe of superhero spiders is only one factor in its acclaim; with the introduction of the Spider-verse, Across the…

Using LLMs to obtain labels for supervised modelsPhoto by h heyerlein on UnsplashLabeling data is a critical step in building supervised machine learning models, as the quantity and quality of labels is often the main factor that determines model performance.However, labeling data can be very time-consuming and expensive, especially for complex tasks that involve domain knowledge or reading large amounts of data.In recent years, large language models (LLMs) have emerged as a powerful solution for obtaining labels on text…

The Karnataka government-funded ARTPARK-IISc has received approval from the Ministry of Heavy Industries (MHI) to set up an industry accelerator Centre for Advanced Manufacturing for Robotics and Autonomous Systems (CAMRAS) for technology development in robotics and autonomous systems, according to an official statement.ARTPARK-IISc aims to reduce the import footprint of robotic and autonomous systems, drones, motors, electronic regulators and printed circuits while readying the next- generation companies estimated to be…

Designing feedback loops in machine learning system designPhoto by Tine Ivanič on UnsplashIn machine learning systems, we often receive some kind of feedback from the model’s environment, that is then fed back into the system. This can take many forms, such as using the model’s output to train newer versions of the model, or using user feedback on the model’s decisions to improve the model.While many feedback loops are useful and will improve the performance of your model over time, some feedback loops will actively…

How to leverage graph information in your ML modelsPhoto by NASA on UnsplashMany real-world data-sets can naturally be framed as graphs. For example, on online platforms such as social networks, users can be represented as nodes, and follows or likes can be represented as edges.However, when building models on data from these domains, people often simplify the problem by ignoring the underlying graph structure. In doing so, machine learning practitioners ignore useful information that would help contextualize an entity…
