YOUai.ai : mini-AI engines without coding

AI is at the forefront of Society changes. We are at the dawn of a new world. Let’s hope that it will NOT be a “Brave New World“. Today I discovered (through a LinkedIn post by the group “Generative AI” which has 1.3M followers.) This brand new AI is called “youai.ai” with mostly free “mini-AI”… Read More »

Generative AI in Jupyter lab

Yesterday I mentioned 2 options to add a generative AI to the command-line (AI chat models at the command line) one of which is useful (gorilla_cli) while the other is more informative on how to implement a Large Language Model (LLM) on a computer. Both are free options. Yesterday I also discovered this Blog: Generative… Read More »

AI chat models at the command line

Today I discovered 2 AI methods to get AI prompts at the command line. Gorilla_CLI The first one is rather straight forward, and is called gorilla_cli See details on GitHub for installation at https://github.com/gorilla-llm/gorilla-cli I already used it today to ask complex regular expression code to convert some text using sed. The specific question was:… Read More »

Data visualisation using R, for researchers who don’t use R

The title is interesting… and there is a lot more in the SOURCE on GitHub https://psyteachr.github.io/introdataviz/index.html Source: https://github.com/PsyTeachR/introdataviz Installation instructions are included. I saw this R material on LinkedIn which uses bilingual data as an illustration As it happens, the next post was a Ted Talk titled “The benefits of a bilingual brain” so here… Read More »

Best visualization for your data

This post on LinkedIn shares the data-to-viz.com web site that helps find the best visualization depending on the data itself. It is based on the number of numeric variables, (1,2,3, several) but can also be organized by category, both number and category, time series and more. Further more there are sample code in R, Python,… Read More »

A question-answering system for PDF files

This is a cool “App” written with Python Streamlit: upload a PDF and ask questions about it! It uses ChatGPT in the background. This “proof of concept” app has some “Community token” to access GPT. Or one can add a personal OpenAI API key. Web App: https://ask-my-pdf.streamlit.app Code: https://github.com/mobarski/ask-my-pdf Found on LinkedIn: streamlit_python-code-pdf (probably requires… Read More »
