A Step-by-Step Guide to building a BERT model with PyTorch (Part 2c) | by Tahir Rauf | Nov, 2023

So far in the series, we have accomplished several tasks: In Part 1, we prepared our dataset for BERT training. In Part 2a, we prepared fixed input embeddings for the BERT. Following that, in Part 2b, we implemented multi-head attention and the feedforward block. However, we still need to implement…

Predicting Forest Fires Using PyTorch

In this article, I use transfer learning with PyTorch* to classify aerial photos according to the fire danger they convey using only image details. The MODIS fire dataset establishes known fires in California from 2018 to 2020. The MODIS (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) dataset contains high-resolution imagery and labeled map…

Accuracy and depth evaluation of clinical low pass genome sequencing in the detection of mosaic aneuploidies and CNVs

Background: Low-pass genome sequencing (LP GS) has shown distinct advantages over traditional methods for the detection of mosaicism. However, no study has systematically evaluated the accuracy of LP GS in the detection of mosaic aneuploidies and copy number variants (CNVs) in prenatal diagnosis. Moreover, the influence of sequencing depth on…

How long does sequencing take?

The turnaround time for HLA and genome sequencing varies based on the sequencing type, sample quality, and number of samples. We typically estimate turnaround between 10-15 business days for smaller projects, from the time your samples arrive in the lab to when we deliver results. Important Notes DNA extraction is…

Safer P-CARE intravenous needle softens once inserted into body

While intravenous needles need to be rigid in order to pierce the skin, that rigidity sometimes causes damage to the veins. A new needle addresses that issue by softening upon insertion into the patient’s body – plus it reduces the likelihood of needle-poke injuries. One of the problems with conventional…

Implicit Models and Neural Numerical Methods in PyTorch

Abstract: Computation in traditional deep learning models is directly determined by the explicit linking of select primitives e.g. layers or blocks arranged in a computational graph. Implicit neural models follow instead a declarative approach; a desiderata is encoded into constraints and a numerical method is applied to solve the resulting…
