    Learning the Simplest Neural ODE arXiv:2505.02019v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Since the advent of the “Neural Ordinary Differential Equation (Neural ODE)” paper, learning ODEs with deep learning has been applied to system identification, time-series forecasting, and related areas. Exploiting the diffeomorphic nature of ODE solution maps, neural ODEs has also enabled their use in generative…

  • Think. Know. Act. How AI’s Core Capabilities Will Shape the Future of Work

    Think. Know. Act. How AI’s Core Capabilities Will Shape the Future of Work “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” – Charles Darwin, Originator of Evolutionary Theory Not long ago, I came across an article about a CEO, who was visibly…

  • The CNN That Challenges ViT

    The CNN That Challenges ViT Introduction The invention of ViT (Vision Transformer) causes us to think that CNNs are obsolete.  But is this really true? It is widely believed that the impressive performance of ViT comes primarily from its transformer-based architecture. However, researchers from Meta argued that it’s not entirely true. If we take a closer…

  • Diffusion Models, Explained Simply

    Diffusion Models, Explained Simply Introduction Generative AI is one of the most popular terms we hear today. Recently, there has been a surge in generative AI applications involving text, image, audio, and video generation. When it comes to image creation, Diffusion models have emerged as a state-of-the-art technique for content generation. Although they were first introduced…

  • Making Sense of KPI Changes

    Making Sense of KPI Changes As analysts, we are usually monitoring metrics. Quite often, metrics change. And when they do, it’s our job to figure out what’s going on: why did the conversion rate suddenly drop, or what is driving consistent revenue growth? I started my journey in data analytics as a Kpi analyst. For almost…

  • Fine-Tuning vLLMs for Document Understanding

    Fine-Tuning vLLMs for Document Understanding In this article, I discuss how you can fine-tune VLMs (visual large language models, often called vLLMs) like Qwen 2.5 VL 7B. I will introduce you to a dataset of handwritten digits, which the base version of Qwen 2.5 VL struggles with. We will then inspect the dataset, annotate it,…
