Yesterday I learnt about ROC curves. There’s an extension to this concept: the Area Under each Curve (AUC). If you have two different ROC curves from different models, finding the area under each curve will reveal which model performs better. Here’s an extract from the StatQuest book that illustrates this concept well.

In the coming days, I’ll move onto the chapter about Regularization — a technique that helps prevent overfitting.

Open Problems (& Opportunities) for AI: Summary Notes from the Conference

Last week I attended the Algorithmic Innovation & Entrepreneurship Summit on Open Problems for AI. That’s a bit of a mouthful but in essence, it was a 2-day conference covering the challenges and opportunities for AI over the next 5 years. Day 1 was focussed on algorithms and AI

The Software Engineer is Dead, Long Live the Software Engineer!

An undeniable killer use case for large language models is code generation. It’s already helping software developers write code up to twice as fast and with more delight. As LLM models improve with each release, they can write better software and handle more complex architectures at a fraction of

AI agents have been getting a lot of attention but they can be expensive to run. This is because they use a lot of tokens and make multiple calls to LLMs. Some AI developers have beat performance benchmarks by using exceptionally expensive agentic runs. However, this is unrealistic because in

I switched one of my AI agents projects from GPT-4o to the new Claude 3.5 Sonnet model. The agents now run with a cost that’s roughly 85% cheaper and the final results arrive about 15% faster. To upgrade my AI agents project, all I had to do was
