How to deal with imbalanced dataPhoto by Bermix Studio onUnsplashCredit card fraud detection is a plague that all financial institutions are at risk with. In general fraud detection is very challenging because fraudsters are coming up with new and innovative ways of detecting fraud, so it is difficult to find a pattern that we can detect. For example, in the diagram all the icons look the same, but there one icon that...
How X (Twitter) Designed Its Home Timeline API: Lessons toLearnA closer look at X’s API: fetching data, linking entities, and solving under-fetching.When designing a system’s API, software engineers often evaluate various approaches, such as REST vs RPC vs GraphQL, or hybrid models, to determine the best fit for a specific task or project. These approaches define how data flows between the backend and frontend, as well...

Understanding the Value of your Data: Challenges, Methods, and ApplicationsChatGPT and similar LLMs were trained on insane amounts of data. OpenAI and Co. scraped the internet, collecting books, articles, and social media posts to train their models. It’s easy to imagine that some of the texts (like scientific or news articles) were more important than others (such as random Tweets). This is true for almost any dataset...
