Will flagging @mike or @jdoe do it?

Reply to my post.

@joel No problem. Let me know when you’d like to contact him and I’ll introduce you.

Regarding ChatGPT, someone tried it on solving a high school physics problem and they had the same issues come up. It had all the correct pieces but jumbled them when it came to producing a coherent solution. And the answer it produced was again outright wrong.…[Read more]

@wayne Regarding your friend, thank you. If you want to share his contact info I’d be grateful. But I think it will be months and months of study before I’ll know enough NLP to be able to even ask an ‘intelligent’ question. Thanks, to both you and @mike for pointing out the flaw in the eigenvector info, via ChatGPT. I’ll be more cautious now about…[Read more]

@joel I can put you in touch with a friend of mine I worked with here in Vancouver a few years ago. He may be able to give you some pointers and ideas. Aanchan Mohan. A very nice guy.

His linke-in is here.

An eigenvector is like a special arrow that, when you multiply it by a special number called an eigenvalue, it stays pointing in the same direction, but gets longer or shorter.

That’s completely wrong. It’s got the pieces of the concept there but mangled them in the final answer.

@joel Unfortunately Coursera has become hit or miss in recent years, at least in a couple of courses I tried a while ago. Some are quite worth the money and others not at all. I’ve heard other people complain the same way. I have no NLP background myself.

@wayne, I thought I’d replied to you yesterday, regarding Coursera, but I don’t see the text here. I started auditing the first class in the NLP specialization, as of two days ago. Coursera used to let people audit for free, but this course came up as a 7-day free trial. I’ll know in about 4 days whether they THEN allow you to continue to audit. I…[Read more]

@mike, I’m looking at the notes, and focused on them far more than ChatGPT. I was mainly curious about what CG’s capabilities were (in terms of the kind of output it could produce based on the content and structure of a question), and how I would need to ‘format’ questions, and how much detail I’d need to provide, in order to get accurate,…[Read more]

@joel, this kind of thing is not going to help you much. I hope you’re actually looking at the notes!

Thanks Mike! It is great to get back to thinking about this.

@joel

Generally python. Jupyter notebooks for testing.
Some Matlab for quick prototyping and testing sometimes.
Maple for analytical stuff.

My ‘product’ is processing of biomedical signals.

Have you looked at Coursera’s NLP offerings?

@wayne I’m just getting to the point where I can code in python. I’m curious what languages you code in, and what the ‘product’ is of your work. My main goal is to use python for math in general, but also for Open Source Intelligence (mainly for detecting and analyzing influence ops and disinformation campaigns; python’s NLP modules and…[Read more]

Deeper into the math itself (and python for quantum mechanics; one of my biggest problems right now is likely that I know so little of the math, and have such a limited ‘understanding’ of the concepts that the questions I ask might actually mislead ChatGPT into providing an irrelevant or inaccurate answer):

Explain, in terms a child could…[Read more]
