RNNs: The Overzealous Photographer Imagine a Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) as that friend who insists on documenting every single moment of a trip with photos. Every. Single. One. From the half-eaten sandwich at the roadside diner to the blurry squirrel spotted at a distance, nothing escapes the RNN’s camera. It processes and remembers every moment of the journey, just as an RNN processes sequences of data. Vanishing Gradients: When Memory Fails You Now, after days of intense photo-snapping, our overzealous photographer friend tries to recall the events of the first day. But alas! The details are as blurry as that […]
Unpacking the Power of TinyML: The Science Behind the Small
In the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the trend is often towards bigger and better – larger datasets, more powerful processors, and complex models. But what if we could achieve equally meaningful insights with a fraction of the power and size? Welcome to the world of Tiny Machine Learning, or TinyML for short. Let’s dive a little deeper into this fascinating field. What is TinyML? At its core, TinyML is all about deploying machine learning models on resource-constrained, low-power devices like microcontrollers. These are essentially tiny computers embedded in everyday items, from toasters and thermostats to cars and pacemakers. The […]
The Architect and the Mason: Building a Career in AI and Cybersecurity
Being a career mentoring volunteer also has an exceptional charm to it. It makes you come across diverse people and even more diverse queries that not only give you a peek into different thought process prevailing around, but also propels you to brainstorm on the same to find out the truly satisfying answer. Recently, I found myself pondering a question posed by one of my mentees. They asked, “Which skillset should I build first, AI or cybersecurity, to thrive in the intersection of the two?” This question sparked an analogy in my mind, likening the process to building a house. […]
Generative AI: Breeding Innovation, Not Job Destruction
Today, I found myself in a room, listening to a discussion that was buzzing with words like ‘Deep learning’, ‘Neural networks’, and ‘Generative models’. Amidst the whirlwind of tech jargon, a statement by Dr. Christian Essling stood out: “AI will not replace doctors, but doctors using AI will replace doctors not using AI.” This sentence, much like a well-crafted tweet, was succinct yet profound. It was as if someone had handed me the Rosetta Stone to decipher the future of work in the age of AI. With the advent of Generative AI, a subfield of AI where machines learn to […]
Understanding different Unsupervised learning models using a single example
As a part of previous blogpost and in continuation with similar lines, this blogpost will try to clarify the difference and purpose of each kind of Unsupervised learning model using a common example across all these models. Apart from defining each model type, this post will highlight if any models could be used interchangeably for certain scenarios. Types of Unsupervised Learning Models Understanding Models using an Example Let’s consider the example of customer segmentation in a retail store. The store wants to group its customers based on their purchasing behavior and preferences, in order to better target their marketing campaigns […]
Understanding different Supervised learning models using a single example
Often we get confused between different types of Supervised learning models available. This is majorly due to lack of understanding of the goal and applicability of each kind of model. In this blogpost, I will try to clarify the difference and purpose of each kind of Supervised learning model using a common example across all these models. Apart from defining each model type, I will also mention if any models could be used interchangeably for certain scenarios. Types of Supervised Learning Models Understanding Models using an Example Let’s use the example of predicting whether a person has diabetes based on […]
Key Research Work on AI against Traditional Cybersecurity Measures
With the intelligence accompanied, AI has tapped enormous strength to stealthily bypass traditional cybersecurity measures. This blogpost enlists some key research work available in public domain that bring out insightful results on how AI in its adversarial form can be used to fool or bypass traditional cybersecurity measures. Such research work (by and large provide all the more reason why current security measures need to armor for bigger and conniving threats lurking around.
Comparative Assessment of Critical Adversarial AI Attacks
Often we come across various adversarial AI attacks. Over the time, there have been numerous attacks surfacing with extensive use of one or more AI model(s) together in any application. In this blog post, a one stop platform summarizing the critical adversarial AI attacks is provided. The comparative assessment of these attacks is performed on certain basic features – Modus Operandi, Type of information affected, Phase of AI operation, and More Realizable Applicable Case Study/ Use Case (Examples are not limited to the ones listed below. The examples below are only for better realization purpose). It is worth noting that, […]
Comparative Assessment of Critical AI Models
This blog post is a one stop platform for summary of different AI models that are in predominant use. The comparative assessment of these models is based on various parameters such as – Definition, Process, Main Learning Approach, Pros, Cons, and Applications. The idea is to summarize these models and make it available for a quick view. Note that the information about the model’s is not limited to the contents in this post. Readers are highly encouraged to refer valid sources for additional and detailed information.

ChatGPT: Assignment companion
With all the hype going on lately about ChatGPT, it has become the talk of every household. While a certain clan is reaping its benefits, there are some who are either exploring its breaking point or misusing it incessantly at various degrees. Starting from misusing it for assignments to generating malwares, ChatGPT seems to have become the Messiah lately and is here to stay. You might think this blog is written using ChatGPT as well. While it could have been possible, but that would not have involved the sentience of a human which even ChatGPT acknowledges of in its various […]
