Very excited to share that I've completed an enriching Natural Language Processing(NLP) course at UC Berkeley this quarter(Part of my Masters degree)! Delving into the intricacies of language comprehension and analysis has been truly enlightening. As we explored concepts like information extraction, sentiment analysis, and machine translation, I couldn't help but reflect on the significance of attention in NLP. Indeed, "Attention is all you need"(Transformer based model) proved to be a guiding principle throughout our studies. Grateful for the opportunity to expand my knowledge in this field! #NLP #UC Berkeley School of Information I highly recommend diving into the research paper linked here (https://lnkd.in/ggA_SrUb), though it may take a few reads to fully grasp its depths, along with Jay Almmar's insightful blog post (https://lnkd.in/gbDJ3Ddj). Excited to delve into "Generative AI" as my focus for the upcoming quarter!

A data-driven approach to driving wound healing outcomes Marcella Gomez, University of California, Santa Cruz https://lnkd.in/gAkWZYJT Meet: https://lnkd.in/g4AAWkcK YouTube Stream: https://lnkd.in/gwtqaTmf Talk details: https://lnkd.in/gWn3B3cU Subscribe for talk announcements: https://lnkd.in/g5ciuNuX Abstract: Precision medicine requires an ability to predict the response of an individual to a prescribed treatment regimen a priori. Thus, advancement in the field is challenged by a lack of predictive models and, arguably, a lack of time-series information for a highly dynamic system. Here, we discuss work in wound healing, for accelerating wound closure. We argue that timing of treatments is as critical to consider as the choice of drug or therapy. Due to system size and complexity, data-driven methods need to be explored to develop multi-dimensional quantifiable indicators tracking systemic changes. In this work I discuss how bioelectronic devices enhanced with deep learning can help facilitate real-time sensing and actuation for automated decisions in treatment for wound healing and preliminary work in transcriptomic based classification of wound states. Bio: Marcella M. Gomez is an associate professor at UC Santa Cruz in the department of Applied Mathematics and Associate Dean for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion for Baskin Engineering. She received her PhD from Caltech in 2015 and a B.S. from UC Berkeley in 2009; both degrees in Mechanical Engineering. Her research interests are in the broad field of bio-control leveraging methods in machine learning and control theory. Applications range from controlling single-cell response to driving complex systems such as wound healing. #modeling #simulation #medicine #healing #trauma #predictivemodeling #datascience #data #woundhealing #biology #bioengineering #systemanalysis #sensing #omics

I found this post pretty insightful (in terms of qualifying the differences), though I think it misses what the difference actually is When you're interviewing someone for 45 minutes, what kind of data can you get? Can you really conclude this person is going to be a good leader? Or are you simply measuring how well the person can bullshit? Coding & problem solving, on the other hand, cannot be bullshit They are a good predictor & signal of actual real-world performance (at least, how good of a coder & problem solver the person is) Whereas if you interview someone & they "seem to be a good leader", what you're actually probably measuring is that they're a really good bullshitter If I had to assign probabilities: A) Probability that a "leadership interview" leads to a hire which is: A good bullshitter: 90% Competent: 20% Hardworking: 20% A good leader: 20% B) Probability a technical/problem-solving interview leads to a hire which is: Competent: 90% Hardworking: 50% A good leader: 20% A good bullshitter: 20% I'll take (B) any day

LLMs and LangChain: The Dynamic Duo 🦸‍♀️🤖 Just finished a fun project where we built a Q&A bot using these two powerhouses. It's like having a personal AI assistant that's always ready to answer your burning questions! 🔥 Here's what I learned: LLMs are wizards: They can conjure up answers from thin air (or, uh, the internet). 🧙‍♂️ LangChain is the glue: It holds everything together and makes it easy to use. 🔗 Endless possibilities: This tech can be used for anything from customer support to writing catchy social media posts. 📝 Want to see it live (obvio a test server link 😛 ): https://lnkd.in/dZNAVCSV Note: it's a render link, they will take down the instance because of no use, you can hit the link and wait for two minutes, they will spin up the instance and you can try it out.

🎉 Exciting news! 🎉 I'm thrilled to share that I've received the Amazon Inventor Puzzle piece for filing a patent with the USPTO within my first year at Amazon Ads! 🚀 It's been an incredible journey bringing innovative ideas to life, and I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge projects. Last year, the idea I developed with Ads Traffic Quality was productionized across multiple businesses, including Twitch, making a real impact in optimizing ad experiences. This achievement feels particularly special given my previous patent filed in 2015 and accepted in 2018 during my employment at SAP, where I developed Unified Data Management for Database Systems (https://lnkd.in/gqWgFM2d), deployed for SAP HANA, and garnered 30+ citations. It's incredibly fulfilling to see my work making a difference in the tech industry. I'm truly honored to be part of teams that foster innovation and empower inventors to push boundaries. Here's to many more exciting discoveries ahead! 🚀💡 #Innovation #Patent #TechLife #AmazonAds #SAPHANA

✨ 𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗨𝗻𝗶𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗘𝗕𝟭 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲: 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀 ✨ When it comes to the EB1 visa process, one piece of advice I often share is: Don't copy someone else's profile. While it might seem tempting to replicate the approach of someone who succeeded, your story, achievements, and contributions are what truly set you apart. The EB1 criteria are designed to highlight your extraordinary abilities—not a cookie-cutter version of someone else’s journey. Immigration officers evaluate the originality and impact of your work, which means a one-size-fits-all approach often falls flat. So, how can you make your profile unique? ✅ Reflect on Your Journey: What problems have you solved? What innovations are tied to your name? ✅ Showcase Your Expertise: Think about the awards, recognitions, or key projects that demonstrate your influence. ✅ Build a Compelling Narrative: Connect the dots between your accomplishments to tell a cohesive, authentic story. Every EB1 recipient’s profile is as unique as their fingerprint. By staying true to your strengths and achievements, you not only increase your chances of success but also build a case that genuinely reflects who you are. 💡 Looking for support on your EB1 journey? 1️⃣ Join our EB1A Slack community, where we share insights, strategies, and inspiration to help you craft a winning profile. Join here: https://lnkd.in/gdcxCU7U 2️⃣ Book a personalized consultation with me to get tailored guidance and actionable feedback. 📅 Book a call here: https://lnkd.in/gCgsKfix Let’s make your EB1 case as extraordinary as your story. 🚀

While there are certainly individual variations in skill and experience when discussing modern software development the story is much more nuanced than pure individual effort.  * software development is a team sport -- individual performance is heavily impacted by the system in which they are asked to operate in.  * we pair skill and experience to this model of understanding performance by expecting people to be able to influence and adapt in direct proportion to their seniority, aka the more senior you are the more responsible you are for the outcomes of your work, the less senior you are the more your manager and management chain are responsible.  * humans want to succeed, we're social animals who derive purpose from demonstrating skill, and working collectively. All of which is to say there is no way you have over 1000 people underperforming at your company without senior leadership deeply implicated in.  If nearly 10% of your company is failing, versus just having the market move against you, you need to fire the CEO.

Two facts: First: Jack and the Storefront team handle some of the most interesting problems at Recharge if you're into caching, synchronizing, and lots of data puzzles to solve. Second: I work with the team as Principal so we'd get to have some fun while we do the first part.
