Microsoft Reactor Event on AI

Recently I attended Microsoft Reactor event on Architecture Recipes for AI-Powered Applications. The speaker was Harun Raseed Basheer. The speaker started with a brief introduction to AI and ML. Later he covered topics such as Vector Search, Cosine Similarity, RAG Model, Agentic AI, Prompt Engineering, and Tokens. The first 1 hour was theory and demonstration. The next 40 mins or so was creating an AI project hands-on on Azure.

In Azure, I created AI Hub and then AI Project. This project used GPT to create a chat application. With this exercise I also explored various models available to use and how to check the pricing for each model. I also checked how this application code can be viewed and then customized to our specific requirements.

This session was good. The speaker was knowledgeable and patiently answered the questions. I also got exposure to building an Agentic AI applications in Azure. This definitely gives me a window to explore other possibilities and opportunities in AI Applications world. I would be keen to explore this further. Of course, I'll share my learning and experience in this blog. Thanks to Microsoft and Harun for this opportunity. This is the first time I attended Reactor event, and I will be looking forward to attending such events in future. If you are interested, do click their website.

Ordinal Encoder, OneHotEncoder and LabelBinarizer in Python

Usually in the data set we work on, we will have both numerical data as well as categorical data (non-numeric). There are algorithms which do not work on categorical data. These algorithms are designed that way to enhance efficiency. So in such cases how do we train the model with categorical data? This is where we need to apply a technique called Encoding. Encoding transforms categorical data into numeric. There are various Encoders available in sci-kit learn library. In this post, I'll share my learning on three Encoders. Ordinal Encoder This performs ordinal (integer) encoding of categorical data. Let's look at an example. I have an array of categorical data. This is a 2 dimensional array. multiArray = np.array([[ 'Karnataka' ,  'KA' ], [ 'Maharastra' ,  'MH' ], [ 'Gujarat' ,  'GJ' ]]) Then I use OrdinalEncoder to transform this data. ordinalEncoder = OrdinalEncoder() ordinalEncoderArray = ordinalEncoder.fit_transform(mult...

Data Visualization using Pandas - Univariate Plots

Image
Data visualization is an important step in ML. That helps us to understand the data in visual representation. Why does it matter? Because it helps us to understand the distribution of the data, any outliers, and also relationship between multiple attributes. Experts also mention that understanding the distribution helps us in choosing correct algorithm. I cannot comment on this statement as of now, as I do not have enough knowledge on that. When I reach that stage, I’ll definitely share. Pandas library provides methods to plot data in multiple ways. In fact, I did use one of those plots called  Box and Whisker Plots  in my previous examples. However, those plots were used to see the difference between multiple algorithms. In this post, I’ll share how to visualize the data which is an important step much before we apply any ML algorithm. I’ll use the data set which was used for  Binary Classification . The data set is   Pima Indians Diabetes Database  which ...

Car Evaluation - Another Classifier Program

Image
After my successful first classifier program in Python, I took up another data set “ Car Evaluation ” for my second classifier program. I took this data set from  UCI Machine Learning Repository . I was expecting this program to be a repeat of what I did with Iris data set. However, surprisingly it was not a repeat but there were a couple of learning from this exercise. This data set has these 6 attributes with these values.  buying: vhigh, high, med, low. maint: vhigh, high, med, low. doors: 2, 3, 4, 5more. persons: 2, 4, more. lug_boot: small, med, big. safety: low, med, high The output class values are unacc (Unacceptable) acc (Acceptable) good vgood If we observe the attributes carefully, all attributes have string values. This was my first obstacle in the program. Some of the methods of scikit did not work because of string values. After a little bit of Googling I understood that I need to convert these string to numbers. This is where  Encoding Categorical feat...
