Will third party tools ever be truly effective at detecting Large Language Models?
If you are reading this, then you are probably well aware of OpenAI’s large language models, such as GPT-3 and its dialogue interface, ChatGPT. You may have also heard of concerns from teachers and employers over heavy use of Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate content for assignments, such as generating an essay that was […]
Machine Learning with Python: Nonlinear Regression
Introduction In this blog post we’ll be discussing nonlinear regression. In particular, we’ll analyze “polynomial regression”, which is one of the main processes to quickly create a non-linear regression model by expanding the existing data set. Nonlinear regression allows us to […]

There are many potential applications for linear regression, especially for your business, including: Sales forecasting: Linear regression can be used to predict future sales based on historical data, such as product pricing, marketing expenses, and consumer demographics. Inventory management: Linear […]
7 Regression Algorithms Used in Python for Machine Learning
Regression analysis is a commonly used statistical technique for predicting the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In the field of machine learning, regression algorithms are used to make predictions about continuous variables, such as housing prices, student scores, or medical outcomes. Python, being one of the most widely used […]

Self Supervised Learning
Deep Learning without labels – Self-Supervised Learning¶ In this blog post we’ll discuss Self-Supervised Learning! Classical supervised learning suffers from four main problems: Fully labelled datasets are expensive or not available at all. There is a large amount of unlabeled datasets which cannot be leveraged by Supervised Learning. Difficuly […]
Analyzing Senate Stock Trades
Analyzing Stock Market Activity of US Senators with Python¶ In 2012, a law called ” Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge (STOCK) Act of 2012″ was passed, which prohibits the use of non-public information for private profit, including insider trading by members of Congress and other government employees. This law however did not completely […]
How To Interpret The ROC Curve
The ROC curve is a valuable tool to measure the performance and then fine-tune classification models, as they show you the trade-off in sensitivity and specificity for a specific classifier at various thresholds. Despite this, some might find ROC curves difficult to understand. In this post, we’ll aim to eliminate this difficulty by providing a […]
