What On Coursera [[Barbara Oakley]] Learning How to Learn Originally, came across by reading a medium post by [[Aleksa Gordić]]. This was a surprisingly useful meta-course ! (NOTE my mini write-up here is still somewhat in DRAFT mode) In three sentences You control the input of learning and the output is a side-effect. But not all strategies are as useful and rote learning is overrated and recall like spaced repetition is where the benefit is....
Inspiration Haha so per the joke of a friend about “Reynaud’s” sounds like “Raymond” as in “Everyone loves Raymond” , I was wondering, can sentence transformers tell the difference? But haha spoiler alert sort is is that if a model finds this funny then that might also not really understand the medical condition at play here , haha nervous laughter, 😅 Quick look let’s compare this first embedding model import os from sentence_transformers....
public:: true blog-date:: 2023-06-13 Ok continuing from last time, where I ran sentence_transformers model 'msmarco-MiniLM-L-6-v3' against a code search problem of comparing query lines against a source code corpus actually from the sentence_transformers github This time, I wanted to write some code around measuring the successful hits from a model run using cosine similarity from sentence_transformers Query set choice I expanded the set of queries slightly, but not that much yet so I could focus on the evaluation code....
public:: true blog-date:: 2023-06-12 briefly Inspired by the super popular #[[schrodinger logseq plugin]], I wrote up something in #python today, to publish to #Hugo like https://github.com/sawhney17/logseq-schrodinger but also with support for block embeds. In particular, I was also really inspired by [[Bas Grolleman]]’s concept here around how to be able to use #interstitial-journaling and be able to nicely coalesce selected sources through their block embeds, into a target logseq concept they all refer to....
public:: true blog_date:: 2023-06-11 The idea here was to try out Sentence Transformers , https://sbert.net , on source code search. And as a first stab, a corpus was built with, hey why not, the code from the #sentence-transformers repo. The documentation at https://www.sbert.net/examples/applications/semantic-search/README.html#python was used for the basic test here. And a small bit of code at the bottom here, shows how the lines from the python source files were written to a python list first....
