Hugging Face Spaces is a free way to host a portfolio with live demos, and this article walks through setting one up step by step.

Confessions of a vibe coder The post The Unbearable Lightness of Coding appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Randomization usually balances confounders in experiments, but what happens when it doesn't? The post Randomization Works in Experiments, Even Without Balance appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Late last year, Google came up with a comprehensive plan to fix the current educational system for the better. How? Majorly with the help of Artificial Intelligence, or AI, in education. We had covered the plan in a detailed report at the time, which you can read here. Ever since, the tech giant’s A...

If you’ve worked with DeepSeek OCR, you already know it was efficient at extracting text and compressing documents. Where it often fell short was reading order and layout-heavy pages, multi-column PDFs, dense tables, and mixed content still needed cleanup. DeepSeek OCR 2 is DeepSeek’s answer to that...

From notebooks to real-world systems The post Machine Learning in Production? What This Really Means appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Python dominates AI and machine learning for one simple reason: its ecosystem is amazing. Most projects are built on a small set of libraries that handle everything from data loading to deep learning at scale. Knowing these libraries makes the entire development process fast and easy. Let’s break th...

My favourite open-source AI model just got a major upgrade..Kimi K2.5 is here! LLMs excel at answering questions and writing code, but real work spans messy documents, images, incomplete data, and long decision chains. Most AI systems still struggle in these environments. Moonshot AI built Kimi K2.5...

AI systems now see images, hear speech, and process video, understanding information in its native form.

Building a chatbot prototype takes hours.

In this article, you will learn three practical ways to protect user data in real-world ML pipelines, with techniques that data scientists can implement directly in their workflows.

Recognize data science as an engineering practice and structure education accordingly. The post Data Science as Engineering: Foundations, Education, and Professional Identity appeared first on Towards Data Science.

This article lists 7 under-the-radar Python libraries that push the boundaries of feature engineering processes at scale.

How relationship-aware graphs turn connected forecasts into operational insight The post From Connections to Meaning: Why Heterogeneous Graph Transformers (HGT) Change Demand Forecasting appeared first on Towards Data Science.

As the days go by, there are more benchmarks than ever. It is hard to keep track of every HellaSwag or DS-1000 that comes out. Also, what are they even for? Bunch of cool looking names slapped on top of a benchmark to make them look cooler… Not really. Other than the zany naming that […] The post 10...

Dates and times shouldn’t break your code, but they often do. These five DIY Python functions help turn real-world dates and times into clean, usable data.

An accessible introduction to causal inference and ML The post Causal ML for the Aspiring Data Scientist appeared first on Towards Data Science.

Modern AI applications rely on intelligent agents that think, cooperate, and execute complex workflows, while single-agent systems struggle with scalability, coordination, and long-term context. AgentScope AI addresses this by offering a modular, extensible framework for building structured multi-ag...

I just downloaded the latest 4 Billion parameter model. I hit ‘Run‘. After a while, the Google Colab instance crashes. Sounds familiar? Well this is bound to happen if we don’t pay attention to the required VRAM and what VRAM we are providing to the model. Quantization is something that can help you...
