Building a Real Image Matching Project with Gemini Embedding 2
Google recently introduced Gemini Embedding 2, its first natively multimodal embedding model. This is an important step forward because it brings text, images, video, audio, and documents into a single shared embedding space. Instead of working with separate models for each type of data, developers ...

Hybrid Neuro-Symbolic Fraud Detection: Guiding Neural Networks with Domain Rules
I really thought I was onto something big: add a couple of simple domain rules to the loss function, and watch fraud detection just skyrocket on super-imbalanced data. The first run looked amazing… until I fixed a sneaky threshold bug and ran the whole thing across five different random seeds. Sudde...
Building a Like-for-Like solution for Stores in Power BI
Like-for-Like (L4L) solutions are essential for comparing elements. It's about comparing only comparable elements, in this case, comparing stores over time. Let's see a solution built in a Semantic model.

How to design and implement agent skills for custom agents outside the Claude ecosystem
The post What Are Agent Skills Beyond Claude? appeared first on Towards Data Science.
For different learning styles, goals, and comfort levels, finding a SQL course that matches how you learn is hard. Some learners want theory first. Others want to run queries immediately. And many learners just want proof of effort at the end in the form of a certificate. This list is built with tha...
Claude Flow: The AI Orchestration Framework Redefining Multi-Agent Automation
Claude Flow is an open-source orchestration framework designed to run multiple Claude agents in coordinated workflows. Instead of relying on a single LLM prompt chain, it allows developers to build systems where specialized agents collaborate, share memory, and divide complex tasks into manageable s...
