GPT-4 can be harnessed via API to build various applications, and this article explores its use by developing a Japanese Kanji flashcard app. The guide focuses on effectively utilizing GPT-4 to supply the app with valuable and contextually relevant data.
Moonbirds is the official PFP NFT project of the Proof collective. It consists of 10,000 utility-enabled PFPs that unlock different benefits depending on the traits and the locking period of the Moonbird NFT. In this blog post, we will use Python and Alchemy to do a deep dive analysis of the collection in its first week of trading.
The Meebits NFT collection is the latest project from Larva Lab, the creator of Cryptopunks and Autoglyphs. In this tutorial, we will use Python and OpenSea API to download and analyze the transactions related to Meebits. We will cover how to download Meebits transactions using python and OpenSea API, and we will analyze the data with the goal of understanding sales trends and the behavior of some of the sellers and owners of Meebits.
Non-fungible tokens, more commonly known as NFTs, are the new big trend in the crypto and blockchain industry. The goal of this tutorial is to give you a practical introduction to NFTs using Solidity programming language and Legos.
In this blog post, we will be using an open collection of football logs to create a web app that analyzes Messi and Ronaldo's game during LaLiga season 2017-18. We will be using Python/Jupyter notebooks to analyze the data and Python/Streamlit to create an interactive web app that compares both players stats and shows their positions on the pitch.
In 1971, Thomas Schelling published a paper titled: Dynamic models of segregation. The paper introduced an agent-based model that helped studying segregation in multi-ethnics cities. The model showed that a high segregation level in cities doesn't necessarily translate into intolerance at the individual level. In this post, I will explain how to implement Schelling's segregation model using Python and Streamlit.
Since its emergence in Asia late 2019, the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic has been devastating. The virus spread to most countries causing severe respiratory infections and many human casualties. The virus also put half of the world population in lockdown which resulted in a slowdown of the world economy and a fall in stock prices. The goal of this tutorial is to introduce the steps for collecting and analyzing stock data in the context of the coronavirus pandemic.
Blockchain is arguably one of the most significant and disruptive technologies that came into existence since the inception of the Internet. It's the core technology behind Bitcoin and other crypto-currencies that drew a lot of attention in the last few years. This blog post covers the core concepts behind blockchain and shows how to implement one using Python.
In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an interactive data visualization using geospatial data. We will cover a wide range of technologies: Pandas for cleaning the data, Flask for building the server, Javascript libraries d3.js, dc.js and crossfilter.js for building the charts and Leaflet.js for building the map.
The goal of this blog post is to give you a hands-on introduction to deep learning. To do this, we will build a Cat/Dog image classifier using a deep learning algorithm called convolutional neural network. This post is divided into 2 main parts. The first part covers some core concepts behind deep learning, while the second part is structured in a hands-on tutorial format. We will use some Python code and a popular open source deep learning framework called Caffe to build the classifier.
In this blog post, I will introduce the building blocks for creating a simple IoT application. To do this, I will use an Arduino microcontroller with a photocell (light intensity sensor), a node.js server for capturing and transferring the data, and a cloud service called plotly to visualise the data. By the end of this tutorial, we will have a functioning IoT application that you can customise to other use-cases.
In this tutorial, I will combine Coursera course catalogue together with social media data to assess the popularity of courses. To to this, I will use the Coursera API to retrieve the course catalogue, I will use the sharecount.com API to get social media metrics for each course, and I will use python's pandas library to query and order the courses by popularity. The technique introduced in this tutorial can be leveraged to other use cases that require a popularity ranking system for measuring the relevance of a list of links.
Step by step tutorial for building an interactive data visualization dashboard using a dataset from DonorsChoose.org. This tutorial introduces a range of technologies: MongoDB for storing and querying the data, Python for building a web server that interacts with MongoDB and serving html pages, Javascript libraries d3.js, dc.js and crossfilter.js for building interactive charts.
In this post, I will explain about Schelling's segregation model, implement the same in Python programming language, and explain the power of agent based simulations for understanding complex phenomenon.
In this tutorial, I will use Twitter data to compare the popularity of 3 programming languages: Python, Javascript and Ruby, and to retrieve links to programming tutorials.
Sabermetrics is the apllication of statistical analysis to baseball data in order to measure in-game activity. In this post, I will use Lahman’s Baseball Database and Python programming language to explain some of the techniques used in Sabermetrics.
This is my first post on this new blog, and I'm very excited to embark on this project.
