  • AutoCodeRover resolves 22% of real-world GitHub in SWE-bench lite
    8 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 9 Apr 2024
    Thank you for your interest. There are some interesting examples in the SWE-bench-lite benchmark which are resolved by AutoCodeRover:

    - From sympy: https://github.com/sympy/sympy/issues/13643. AutoCodeRover's patch for it: https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/blob/main/results...

    - Another one from scikit-learn: https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/13070. AutoCodeRover's patch (https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/blob/main/results...) modified a few lines below (compared to the developer patch) and wrote a different comment.

    There are more examples in the results directory (https://github.com/nus-apr/auto-code-rover/tree/main/results).

    sklearn is adding support through the dataframe interchange protocol (https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/issues/25896). scipy, as far as I know, doesn't explicitly support dataframes (it just happens to work when you wrap a Series in `np.array` or `np.asarray`). I don't know about PyTorch but in general you can convert to numpy.
  • [D] Major bug in Scikit-Learn's implementation of F-1 score

    Wow, from the upvotes on this comment, it really seems like a lot of people think that this is the correct behavior! I have to say I disagree, but if that's what you think, don't just sit there upvoting comments on Reddit; instead go to this PR and tell the Scikit-Learn maintainers not to "fix" this "bug", which they are currently planning to do!

    I was in a similar boat to yours - Worked in data science and since then have made a move to data engineering and software engineering for ML services.

    I would recommend you look into the Design Patterns book by the Gang of Four. I found it particularly helpful to make extensible code that doesn't break specially with abstract classes, builders and factories. I would also recommend looking into the book The Object Oriented Thought Process to understand why traditional OOP is build the way it is.

    You can also look into the source code of popular data science libraries such as sklearn (https://github.com/scikit-learn/scikit-learn/tree/main/sklea...) and see how a lot of them have Base classes to define shared functionality between object of the same nature.

    As others mentioned, I would also encourage you to try and implement design patterns in your everyday work - maybe you can make a Factory to load models or preprocessors that follow the same Abstract class?

  • Transformers as Support Vector Machines
    1 project | news.ycombinator.com | 3 Sep 2023
    It looks like you've been the victim of some misinformation. As Dr_Birdbrain said, an SVM is a convex problem with unique global optimum. sklearn.SVC relies on libsvm which initializes the weights to 0 [0]. The random state is only used to shuffle the data to make probability estimates with Platt scaling [1]. Of the random_state parameter, the sklearn documentation for SVC [2] says

    Controls the pseudo random number generation for shuffling the data for probability estimates. Ignored when probability is False. Pass an int for reproducible output across multiple function calls. See Glossary.

    Firstly, we need a connection to Memgraph so we can get edges, split them into two parts (train set and test set). For edge splitting, we will use scikit-learn. In order to make a connection towards Memgraph, we will use gqlalchemy.
  • WiFilter is a RaspAP install extended with a squidGuard proxy to filter adult content. Great solution for a family, schools and/or public access point
    1 project | /r/raspberry_pi | 21 May 2023
    The ML component is based on scikit-learn which differentiates it from purely list-based filters. It couples this with a full-featured wireless router (RaspAP) in a single device, so it fulfills the needs of a use case not entirely addressed by Pi-hole.
