Introduction to python

 

Welcome to the Intro to Programming course! This course is for you if you have never written a single line of code, and you are interested in learning data science and machine learning. (If you do have programming experience and are just new to the Python language, the Python course is a better fit to get started.)

In this course, you will learn how to use code to get a computer to perform certain tasks for you. Python is one of the most popular programming languages for data science, and it's the language you'll learn in this course. Once you complete this course, you'll be fully prepared to progress to the Python course, followed by the Intro to Machine Learning course.

In this tutorial, you'll see several examples of Python code. You'll get a chance to write your own code in the exercise. (If you'd like to preview the exercise, feel free to take a look now. We also provide a link to the exercise at the end of this tutorial.)

 

 

Printing

One of the simplest (and most important!) tasks you can ask a computer to do is to print a message.

In Python, we ask a computer to print a message for us by writing print() and putting the message inside the parentheses and enclosed in quotation marks. Below, we ask the computer to print the message Hello, world!

Is it the end of lora?

 Is this the end of LoRA as a fine-tuning approach? Singular Value fine-tuning is here! We have a new paper in town called the "Transformers Squared". It promises to adapt any LLM to any task without external intervention.  The core idea of the paper is to use Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) to factorize the weight matrices of transformers. During training, we learn different singular values for different tasks. More specifically, we learn to scale the singular values for different tasks. Tasks can be as diverse as math reasoning or coding. The possibilities are endless. During inference, we do a two-pass inference. In the first pass, the LLM decides which "scale" to use for which task. In the second pass, the LLM adapts itself to be a specialist in the task and responds to our prompt. How cool is that?
