Difference between Array and LinkedList

An array is a collection of identical data objects or similar type of data objects stored in consecutive memory locations under a common heading or a variable name.
While a linked list is a data structure which contains a sequence of the elements where each element is linked to its next element. There are two fields in an element of a linked list. One is Data filed, and other is link filed, Data field contains the actual value to be stored and processed. Furthermore, the link field contains the address of the next data item in the linked list.

In an array, elements are stored in a consecutive manner in memory.
In a linked list, elements can be stored at any available place as the address of a node is stored in the previous node.

Insertion & deletion takes more time in an array as elements are stored in consecutive memory locations.
Insertion & deletion are fast & easy in a linked list as only value of a pointer is needed to change.

Array can be single dimensional, two dimension or multidimensional.
A linked list can be singly, doubly or circular linked list.

Regularization in Deep Learning / Machine Learning - Prevent Overfitting

image source: mlexplained Overfittng happens in every machine learning (ML) problem. Learning how to deal with overfitting is essential to mastering machine learning. The fundamental issue in machine learning is the tension between optimization and generalization. Optimization refers to the process of adjusting a model to get the best performance possible on the training data (the learning in machine learning ), whereas generalization refers to how well the trained model performs on data it has never seen before . The goal of the game is to get good generalization, of course, but you don’t control generalization; you can only adjust the model based on its training data. The processing of fighting overfitting is a way called regularization . [1]. How do you know whether a model is overfitting? The best initial method is to measure error on a training and test set. If you see a low error on the training set and...

Lambda, Map, and Filter in Python

Lambda: Lambda functions are known as the anonymous functions in Python. This kind of functions are declared without any name. Can accept any number of argument. Restricted to only a single expression. Used only one-time. Lambda function is used when you need a function for a short period of time. Basic syntax: lambda arguments : expression Example: Map: Map is a built-in function that takes a function object and iterable list (list/dictionary) as its parameter. Basic syntax: map (function_object, iterable_1, iterable_2, ... ) Few examples of Map in python: Filter: It works similar way like map. The difference is it makes a new list from the element in the list that satisfy some condition . In case of of parameters, it takes a function and one iterable. Basic syntax: filter (function, iterable) Normally used with lambda functions. Example is given below:

A Brief Overview of GPT-3 by OpenAI

You have probably already seen some articles like "A robot wrote an entire article. Aren't you scared yet, human?" So, who is the robot here? It's GPT-3 model. It's a transformer based language model. The full form of GPT is Generative Pre-trained Transformers. This model is developed by OpenAI. There were GPT-2 and other models released by OpenAI previously. GPT-3 was released in May 2020. GPT-3 is more robust than its predecessors. Though architecturally it doesn't have that mush difference. GPT-3 can write articles, poems, and even working code for you*, given some context. There are some limitations which I am going explain later in this article. It's a language model means given a text, it probabilistically predicts what tokens from a known vocabulary will come next in that string. So, it's sort of a autocomplete that we see on a phone keyboard. We type a word, and then the keyboard suggests another word that can come next. What sets GPT...
