Hugging Face Transformers: Leverage Open-Source AI in Python (opens on the source site)
Transformers is a powerful Python library created by Hugging Face that allows you to download, manipulate, and run thousands of pretrained, open-source AI models. These models cover multiple tasks across modalities like natural language processing, computer vision, audio, and multimodal learning. Using pretrained open-source models can reduce costs, save the time needed to train models from scratch, and give you more control over the models you deploy. By the end of this tutorial, you’ll understand that: Hugging Face Transformers is a Python library for downloading and running pretrained…

How Open Science Can Help Researchers Prepare for the Next Pandemic (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
When COVID-19 emerged, scientists had a crucial advantage: Decades of prior research on coronaviruses meant they understood the virus’ key proteins well enough to design vaccines in record time. The next pandemic may not offer the same head start. To help improve the odds, NVIDIA has joined a coalition of global research organizations, including Google […]

Nvidia ·
Air pollution is a serious public health risk, contributing to an estimated 30,000 deaths in the U.K. alone last year.

Heart of the Matter: How a Major Children’s Hospital Uses Open Source NVIDIA AI for Cardiac Care (opens on the source site)
Nvidia ·
Your browser does not support the video tag. Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia is using open source AI tools to model children’s hearts in seconds — with the goal of enabling safer, more precise care for kids with congenital heart disease. About 1% of all live births involve a congenital heart defect — and no two are alike. A child born with a hole between the lower chambers of their heart, or a leaking valve in the single pumping chamber keeping them alive, needs care that fits their exact anatomy. Historically, the devices surgeons reach for were almost never designed with that specific…

A Debezium investigation: how MySQL synonyms INT and INTEGER were treated as different types.One of our CDC pipelines started failing with a ClassCastException on every batch.java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.Integer cannot be cast to class java.lang.LongThe pipeline was producing an Integer, but the downstream consumer expected a Long. Every run failed in the same way, which pointed us toward a schema mismatch rather than an issue with individual records.Background: how CDC worksTo see why a mismatch like that can hide for years, it helps to know how CDC actually works.
