The fall of Cesar

Image
Introduction   Cesar is a “hacker” who is “known” on Kik for pretending to be someone that he isn’t, what I mean by this is that he goes around pretending that he is a hacker, and claims to be a white hat just because he “exposes pedophiles”, The interesting part that he does not just expose pedophiles but rather he abuses his trust with his friends to target people he despises. One of our main victims would be his ex which we will name “Stacey” just to protect her privacy. Stacey was 16 at the time she was dating Cesar, it was believed that Cesar was 15 or 16, we do not know because his age often changes because he tells a different story to everyone. Stacey was dating Cesar until she became 18 when she decided to end the relationship with Cesar simply because she did not feel like she wanted to continue to be in a long distance, online relationship and wishes to seek something that’s more physical and close to home. Cesar did not like this idea one bit so at the time of ...

Generative Models

Disclaimer: These are just notes I'll use for references for future projects, or if any is interested to see my notes on Generative Models What is a generative model? A gen erative model, is a model for randomly generated data, aka observable data. When given some hidden parameters, it can create a probability distribution over observation and label sequences, Some cases a distribution can be created from a generative model through Baye's rule. Baye's rule   In probability theory and statistics,  Bayes '  theorem (alternatively  Bayes ' law or  Bayes '  rule ) describes the probability of an event, based on prior knowledge of conditions that might be related to the event.   Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bayes%27_theorem There are a few types of Generative models (Source:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generative_model ) Gaussian mixture model  and other types of  mixture model Hidden Markov model P...

Reading Comprehension Systems

While browsing articles related to Machine Learning, I have found something quite interesting from the Computer Science Department of Stanford University called " Evaluating Reading Comprehension Systems ". The following information compiled in this post is information taken from reliable sources which I will provide links to if you are interested in reading the full version. This post is simply meant to explain what " Reading Comprehension Systems " are in a simple matter. What is Reading Comprehension Systems? Reading Comprehension, also known as RC are systems designed to understand a given text and return answers as a response to questions about the text. Example: (Source:  https://nlp.stanford.edu/pubs/jia2017adversarial.pdf ) When you give the system this Article Article:  Super Bowl 50   Paragraph:  “ Peyton Manning became the first quarterback ever to lead two different teams to multiple Super Bowls. He is also the oldest quarterback ever to pl...
