A very noisy kitchen

Current artificial intellingence tools operate on complex modular architectures that transcend the basic language model. The essential technical components for their coordinated operation are reviewed, starting with the use of embeddings and vector databases as a foundation for semantic search and the implementation of RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation). Likewise, advanced orchestration mechanisms are examined, such as integrating external APIs, security Guardrails, and the development of autonomous agents and Fine-Tuning processes for specialization in specific domains.

Neither you can

Human cognition is reexamined through the lens of machine learning, proposing stochastic determinism as a technical alternative to free will. By equating creativity with the temperature of generative models and learning with error minimization via gradient descent, it is concluded that biological and artificial intelligences operate under the same fundamental algorithmic logic.

The cursed roundabout

How unmeasured confounding can distort associations in observational studies is reviewed, and parameters to quantify this effect are presented. This article explains how the E-value quantifies the minimum strength that an unmeasured confounder would need to have in order to fully explain an observed effect or make it compatible with the absence of association. Finally, it briefly discusses its extensions to different effect measures and its complementary role to p-values in critical appraisal.

Cooper’s bookshelf

Principal component analysis (PCA) is a statistical dimensionality reduction technique that transforms correlated variables into independent orthogonal components. Its purpose is to simplify complex data structures by maximizing explained variance and eliminating informational redundancy through methods such as singular value decomposition.

We’re definitely going extinct

The central limit theorem states that if we take a sufficiently large number of random samples from the same population and calculate the mean for each sample, the distribution of those means will tend to follow a normal distribution, regardless of the original distribution of the data. This allows for the safe application of many statistical analyses, such as estimating confidence intervals and hypothesis testing.
