So, upon instructions from our supervisor, we have to first find which model we will use fine tune for our use case.
We found this link where huggingface show list of available models:
https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/en/main_classes/model
I have to find the model that I can use in this use case along with reason and keeping in mind, i have to fine tune it, so I have to pick model that can maybe take less resources to train.
I found some models, some options are FLAN T5, BART, but FLAN is instruction based model so I have to see if I can use it or not.
Github Backup
I watched videos from Chai Aur Code & ThePrimeTime, it was on github ban topic, where some profiles got banned because of adding invalid PRs to projects, so I got the idea to build some tool that can help me take a backup of all of github repositories so i can’t lose access to them.
Then, I recorded the video for my channel, explaining the development process of it:
Prepare for Successful Career Session
On Sunday, we conducted a session on “Perparing for Successful Tech Career” conducted by Saifullah Khan.
I was thinking of doing this session at start of this month, and already had Saifullah in my mind for this, but didn’t reachout to him until on 20 october I guess, when I messaged him and he accepted the invitation.
Anyways, it was a great session with valuable new insights that I got from speaker. I got new checklist and some roadmap to later follow on.
This was the linkedin post from our community.
