Mastering Prompt Engineering

Prompt engineering is the skill of creating effective instructions for AI models. For developers and data scientists, it’s essential because the quality of an AI’s output depends entirely on the quality of the input prompt. The commonly used large language models (LLMs) in 2025 include ChatGPT (GPT-5), Claude 4, DeepSeek…

Transformer Architecture

The Transformer architecture lies at the heart of today’s large language models (LLMs) like GPT-4, Claude, and Gemini, revolutionizing how machines understand and generate text. Introduced in the 2017 paper “Attention Is All You Need” by Vaswani et al., this architecture replaced older recurrent models by offering a faster, more context-aware approach to processing…

The Transformer Revolution

Imagine you’re reading a long story. Halfway through, you come across the word “she.” To know who “she” is, your brain quickly looks back at earlier sentences: “Oh yes, the girl with the red umbrella!” That ability to look around and find the right connection is exactly what makes transformers…

What is an LLM?

Large Language Models, or LLMs, are everywhere these days—chatbots, writing assistants, coding helpers, even customer support. But what exactly is an LLM? Every time you ask ChatGPT a question, you’re using an LLM. But how does it actually work? The easiest way to understand is to start simple. At its…

Creating Synthetic Traffic Data Using Python

Traffic data is important for things like planning roads, building smart cities, and developing self-driving cars. However, obtaining real traffic data can be expensive, incomplete, or raise privacy concerns. That’s where synthetic traffic data helps. It’s fake data that behaves like real traffic. In this post, I’ll show you how…

Synthetic Data in Transportation

In the transportation sector, real-world data is essential for planning, safety, and efficiency. But collecting it can be slow, expensive, or restricted due to privacy concerns. Synthetic data—artificially generated but statistically realistic—offers a powerful solution. City planners use synthetic traffic datasets from simulations to test new road designs, bus routes,…

Synthetic Data

In data science, the quality and quantity of data can make or break a project. Machine learning models need large, varied, and representative datasets to work well. But in many fields—such as healthcare, transportation, finance, or security—getting real data is not easy. Privacy laws, ethical concerns, and high collection costs…

Generative AI

Generative AI is one of the most exciting trends in data science today. Unlike traditional AI, which mainly analyzes or predicts from existing data, generative AI can create new content—like text, images, audio, code, and even 3D models—by learning patterns from large datasets. It works by training special models such…
