Coding with Karthik: Turing Machine in C
What is a Turing Machine? Image from Wikipedia “We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.” – Alan Turing. A Turing machine is a theoretic...
Visualizing the Perceptron Learning Algorithm
Introduction The perceptron is an early innovation made in the field of machine learning. Designed to mimic the neurons in the human brain, it went on to build the foundations of today’s neural n...
ML Club Video (2024-25): Linear Regression to Neural Networks
Linear Regression is all about lines of best fit for a given dataset. But how do we find lines of best fit? Here is a quick answer: Start with a random line For each data point in data...
ML Club Video (2024-25): Dimensionality Reduction
In this ML Club session, we’ll learn how to visualize 1000-dimensional data! High dimensional data is everywhere! How do we do this? We have to represent a 1000 dimensions in 2 dimensions such th...

Did you ever wonder how Netflix and TikTok can recommend movies and videos specifically tailored to you? Turns out, there is a lot of machine learning behind these apps. In this ML Club video, we...
Trying OpenSCAD, a CAD software with a very different kind of interface
If you love designing in CAD and love to code, this might be right up your alley! Computer Aided Design, or CAD, is a type of software that allows users to model out 3D parts and assemblies. Whil...
Coding with Karthik: Stay in control of the news with an RSS email feed reader
Sample email RSS feed reader Intro So you want to keep up with the news. You could go to cnn.com or read the newspaper, but let’s be honest: those sites do not cover (at least to a great depth) ...
This site just got a new look with Jekyll!
This site just got a new look! I migrated from Wordpress to Jekyll. So far, I am extremely happy about it! I moved to Jekyll because it is a static site generator, whereas Wordpress is a dynamic...
