Corría el año 2015, un estudiante de maestría de Ciencia Política tenía que procesar datos para entregar su tésis y decidió aprovechar la oportunidad para aprender a usar R. Al largo y tortuoso camino del requisito académico se agregó un grado de dificultad extra: incorporar un software de programación desde cero, con una curva de aprendizaje algo empinada.
Prompt engineering is a technique used to effectively communicate with large language models (LLM) like GPT-3 or GPT-4 and get the desired output. Here there are applications of 8 distinct prompt techniques to interact with Mistral AI and find out how we can prompt effectively to learn about Foundation Models. Zero-Shot Learning : This involves giving the AI a task without any prior examples.

One important aspect of rOpenSci’s mission is to build capacity and promote passionate community members who help the open science and open source software community grow and improve. The rOpenSci Champions Program is a unique opportunity for us to identify, recognize, and reward such individuals and support them in their work to improve their communities and the wider ecosystem.
Hi everyone, in today’s slightly more technical edition I will focus on my recent encounters with the Linked Data query language SPARQL. Many of you may know it as a language to retrieve data (possibly from Wikidata). I mainly use it for a project where I recently found some performance issues that could be resolved by either rewriting the query or changing the approach.
Procrastination, a common adversary in our daily lives, often leads to a backlog of tasks and ambitions. It’s a silent thief, stealthily stealing opportunities and time. You might have a stack of books on your bookshelf, longing to be read. Perhaps there’s a new language you’ve wanted to learn, or piles of paperwork cluttering your office that you’ve been meaning to organize.
Shortly following an update earlier this week, the Rogue Scholar science blog archive has updated or added two features today: better documentation and new comments.Documentation The Rogue Scholar documentation site was launched with the service but hasn't seen any updates in several months. Today I updated the platforms page, explaining what blogging platforms are used by the blogs participating in Rogue Scholar and how they are integrated.
Dear rOpenSci friends, it’s time for our monthly news roundup! You can read this post on our blog.Now let’s dive into the activity at and around rOpenSci! rOpenSci HQ Giving season: consider donating to rOpenSci This Giving Season consider donating to rOpenSci to support our mission of empowering Open Science.
The Rogue Scholar science blog archive launched two new features today: GUIDs (globally unique identifiers) and support for OECD Fields of Science and Technology. Globally unique identifiers (GUIDs) GUIDs are used to globally identify a blog post and are part of the RSS, Atom, and JSON Feed specifications.
In the spirit of “if it took you a while to find out how to do something, write about it”, I will detail a method to approximate the surface area of a 3D shape. Our application here was finding the surface area of a cell but it can be used on any shape. We start with a 3D point set, specified by points of interest in a single cell imaged by 3D confocal microscopy.
