Mixture of Experts - Has open-source caught up with OpenAI?

Understanding Neural Networks with Iris Dataset

Understanding Neural Networks with Iris Dataset Today we will specifically look at implementing solutions to classification problems. A classification problem is where we are trying to categorise our input into two or more discrete categories. For example we could be categorising hand drawn numbers, that’s A-Z, a-z, 0-9 - This would be a multiclass classification problem with 62 classes. On the other hand, if we are classifying between malignant skin marks vs benign - this would be a binary classification problem.

An Introduction to PWN Challenges

An Introduction to PWN Challenges PWN challenges are a type of CTF challenge that require you to exploit a binary typically running on a remote server. This can be done by exploiting a vulnerability in the binary, or by using a vulnerability in the binary to gain access to the system. Often, PWN challenges will require you to gain access to a remote server, and then exploit the binary on that server.
