C4: Container, Code, Cloud & Context
Designing intelligent systems, one layer at a time. ~ Nithin Mohan T K
After two decades of building data systems, I’ve watched Natural Language Processing evolve from a research curiosity into an indispensable tool for extracting value from the vast ocean of unstructured text that enterprises generate daily. The convergence of transformer architectures, cloud-scale computing, and mature NLP libraries has fundamentally changed how we approach data analytics, enabling… Continue reading
After two decades of building conversational systems, I have watched the chatbot landscape transform from simple rule-based decision trees to sophisticated AI-powered agents capable of nuanced, context-aware dialogue. The explosion of generative AI frameworks has created both unprecedented opportunities and significant decision paralysis for engineering teams. This guide distills my production experience across dozens of… Continue reading
After two decades of building language-aware systems, I have witnessed the most profound transformation in how machines understand and generate human language. The emergence of generative AI has fundamentally altered the NLP landscape, moving us from rigid rule-based systems to fluid, context-aware models that can engage in nuanced dialogue, create compelling content, and reason about… Continue reading
Introduction Welcome to a fascinating journey into the world of AI innovation! Today, we delve into the realm of Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) – a cutting-edge technique revolutionizing the way AI systems interact with external knowledge. Imagine a world where artificial intelligence not only generates text but also taps into vast repositories of information to deliver… Continue reading
The moment I truly understood tokenization was not when I read about it in a textbook, but when I watched a production NLP pipeline fail catastrophically because of an edge case the tokenizer could not handle. After two decades of building enterprise systems, I have learned that tokenization—the seemingly simple act of breaking text into… Continue reading
