[Solved] Uvicorn Closed In Container - HTTP connection lost. Shutting down, exit 0

Last Updated on 2024-10-14 by Clay

Problem Description

Today, while I was using podman to create a container (from a FastAPI image) to run my FastAPI service, I encountered an issue where the container would automatically stop if the user logged out or if there were no HTTP POST requests sent to the API for a while. After some time, the service would stop.

Notes on Fine-Tuning a Multi-Modal Large Language Model Using SFTTrainer (Taking LLaVa-1.5 as an Example)

Last Updated on 2024-10-08 by Clay

A multi-modal large language model (Multi-Modal Large Language Model) isn’t limited to text only. I know this might sound contradictory, but this is a term that has become widely accepted. What I want to document today is how to fine-tune a multi-modal model using a script.

"Common sense, as people call it, is merely the biases learned during youth"—the training data for AI models is no different

Last Updated on 2024-10-06 by Clay

This year, due to work, I tried annotating the data myself; it was only after diving into it personally that I truly understood just how profoundly training data affects an AI model.

[Python] Extracting Text from PPT Using the python-pptx Library

Last Updated on 2024-10-04 by Clay

Introduction

Recently, while handling some work-related matters, I noticed that the client might potentially need a way to extract text from PPT files. I discussed this with the PM and my supervisor, and they mentioned that the client could simply copy the text from the PPT slides manually. Unless the client explicitly requests us to extract it programmatically.

[Machine Learning] Vector Quantization (VQ) Notes

Last Updated on 2024-10-03 by Clay

The first time I heard about Vector Quantization (VQ) was from a friend who was working on audio processing, which gave me a vague understanding that VQ is a technique used for data feature compression and representation. At that time, I still wasn't clear on how it differed from dimensionality reduction techniques like PCA.

[Linux] Use the batcat Command as a Replacement for cat, Highlighting Code or Configurations

Last Updated on 2024-10-02 by Clay

batcat or simply bat, is a replacement tool for the cat command. It retains the functionality of cat for displaying files, while also highlighting keywords in code or configuration files, making it more convenient for developers to browse daily tasks or code files (thus, it's definitely a productivity tool!).
