Add a Caption to an Image
The ability to Interpret image data using software is advancing fast! The two images above are captioned with program generated text. Here's an article that describes concepts and an approach to generate a caption for an image. The code is written in Python and uses TensorFlow.
How to build and train an image caption generator using a TensorFlo...
"TensorFlow™ is an open source software library for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Nodes in the graph represent mathematical operations, while the graph edges represent the multidimensional data arrays (tensors) communicated between them. The flexible architecture allows you to deploy computation to one or more CPUs or GPUs in a desktop, server, or mobile device with a single API. TensorFlow was originally developed by researchers and engineers working on the Google Brain Team within Google's Machine Intelligence research organization for the purposes of conducting machine learning and deep neural networks research, but the system is general enough to be applicable in a wide variety of other domains as well." Here's a TensorFlow tutorial.

Presentation: Holistic Engineering: Organic Problem Solving for Complex Evolving Systems
Vanessa Formicola discusses how "invisible" forces shape our code and architecture. She shares patterns like "Cirque du Soleil coding" and "Shared Kitchen Sinks," explaining why technical problems often have social roots. Architects and leaders will learn how to use Social Decision Records (SDRs) and holistic modeling to make the implicit explicit and drive success.
By Vanessa FormicolaPodcast: Why Engineering Culture Is Everything: Building Teams That Actually Work
In this podcast, Shane Hastie, Lead Editor for Culture & Methods, spoke to Gonzalo (Glo) Maldonado about the central role of engineering culture, measuring team health through qualitative metrics, and learning from other engineering disciplines.
By Gonzalo (Glo) MaldonadoTaking the Technical Leadership Path
Technical leaders face challenges beyond individual contributor work: aligning with business on investments, managing systemic aspects, mentoring, and keeping up with a changing codebase. We need technical alignment—shared codestyle, implementation patterns, and standards—to avoid accidental complexity. Leadership grows through practicing skills, improving team issues, and acting as a role model.

AWS has raised EC2 Capacity Block prices for ML by 15% across all regions, impacting GPU-based workloads. The uniform price hikes affect top-tier instances powered by NVIDIA GPUs, underscoring supply chain pressures and inflation. With limited alternatives, organizations face higher costs, emphasizing the need for effective workload optimization and cost management strategies.
