This notebook provides an example of how to prompt Gemini 1.5 Pro using an audio file. In this case, you'll use a sound recording of President John F. Kennedy’s 1961 State of the Union address.

Use System instructions in chat

Use System instructions in chat

System instructions allow you to steer the behavior of the model. By setting the system instruction, you are giving the model additional context to understand the task, provide more customized responses, and adhere to guidelines over the user interaction.

Function calling

Function calling

Using function calling allows you to control how the Gemini API acts when tools have been specified.

Prompting with a text file

Prompting with a text file

This notebook provides a quick example of how to prompt Gemini 1.5 Pro using a text file. In this case, you'll use a 400 page transcript from Apollo 11.

Compare Gemini and ChatGPT responses

Compare Gemini and ChatGPT responses

Use Google's latest model release, Gemini, to teach you what you want to know and compare those with ChatGPT's responses. The models are specifically prompted not to generate extra text to make it easier to compare any differences.

AI & Machine Learning

This notebook classifies movie reviews as positive or negative using the text of the review. This is an example of binary—or two-class—classification, an important and widely applicable kind of machine learning problem.

Multilingual Universal Sentence Encoder Q&A Retrieval

Multilingual Universal Sentence Encoder Q&A Retrieval

Demo for using Universal Encoder Multilingual Q&A model for question-answer retrieval of text, illustrating the use of question_encoder and response_encoder of the model.

Create and Train a Custom RL Agent

Create and Train a Custom RL Agent

This colab demonstrates how to create a variant of a provided agent (Example 1) and how to create a new agent from scratch (Example 2).

Visualize RL Agent Training on TensorBoard

Visualize RL Agent Training on TensorBoard

This colab allows you to easily view the trained baselines with Tensorboard (even if you don't have Tensorboard on your local machine!). Simply specify the game you would like to visualize and then run the cells in order.

Hyperparameter Tuning with Tensorboard

Hyperparameter Tuning with Tensorboard

The HParams dashboard in TensorBoard provides several tools to help with this process of identifying the best experiment or most promising sets of hyperparameters.

Data & Analytics

10 Minutes to RAPIDS cuDF's pandas accelerator mode

10 Minutes to RAPIDS cuDF's pandas accelerator mode

cuDF is a Python GPU DataFrame library for loading, joining, aggregating, filtering, and otherwise manipulating tabular data using a DataFrame style API in the style of pandas.

Working with time series in Python

Working with time series in Python

This notebook introduces how to work with timestamps, time intervals, periods, time deltas, and durations.

Twitter Pulse Checker

Twitter Pulse Checker

This is a quick and dirty way to get a sense of what's trending on Twitter related to a particular Topic. For my use case, I am focusing on the city of Seattle but you can easily apply this to any topic.

Cloud Computing

Colab + BigQuery — Perfect Together

Colab + BigQuery — Perfect Together

The goal of this Colab notebook is to highlight some benefits of using Google BigQuery and Colab together to perform some common data science tasks.

Online prediction with BigQuery ML

Online prediction with BigQuery ML

In this tutorial, you learn how to train and deploy a churn prediction model for real-time inference, with the data in BigQuery and model trained using BigQuery ML, registered to Vertex AI Model Registry, and deployed to an endpoint on Vertex AI for online predictions.

Serving PyTorch image models with prebuilt containers on Vertex AI

Serving PyTorch image models with prebuilt containers on Vertex AI

In this tutorial, you learn how to package and deploy a PyTorch image classification model using a prebuilt Vertex AI container with TorchServe for serving online and batch predictions.

AutoML training tabular binary classification model for batch explanation

AutoML training tabular binary classification model for batch explanation

In this tutorial, you learn to use AutoML to create a tabular binary classification model from a Python script, and then learn to use Vertex AI Batch Prediction to make predictions with explanations.

Data Visualization

Explore Patent Database with ML

Explore Patent Database with ML

Patent landscaping is an analytical approach commonly used by corporations, patent offices, and academics to better understand the potential technical coverage of a large number of patents where manual review (i.e., actually reading the patents) is not feasible due to time or cost constraints.

mediapy

Read, write, and show images and videos in a Colab notebook

Visualize Chemical Structures in a Notebook

Visualize Chemical Structures in a Notebook

Molecules can be represented as strings with SMILES. Simplified molecular-input line-entry system (SMILES) is a string based representation of a molecule.

Exploratory Data Analysis with Python

Exploratory Data Analysis with Python

Exploratory Data Analysis or (EDA) is understanding the data sets by summarizing their main characteristics and, usually, plotting them visually.
