Azure - Read-access geo-redundant storage

Read-access geo-redundant storage (RA-GRS) maximizes availability for your storage account, by providing read-only access to the data in the secondary location, in addition to the replication across two regions provided by GRS. In the event that data becomes unavailable in the primary region, your application can read data from the secondary region.

When you enable read-only access to your data in the secondary region, your data is available on a secondary endpoint, in addition to the primary endpoint for your storage account. The secondary endpoint is similar to the primary endpoint, but appends the suffix –secondary to the account name. For example, if your primary endpoint for the Blob service ismyaccount.blob.core.windows.net, then your secondary endpoint is myaccount-secondary.blob.core.windows.net. The access keys for your storage account are the same for both the primary and secondary endpoints.

How are vector databases used?

  Vector Databases Usage: Typically used for vector search use cases such as visual, semantic, and multimodal search. More recently, they are paired with generative AI text models for conversational search experiences. Development Process: Begins with building an embedding model designed to encode a corpus (e.g., product images) into vectors. The data import process is referred to as data hydration. Application Development: Application developers utilize the database to search for similar products. This involves encoding a product image and using the vector to query for similar images. k-Nearest Neighbor (k-NN) Indexes: Within the model, k-nearest neighbor (k-NN) indexes facilitate efficient retrieval of vectors. A distance function like cosine is applied to rank results by similarity.

Feature Engineering - What and Why

Feature engineering is a crucial step in the machine learning pipeline where you create new, meaningful features or transform existing features to improve the performance of your predictive models. It involves selecting, modifying, or creating features from your raw data to make it more suitable for machine learning algorithms. Here's a more detailed overview of feature engineering: Why Feature Engineering? Feature engineering is essential for several reasons: Improving Model Performance: Well-engineered features can significantly boost the predictive power of your machine learning models. Handling Raw Data: Raw data often contains noise, missing values, and irrelevant information. Feature engineering helps in cleaning and preparing the data for analysis. Capturing Domain Knowledge: Domain-specific insights can be incorporated into feature creation to make the model more representative of the problem. Common Techniques and Strategies: 1. Feature Extraction: Transforming raw data
