Unraveling the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) for Medical Device Manufacturers

The medical device industry is a highly regulated space, with manufacturers having to adhere to numerous guidelines and regulations set forth by regulatory bodies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). One such critical regulation is the Quality System Regulation (QSR) in 21 CFR Part 820, which mandates manufacturers to establish and maintain proceduresContinue reading “Unraveling the FDA’s Quality System Regulation (QSR) for Medical Device Manufacturers”

What makes GPT?

The key GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer) concepts start with Transformer Architecture, Large Scale Language Models, and Fine-tuning. Transformer Architecture The Transformer architecture is a type of model architecture used in natural language processing tasks. It was introduced in the paper “Attention is All You Need” by Vaswani et al (https://arxiv.org/abs/1706.03762). The key innovation of theContinue reading “What makes GPT?”

He was born on June 23, 1912, and is widely considered one of the pioneers of modern computer science and artificial intelligence. During World War II, Turing played a crucial role in the British code-breaking effortsContinue reading “Alan Turing”

The Turing Test

The Turing Test is a measure of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behavior, similar to or indistinguishable from that of a human. Proposed by the British mathematician Alan Turing in 1950, the test involves a human evaluator who interacts with a machine and a human through a computer interface. If the evaluator cannot consistentlyContinue reading “The Turing Test”
