Using OpenAI from Mathematica

Mathematica was among the first to integrate with OpenAI. The functionality is nicely exposed in terms of a few pre-defined functions. Let us explore some of the functionality in today’s article. The simplest way to get started is to use LLMSynthesize function: It can take a few seconds before you get the answer. If this is […]

Using Streamlit to Create Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ)

Is it possible to build a web application in Python to display (and evaluate) multiple-choice questions? Even more importantly, can we render “latex”  equations as part of the MCQ? After briefly looking at NiceGUI, Flet, Solara, Trame, and Streamlit, I decided to go ahead with Streamlit to build this web app.  Even though this was […]

The Hy Programming Language – Part 2

I wrote about “Hy” language in an earlier article. Since then I have been exploring the language some more, trying to get a better understanding of its features.  The following example uses inheritance to model different types of “Space” objects such as Asteroid, SpaceShip and Planet. It is taken from an earlier article that explained […]

Using Similarity Search in Homeopathy Repertorization Software – Part 2

In my earlier article, I had explained how natural language text describing a symptom can be converted to a formal “rubric” by using a vector database. In today’s article, I will show how this can be extended to support multiple symptoms in the input text with automatic repertorisation to identify potential remedies. Let us consider […]

Using Similarity Search in Homeopathy Repertorization Software

Homeopathy Repertorization software such as RadarOpus, MacRepertory, Vithoulkas Compass, and Synergy Homeopathic Software (SHS) are widely used by homeopaths to speed up case taking, repertorization and case analysis. All of them have a “Search” feature, where the given text is searched (typically based on key words and synonyms) against one or more repertories and the […]

The Hy Programming Language

In an earlier article I had explained how to execute Python code from within Common Lisp using “CLPython” package. In contrast to that approach, “Hy” is a Lisp-style language (not compatible with Common Lisp) that is embedded in Python and hence provides seamless interoperability with Python code. Installation is straightforward (it is usually a good idea to […]

Homeopathy Case Analysis Using Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Homeopathy Case Analysis Using Retrieval-Augmented Generation

Homeopaths, after detailed case taking, usually ‘“repertorize”  the case using software such as RadarOpus, MacRepertory, Vithoulkas Compass, etc., and finally consult a Materia Medica to confirm the remedy selection. There are some highly experienced homeopaths who have the gift of identifying the correct remedy without even repertorizing the case, but this is rare. In general, […]

Generating Polynomials – Part 2

In my last article, I showed how we can use Prolog to generate univariate Polynomials. After I finished that article, I wanted to try Lisp for the same task. Prolog is “declarative”, whereas Lisp is primarily “functional” (it supports OOP as well), so the implementation will exhibit that difference. Here is the primary function generate-polynomial […]

Generating Polynomials in Prolog

Polynomial is an important topic in High School maths curriculum. There are many online courses that explain the topic in great details with lots of examples and sample exercises. Wouldn’t it be interesting if we can generate polynomials of given degree programmatically? It turns out that this is not such a hard problem after all. […]
