Background

Let’s recall the general types of pretrained transformer frameworks, which generally includes

  • Autoencoding models (e.g., BERT): which are generally for NLU tasks.
  • Autoregressive models (e.g., GPT): which are for unconditional text generation.
  • Encoder-decoder models (e.g., T5): which are for conditional text generation.
Examples for different transformer-based frameworks.

C++ block

int main(int argc, char const \*argv[])
{
    string myString;

    cout << "input a string: ";
    getline(cin, myString);
    int length = myString.length();

    char charArray = new char * [length];

    charArray = myString;
    for(int i = 0; i < length; ++i){
        cout << charArray[i] << " ";
    }

    return 0;
}

Block in nested bullets

  1. We can put fenced code blocks inside nested bullets, too.
    1. Like this: 
      printf("Hello, World!");
    2. The key is to indent your fenced block in the same line as the first character of the line.

Display line numbers for a specific code block, wrap your code in a liquid tag.

Images

Two images in a single line

A simple, elegant caption looks good between image rows, after each row, or doesn't have to be there at all.

Simply add a zoomable so that each image can be expanded

Videos

Display local videos

A simple, elegant caption looks good between video rows, after each row, or doesn't have to be there at all.

It does also support embedding videos from different sources. Here are some examples:

Audios

This is an example post with audios. It supports local audio files or online downloadable audio.

A simple, elegant caption looks good between video rows, after each row, or doesn't have to be there at all.

Math and Equations

Inline equation is supported by using MathJax 3 engine.

$$ E = mc^2 $$ will produce \(E = mc^2\)

To use display mode, again surround your expression with $$ and place it as a separate paragraph. Here is an example:

\[\sum_{k=1}^\infty |\langle x, e_k \rangle|^2 \leq \|x\|^2\]

You can also use \begin{equation}...\end{equation} instead of $$ for display mode math. MathJax will automatically number equations:

\begin{equation} \label{eq:cauchy-schwarz} \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k b_k \right)^2 \leq \left( \sum_{k=1}^n a_k^2 \right) \left( \sum_{k=1}^n b_k^2 \right) \end{equation}

and by adding \label{...} inside the equation environment, we can now refer to the equation using \eqref.

Diagrams

This theme supports generating various diagrams from a text description using jekyll-diagrams plugin. Below, we generate a few examples of such diagrams using languages such as mermaid, plantuml, vega-lite, etc.

Example of using mermaid.

Install mermaid using node.js package manager npm by running the following command:

npm install -g mermaid.cli

The diagram below was generated by the following code:

{% mermaid %}
sequenceDiagram
    participant John
    participant Alice
    Alice->>John: Hello John, how are you?
    John-->>Alice: Great!
{% endmermaid %}
JohnAliceHello John, how are you?Great!JohnAlice
Quote
We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another, unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. —Anais Nin

Customize the block: define them at _sass/_base.scss file. Specially, with modifying the following part

/* Tips, warnings, and dangers */
.post .post-content blockquote {
    &.block-tip {
    border-color: var(--global-tip-block);
    background-color: var(--global-tip-block-bg);

    p {
      color: var(--global-tip-block-text);
    }

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
      color: var(--global-tip-block-title);
    }
  }

  &.block-warning {
    border-color: var(--global-warning-block);
    background-color: var(--global-warning-block-bg);

    p {
      color: var(--global-warning-block-text);
    }

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
      color: var(--global-warning-block-title);
    }
  }

  &.block-danger {
    border-color: var(--global-danger-block);
    background-color: var(--global-danger-block-bg);

    p {
      color: var(--global-danger-block-text);
    }

    h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6 {
      color: var(--global-danger-block-title);
    }
  }
}

A regular blockquote can be used as following:

> This is a regular blockquote
> and it can be used as usual

This is a regular blockquote and it can be used as usual

These custom styles can be used by adding the specific class to the blockquote, as follows:

> ##### TIP
>
> A tip can be used when you want to give advice
> related to a certain content.
{: .block-tip }
TIP

A tip can be used when you want to give advice related to a certain content.

> ##### WARNING
>
> This is a warning, and thus should
> be used when you want to warn the user
{: .block-warning }
WARNING

This is a warning, and thus should be used when you want to warn the user

> ##### DANGER
>
> This is a danger zone, and thus should
> be used carefully
{: .block-danger }
DANGER

This is a danger zone, and thus should be used carefully

Github meta data

What does Github-MetaData do?

  • Propagates the site.github namespace with repository metadata
  • Setting site variables :
    • site.title
    • site.description
    • site.url
    • site.baseurl
  • Accessing the metadata - duh.
  • Generating edittable links.

Additional Reading

  • If you’re recieving incorrect/missing data, you may need to perform a Github API authentication.
  • Go through this README for more details on the topic.
  • This page highlights all the feilds you can access with github-metadata.
