D Are there any papers on optimization-based approaches which combine learned parameter initializations with learned optimisers?

There are quite a few papers on optimisation-based meta-learning approaches for learning parameter initialisations (i.e. MAML and its derivatives) [1, 2\], and there are also many papers on learning optimisers [3\].

Question: Are there any papers which combine the two?

I am aware of some papers such as [4, 5\] which achieve this in some capacity indirectly/implicitly, but wondering if there are any other papers that I am not aware of, or do this explicitly? Thanks in advance.

Is it still relevant today to take a Python and Pandas course that was created two years ago?

I'm learning Python nowadays and I'm taking this course on freecodecamp

Is is still relevant today or a lot of things have changed in Python and Pandas?

I'm coming from R language so I have experience in R, SQL and Tableau. I chose this one because I liked the way they teach the course (there are projects).

I really appreciate your suggestions for other courses.

The interest here is in Data Analysis/Science and Automation. (If someone has taken this path before)

I really appreciate any help and thank you for your time.

Create web app to manage sql tables

I am wondering if there is an out of the box solution to this for django already.

I want to give users of our organization an easy way to manipulate sql tables through a django interface. The things I would need it to do are these:

1. Have CRUD capabilities and connect to databases with sql tables.
2. Use our windows Active Directory for user sign in.

I was looking at using .net core 6 and blazor as an alternative as well. Any thoughts?

Django Values queryset returns table id instead of the actual text in template

Hope everyone is doing great,

I have a queryset :

price = Price.objects.values('part', 'seller').annotate(latest_report=Max('added'))

How do you delete expired sessions?

I have a hosted django app and found out there are some old expired sessions as old as 2018.

Is it a good practice to delete expired sessions?

What is the usual strategy to delete expired sessions?
May be a CRON job, or run the "clearsessions" management command for every deployment, etc...?

Any there any problems/pitfalls with deleting expired sessions?

Unique field not throwing graceful ValidationError

Creating API app. Field in question:

phone = models.CharField(max_length=20, null=True, unique=True, error_messages={"unique": "A user with that phone number already exists, please login."})

I ran the migration and its clearly being enforced when I try to create a user with the same phone, but why not gracefully (see below) like email does?

OUTPUT

API: 422 output to API but no error message

Server log: [Long stack trace\] django.db.utils.IntegrityError: duplicate key value violates unique constraint + INTERNAL SERVER ERROR given

How could we do a reliable social authentication api with custom user model?

I've been wanting to make a vue/ionic mobile app with django as the backend and I wanted to make 3 sign in options (google, facebook, email).
I have implemented the email sign up/log in api with simpleJWT. I then tried to use django-allauth to make the facebook and google auth but I discovered that they have their own views and not very good documentation for customizing the views.

I found the dj-rest-auth as a method of making a rest auth api, unfortunately when using the documentation I have this error coming up.

is there a way to either fix this issue or maybe there's a different implementation I should do?

also how can I register custom users while using social auth? registering accounts with socialaccounts fills the user form automatically and I want to ask the user to add certain fields like gender and birthday etc.

any sort of help or sources or demos would be appreciated.

Extracting pdf page count corrupts attachment

I am developing a Django website, wherein I have a django form that collects some data and a file from the user, and then mail the response to a mail ID. If the file happens to be a PDF, the form is supposed to automatically get its page count and add it to the mail body.

I am able to successfully isolate pdf files and even get the page count value correctly, the process of getting page count seems to corrupt the pdf file when it is attached to the email.

Emailing is being handled with django email, and I have tried to read page count using PyPDF2 and pdfminer, but both give the same outcome. The file is not being stored to any database.

What should I do?

EDIT: Problem solved. Thanks all!
