Web scraping, also known as web harvesting or web data extraction , refers to the process of automatically gathering and extracting information from websites using bots or web crawlers. Unlike screen scraping, which captures visual data displayed on a screen, web scraping involves accessing a website's underlying HTML code and extracting data stored in its database. This method is widely used for efficiently collecting and organizing vast amounts of data from the internet. Custom scripts are created to interact with a website's Document Object Model (DOM) structure when performing web scraping. However, this approach can be complex and requires a solid understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Even minor changes to a website's structure can disrupt these custom scripts' functionality, resulting in frequent maintenance. Various tools have been developed to facilitate web scraping processes. Some commonly used libraries for developers include BeautifulSoup, Scrapy, ...

Deploying large language models (LLMs) has presented a significant obstacle for developers and researchers as these models continue to increase in complexity and size. The challenge lies in ensuring that they operate efficiently across various platforms, from personal computers to mobile devices and servers, while also maintaining high performance within the limitations of different hardware, such as GPUs and CPUs. Traditionally, the approach to handling the computational demands of LLMs has involved using high-end servers or cloud-based platforms. While effective, these methods often come with substantial costs and resource requirements. Furthermore, deploying models to edge devices like mobile phones or tablets has remained a complex process that demands expertise in machine learning and hardware-specific optimization techniques. A novel solution addressing these challenges is MLC LLM - a machine learning compiler and deployment engine designed to optimize and deploy LLMs nativ...
