It's time to share my visit to the magical place 'Machu Picchu' 馃
Early in the morning, around 5:30 am, I boarded the bus that brought me (and all the other tourists) up the mountain to the entrance of Machu Picchu. I was so happy that the rain had stopped by the time we arrived. At 6 o'clock, the gate opened and I could enter the sacred place with the first group of visitors. The thick white clouds and fog were still hanging very low and covered the 'lost city of the Incas' entirely. After a while, the clouds and fog revealed the famous view. It was a truly magical moment! 馃グ
I can't tell you a lot about the three hour visit. I can not really put it in words. I was just incredibly in awe and so so grateful to be there 馃挅
Here some facts:
The site was built in the 15th century, during the height of the Inca Empire, and is believed to have been constructed as a royal estate or religious retreat for the Inca emperor Pachacuti.
Machu Picchu was largely forgotten by the outside world until it was rediscovered in 1911 by the American historian and explorer Hiram Bingham, who brought the site to international attention. In 1983, Machu Picchu was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The site holds great spiritual and cultural significance for the Quechua people.

!["a hybrid methodology has emerged [18]. It cleverly marries the rapid categorization capabilities of zero-shot classification with the precision of traditional machine learning models such as SVM and RF. Here, zero-shot classification provides an initial curation of all abstracts in the training set. Then, based on zero-shot classification鈥檚 curation, the abstracts with classification score higher than a pre-specified threshold are selected to undergo manual review to rectify zero-shot classification. The rectified classification then serves as a foundation for training traditional models, which are then employed for screening the broader dataset (e.g., in the testing set). The hybrid approach balances the speed of zero-shot and the precision of traditional ML, and potentially offers enhanced accuracy at reduced human efforts. However, this approach involves the use of multiple methodologies and still relies on well-curated, labeled training data...."](https://nerdculture.de/system/media_attachments/files/115/842/464/769/473/492/original/3c85d64c786fc0e2.png)
