Data Science

I just finished a Deep Learning course at my university. One of the project that we needed to undertake was a reproducibility project, where my group mates and I try to reproduce a Deep Learning paper ’s code and results without checking its available code. I suggest you to read the original blog post. Something that I am especially proud of is the interactive plot in the blog post where you can see in real time the learning process and the corresponding resulting image. [Read More]

The puzzle My roomate bought me a kid puzzle, from the second hand shop. The puzzle consists in putting the puzzle pieces in a 3x3 grid, such that all the animals on the edges match.

I already gave up on the puzzle after 5 min of trial, after I realized there are \(9! [Read More]

What is an ILP (Integer Linear Program) Introduction ILP stands for integer linear program. ILP are special way of stating an optimization problem for an ILP solver to solve. ILP are formulated such that there are a certain number of variables defined, there is an objective function that we want to maximize or minimize and there are linear constrains to the variables. What does the objective function usually look like? [Read More]
