Hey! I got the article about GeneBench published in a super cool journal I strongly recommend Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine

Hey! I paused writing on my blog for some time now, as a lot of other things came up. This article is a small one that just introduces a new library/framework I have released called GeneBench
Hey guys, I created a web visualization for w2vec translated text. It basically generates a picture from your text using w2vec representations for words and a chosen palette.
I created a small web app that helps birders get better at recognizing birds: quizz.sor.ro
I have created a library used for interfacing with Gutenberg from python code. This is the first article about GutenbergPy
First, let me tell you about the newsletter button I added :D . You can subscribe to get notified when I post :). It’s down and right, please feel compelled to press it :D .
The road to wisdom?—Well, it’s plain
and simple to express:
Err
and err

but less

Sometimes I spend all day trying to count
the leaves on a single tree. To do this I
have to climb branch by branch and
write down the numbers in a little book.
So I suppose, from their point of view,
it’s reasonable that my friends say: what
foolishness! She’s got her head in the clouds

But it’s not. Of course I have to give up,
but by then I’m half crazy with the wonder
of it — the abundance of the leaves, the
quietness of the branches, the hopelessness
of my effort. And I am in that delicious
and important place, roaring with laughter,
full of earth-praise.

I enjoyed great walks in the park, but naturally I started thinking about: what would it take for a machine to detect leafs in a picture. I actually don’t know how natural this thought is :)) but I said it’s a good problem for the weekend, brushing up on my maths and maybe if I could write it in a tutorial manner it could help somebody.
This article will not be about poems, of course, but instead it will be about implementing a technique that enables you to get to where you want to be :). Following the MUI article I felt like I needed to do something about nonlinear optimizations.
The Goal: Given a starting “sentence” (string) reach the goal “sentence” (string) by only applying the rules below.
x and y represent any character strings and M, U, I represent the actual letters, the arrow may be read as “becomes”.
For example the first rule can be read: Any string that ends in M becomes M and two times the reminder.
Try it, I will be waiting here :).
This is an introductory article about a social artificial intelligence artistmachine42 I am developing in my spare time and it will not contain a lot of math (unfortunately). More in depth articles will follow.
This is it’s most successfull post so far:
Children (light blue) and parents(dark blue) run in the same generation simulation. The red car is the current best individual, the white ones are the old best individual (evaluated in the same generation).
This is about circle parametrization.
Check the google spreadsheet here
In programming and engineering in general we need to generate circles or circle like shapes. Often we need the circle points for all kinds of stuff, like drawing or object placement or procedural generation, interpolation etc. Let’s take a …
