Spiral Dynamics Optimization with Python Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research explains how to implement a geometry-inspired optimization technique called spiral dynamics optimization (SDO), an ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research shows how to implement simulated annealing for the Traveling Salesman Problem (find the best ordering of a set of discrete items). The goal of a combinatorial ...

Learn how to implement the Adadelta optimization algorithm from scratch in Python. This tutorial explains the math behind ...

If you’ve ever written any Python at all, the chances are you’ve used iterators without even realising it. Writing your own and using them in your programs can provide significant performance ...

Python is convenient and flexible, yet notably slower than other languages for raw computational speed. The Python ecosystem has compensated with tools that make crunching numbers at scale in Python ...

In the following example, we loop through a list of numbers, and use the variable digit to hold each number in turn: Strings in Python are considered “sequences” — they can be iterated over, and the ...
