Optimization (4/n): Genetic Algorithm(s) (2/3)
Intro This week, I’ll make it short, and instead of boring with code and explanations, I thought I’d just show an example output… Results This is a genetic algorithm in action: A population “evolves” (reproduces, “selection of the fittest”, iterate) towards an objective. Complexity of many local minima don’t seem to be an issue for…

Optimization (2/n): Gradient Descent
Intro So I keep going with the reference book for a while. BTW, the book can be found here (NOT a referral or anything, I don’t make money out of this, it’s just a pointer to one place you can find it). And yes, the book is in Spanish… So one of the first algorithms…

Summer fun: Testing Optimization Algorithms (1/n)
Intro I have some more spare time for the upcoming few weeks, and I haven’t had the opportunity to take the “Metaheuristics” course in the Master, and so I feel I’m missing out a bit… But then, what precludes me from learning on my own? So I came across a book (I spend a bit…
