  • 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…

  • When to parallelize and when not to

    Intro I have finally delivered my last term paper for this year (one last year to go). It was about simulating traffic using graphs, onsets of congestion and the likes. Once again, the smallest graph was of order 4000+, and once again I had to work with MonteCarlo approach on 1000+ time steps for each…
