The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book

Everything you really need to know in Machine Learning in a hundred pages.

This #paperOfTheDay is #computerScience : "A polynomial time, numerically stable integer relation algorithm" from 1992. This is the article that introduces the PSLQ algorithm.
Given a n-component vector of real numbers x=(x_1, ..., x_n), an integer relation is a vector of integers (m_1, ..., m_n) such that m_1*x_1 + ... +m_n*x_n=0. Phrased differently, this means that one of the entries of x is a linear combination of the other entries, with rational coefficients. The task is to either find this integer vector m, or to establish that no such vector exists with entries below a certain size (since the numbers x are given to finite floating-point precision, it is always possible to find some vector m with gigantic numeric values: Say they have 100 digits, then multiply x by 10^100, and the resulting numbers will be integers within the given precision).
Before PSLQ, there had been algorithms, most notably LLL and HJLS, for the same task. The great innovation of PSLQ is the "numerically stable": It does not require much more digits for internal computations than then input data has, and it is reliable in determining that no relation exists below a given threshold. By this, it is effectively also faster than previous algorithms, because it can run at lower floating point accuracy.
PSLQ has important applications in perturbative #QuantumFieldTheory and broader #physics : Often one has complicated integrals, where one knows that the result is some rational linear combination of a finite number of transcendentals (e.g. pi, e, Values of the zeta function, sqrt(2), log(2), etc). Then, one can solve the integral numerically, and use PSLQ to find the linear combination. https://www.davidhbailey.com/dhbpapers/pslq.pdf

@JensB @chronohh #trailblazer :: "There is a new profession of trail blazers, those who find delight in the task of
establishing useful trails through the enormous mass of the common record. The inheritance from the
master becomes, not only his additions to the world's record, but for his disciples the entire scaffolding by
which they were erected." – Vannevar Bush 1945

There's a lot of unpleasant things I can say about the University of Washington and its shrivelled #Chemistry department, but at least I learned quite a bit of new stuff while I was there, fundamental knowledge about analytical chemistry and other things. The #Classics degree I credit with teaching me how to write and think in a reasoned, educated way, and with giving me a taste of civilization: I am hardly L'Uomo Universale (scarcely anyone is, aside from Leonardo da Vinci-chan) but my Classics degree opened my eyes, as they had not been previously opened, to the benefits of a truly general #education.

And then, there's my #computerscience degree, which got me a couple jobs, up until I left Amazon dot com under my own power in mid-2001, whence nobody in the #tech sector wanted to hire me for anything, because they regarded me as a quitter. I was actually told that explicitly at one interview. So the vocational pseudo-degree I'd gotten for the sole purpose of making myself employable was now worthless.

#OOP. Yeah it's got a weensy bit of currency as a hashtag here.

I am slightly unusual in having three degrees, covering all three major divisions of U.S. "higher #education":

1) the sciences, with my #chemistry degree;

2) the humanities, with my #Classics degree;

3) (by far the biggest division of U.S. college schooling) vocational pseudo-disciplines, with my SDSU #computerscience degree.

I'm working on a TUI for students to explore topics of theoretical computer science. Set theory and propositional logic are done. So a lot is still missing but the first version is published on crates.io

When you remember the #novel you're reading is written by a computer-science prof it suddenly makes sense.
