" When I first about transient shaper, I was like whats the difference with a compressor? Is there one?. And I tried to see how to get these transient without relying on the transient energy, with a relative power (ratio between the instant power and the mean power) filter, or its derivative, but nothing worked. Until someone exp... View More
" The week 5 began with a discussion with whether we should deprecate params . I fixed some bugs in checking functions, random number generator and one of covariance updating methods. In the following days, I completed the main functions of GaussianMixutre and all test cases, except AIC, BIC and sampling functions. The test... View More
" From The Book of Strange New Things : I said that if science could come up with something like the Jump it could surely solve a problem like that. Severin seized hold of that word, science. Science, he said, is not some mysterious larger-than-life force, its just the name we give to bright ideas that individual guys have ... View More
" Using Fortran code from Python is an old story. The major player in the game isf2py that is used in NumPy , the array library forPython. f2py being used in the SciPy library, it is widelydistributed. The point of f2py is to assist a developer to embed regular Fortran code in aPython module. f2py was developped before the ... View More
" This work is supported by Continuum Analytics and the XDATA Program as part of the Blaze Project tl;dr: We discuss the use of complex dask graphs for non-trivial algorithms.We show off an on-disk parallel SVD. Most Parallel Computation is Simple Most parallel workloads today are fairly trivial: >... View More
" (This is a review of Large-Scale Search of Transcriptomic Read Setswith Sequence Bloom Trees , Solomon andKingsford, 2015.)
