Generating and Videolizing Agglomerative Processes
This short article explains how to efficiently simulate the evolution of agglomerative processes, and visualize their behavior with data animations. I use a generic, simple model for illustration purposes: atoms, initially consisting of one electron, collide and merge over time, with a pre-specified maximum number of electrons per atom: the maximum limit. Given enough time, […]

Math-free, Parameter-free Gradient Descent in Python
Entitled “Math-free, Parameter-free Gradient Descent in Python”, the full version in PDF format is accessible in the “Free Books and Articles” section, here. I discuss techniques related to the gradient descent method in 2D. The goal is to find the minima of a target function, called the cost function. The values of the function are computed at […]

New Book: Synthetic Data and Generative AI
Synthetic data is used more and more to augment real-life datasets, enriching them and allowing black-box systems to correctly classify observations or predict values that are well outside of training and validation sets. In addition, it helps understand decisions made by obscure systems such as deep neural networks, contributing to the development of explainable AI. […]
