New Book: 0 and 1 – From Elemental Math to Quantum AI
The book is available on our E-store, here. It all started with the number 1. This e-book offers a trip deep into the most elusive and fascinating multi-century old conjecture in number theory: are the binary digits of the fundamental math constants evenly distributed? No one even knows if the proportions of ‘0’ and ‘1’ […]

Visualizing Trading Strategies that Consistently Outperform the Stock Market
In this short paper, I discuss two topics. First, strategies to trade the S&P 500 index with few trades over long time periods, offering best exit, entry and re-entry points during the journey, to beat the baseline return. The baseline consists of staying long the whole time. The dataset has 40 years’ worth of daily […]

Sampling Outside the Observation Range with Quantile Convolution
All of the GenAI apps that I tested, including my own, have the same problem. They cannot easily generate data outside the observation range. As an example, let’s focus on the insurance dataset discussed in my new book. I use it to generate synthetic data with GAN (generative adversarial networks) and the NoGAN models discussed […]

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, […]

New Book on Synthetic Data: Version 3.0 Just Released
Update on March 3, 2023: Version 4.0 has been released and now replaces version 3.0 on the e-Store. It contains a new full chapter on enhanced generative adversarial networks (GANs) with comparison to copula-based methods for data synthetization, with illustrations on real-life datasets. The book has considerably grown since version 1.0. It started with synthetic […]

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 Interpolation Methods for Data Synthetization and Prediction
Entitled “New Interpolation Methods for Synthetization and Prediction”, the full version in PDF format is accessible in the “Free Books and Articles” section, here. This article is an extract from my book “Synthetic Data and Generative AI”, available here. I describe little-known original interpolation methods with applications to real-life datasets. These simple techniques are easy to implement and can […]
