There is a phenomenon in the Python programming language that affects the efficiency of data representation and memory. I call it the "invisible line." This invisible line might seem innocuous at ...

With Python and NumPy getting lots of exposure lately, I'll show how to use those tools to build a simple feed-forward neural network. Over the past few months, the use of the Python programming ...

Although neural networks have been studied for decades, over the past couple of years there have been many small but significant changes in the default techniques used. For example, ReLU (rectified ...

Want faster number-crunching in Python? You can speed up your existing Python code with the Numba JIT, often with only one instruction. Python is not the fastest language, but lack of speed hasn’t ...

Tired of out-of-memory errors derailing your data analysis? There's a better way to handle huge arrays in Python.

Python is powerful, versatile, and programmer-friendly, but it isn’t the fastest programming language around. Some of Python’s speed limitations are due to its default implementation, CPython, being ...
