Whenever the discussion of liberty versus equality of outcomes arises there is a tendency to create a false dichotomy where we are forced to choose between extreme positions that a…

From the abstract: 'The brain carries out tasks that are very demanding from a computational perspective, apparently powered by a mere 20 Watts.This fact has intrigued computer sci…

This article uses a Julia implementation to explain how the complex-step method allows us to easily compute derivatives of analytic functions up to machine-precision. Possibly the …

tl;dr 1. The objective of this paper is to show how the complex-step derivative approximation is related to algorithmic differentiation. 2. For a tutorial on complex-step different…

tl;dr 1. Within the context of optimisation, differentiable approximations of the min and max operators on R^n are very useful. 2. However, in order for these approximations to be …
