The most fundamental integer and mixed-integer programming algorithm explained with PythonPhoto by Viktor Talashuk on UnsplashNumerical optimization problems are a fundamental tool in quantitative decision-making processes. Suppose a system can be described by a set of mathematical equations that adequately encompasses the impact of decision variables in objectives and constraints. In that case, one might search for the values of those decision variables that produce the best possible outcome using optimization…

Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak won’t leave the door open at the 2023 Grammys: the R&B duo better known as Silk Sonic did not submit its platinum-selling album or latest single for contention at music’s biggest awards show. Mars and Paak swept this year’s Grammys in April, winning all four awards they were nominated for thanks to the seductive hit “Leave the Door Open.” The prizes included song of the year, record of the year, best R&B song and best R&B performance (a win tied with Jazmine…

Linear least-squares explained in detail and implemented from scratch in PythonPhoto by Ferdinand Stöhr on UnsplashMultiple linear regression is one of the most fundamental statistical models due to its simplicity and interpretability of results. For prediction purposes, linear models can sometimes outperform fancier nonlinear models, especially in situations with small numbers of training cases, low signal-to-noise ratio, or sparse data (Hastie et al., 2009). In these models, as their name suggests, a predicted (or…

How to build a clustering model focusing on explainabilityPhoto by Kenny Eliason on UnsplashClustering is an unsupervised learning Machine Learning technique to identify groups of similar data points in a given dataset. In theory, those groups will have the same properties that can help the explainability of the data and pattern recognition. Clustering applications in real life include customer and product segmentation, facility location optimization, recommendation systems, medical imaging, sports scouting, and more.One…

A detailed look at the power of LSTM applied to sentiment analysisPhoto by Nicolai Berntsen on UnsplashWhen you get in the driver’s seat of your car, are you able to just turn the engine on and drive away or do you need to think about how will you do it and each step of the process before leaving with the car? For most people, it’s the first option.That’s also how recurrent neural networks (RNNs) work. You don’t need to think from the scratch about every basic task you will do on your day because we have a little thing…
