91Act has announced that their BlazBlue-flavored rougelite, BlazBlue Entropy Effect, leaves Early Access on PC on January 21, 2024. This is the first time I’ve really heard of BlazBlue Entropy Effect, but that’s maybe not surprising since it only launched in Early Access on August 15, 2023. During that time, it’s racked up a 90% positive rating on Steam. In a world where some games seem to be perpetual Early Access titles, It may seem like a short time for a game to be in that state. However, it seems to be right on…

We all know that to have life on a world, you need three critical items: water, warmth, and food. Now add to that a factor called "entropy". It plays a role in determining if a given planet can sustain and grow complex life.Scientist Luigi Petraccone, a chemistry researcher at the University of Naples in Italy, looked at planetary entropy. He's interested in how scientists select planets that could be habitable. He released a paper that examines something called "planetary entropy production" (PEP). Here's how it works.A…

Entropy is one of those fearsomely deep concepts that form the core of entire fields of physics (in this case, thermodynamics) that is unfortunately so mathematical that it's difficult to explain in plain language. But we will give it a try.Whenever I see the word entropy, I like to replace it with the phrase "counting the number of ways that I can rearrange a scenario while leaving it largely the same." That's a bit of a mouthful, I agree, and so entropy will have to do.You get up on weekend morning and decide to…

Entropy may seem abstract, but it has an intuitive side: as the probability of seeing certain patterns in data. Here’s how it works.Background Credit: Joe Maldonado @unsplashIn data science, there are many concepts linked to the notion of entropy. The most basic one is Shannon’s information entropy, defined for any distribution, P(x), through the formula:Where the sum is over all the possible categories in C. For continuous variables, the sum over categories become an integral.There are other related concepts that have…

Time series are everywhere. As data scientists, we have various time series tasks, such as segmentation, classification, forecasting, clustering, anomaly detection, and pattern recognition.Depending on the data and the approaches, feature engineering could be a crucial step in solving those time series tasks. Well-engineered features can help understand the data better and boost models’ performance and interpretability. Feeding raw data to a black-box deep learning network may not work well, especially when data is…

Do you want the world to explode? Probably not. But maybe! In any case, get into The Entropy Centre and solve puzzles so we have enough entropy juice to reverse our homeworld’s magnificent explosion, should we choose to. How does solving puzzles help prevent the detonation of Earth? You’ll have to solve some puzzles to find out. Here’s some help on getting through the first one.Note: Knowing the solution to the puzzles may spoil the entropy juice, but how will the game know?…

The only thing standing between the world and ultimate destruction in The Entropy Centre is you and a series of puzzles. That’s a lot of pressure. Now that you’re on the second set of puzzles, things are only going to get more difficult. Don’t buckle. If you’re having trouble, we’ve got you covered. Following the 01 puzzles, to actually get into the 02 test rooms, you’ll first need to turn off a leaky gas valve by rewinding a crank, then grab the electronics panel beyond and slot it into the spot next to…

Though Decision Trees look simple and intuitive, there is nothing very simple about how the algorithm goes about the process deciding on splits and how tree pruning occurs. In this post I take you through a simple example to understand the inner workings of Decision Trees.Iris Decision Tree from Scikit Learn ( Image source: sklearn)Decision Trees are a popular and surprisingly effective technique, particularly for classification problems. But, the seemingly intuitive interface hides complexities. The criterion for…
