The goal is to extract the hidden (K) topics in a corpus of documents. Each topic is a distribution over words. Typically, the N most probable words per topic represent that topic. The idea is that if the topic modeling algorithm works well, these top-N words are semantically related. The difficulty is how to evaluate these sets of words. Just as with any…

In 2019, a shocking accident at sea drew the world’s attention to one of the meat industry’s cruelest practices: the transport of live farm animals on long, perilous, and often fatal journeys by ship. Late that year, the Queen Hind, an export ship carrying more than 14,000 sheep from Romania for slaughter in Saudi Arabia, capsized, resulting in the drowning of nearly every animal. Disturbing images emerged of the corpses of sheep floating in the Black Sea. That sinking was one of the deadliest for animals in recent…

It was only a matter of time before the COVID-19 pandemic became fodder for a horror film. It makes sense, given the heightened panic of an unseen enemy and the need for isolation from a danger that gripped many people during the crisis, which are two cornerstones in the genre. Sick, the new horror movie co-written by Scream mastermind Kevin Williamson, skillfully uses the pandemic as a setting and chief plot device. The movie, now streaming on Peacock, is nasty and scary, two things you want in a horror flick. If…

Graph coloring problem interpretation, painted by Dall-E 2.The core of a constraint programming solver and the relationship with mixed integer programmingThere are many different ways to define and solve optimization problems. You can e.g. use greedy algorithms, constraint programming, mixed integer programming, genetic algorithms or local search. In this post, we are diving in to constraint programming. As example, the graph coloring problem is used to illustrate how constraint programming works.If you need an…
