RcppAnnoy 0.0.9

(This article was first published on Thinking inside the box , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers)

An new version 0.0.9 of RcppAnnoy, our Rcpp-based R integration of the nifty Annoy library by Erik, is now on CRAN. Annoy is a small and lightweight C++ template header library for very fast approximate nearest neighbours.

This release corrects an issue for Windows users discovered by GitHub user ‘khoran’ who later also suggested the fix of binary mode. It upgrades to Annoy release 1.9.1 and brings its new Manhattan distance to RcppAnnoy. A number of unit tests were added as well, and we updated some packaging internals such as symbol registration.

And I presume I had a good streak emailing with Uwe’s robots as the package made it onto CRAN rather smoothly within ten minutes of submission:

RcppAnnou to CRAN 

Changes in this version are summarized here:

Changes in version 0.0.9 (2017-08-31)

  • Synchronized with Annoy upstream version 1.9.1

  • Minor updates in calls and tests as required by annoy 1.9.1

  • New Manhattan distance modules along with unit test code

  • Additional unit tests from upstream test code carried over

  • Binary mode is used for save (as suggested by @khoran in #21)

  • A new file init.c was added with calls to R_registerRoutines() and R_useDynamicSymbols()

  • Symbol registration is enabled in useDynLib

Courtesy of CRANberries, there is also a diffstat report for this release.

Solving Van der Pol equation with ivp_solve

Van der Pol’s differential equation is The equation describes a system with nonlinear damping, the degree of damping given by μ. If μ = 0 the system is linear and undamped, but for positive μ the system is nonlinear and damped. We will plot the phase portrait for the solution to Van der Pol’s equation in Python using SciPy’s new ODE solver ivp_solve . The function ivp_solve does not solve second-order systems of equations directly. It solves systems of first-order equations, but a second-order differential equation can be recast as a pair of first-order equations by introducing the first derivative as a new variable. Since y is the derivative of x , the phase portrait is just the plot of ( x , y ). If μ = 0, we have a simple harmonic oscillator and the phase portrait is simply a circle. For larger values of μ the solutions enter limiting cycles, but the cycles are more complicated than just circles. Here’s the Python code that made the plot. from scipy import linspace from ...

5 Massively Important AI Features In Time Tracking Applications

Artificial intelligence has transformed the future of many industries. One area that has been under- investigated is the use of AI in time tracking technology. AI is Fundamentally Changing the Future of Time Tracking Technology A time tracking software is a worthy investment irrespective of the size of your organization. It generates accurate reports based on the amount of time your team spends working on a task. These reports facilitate planning of budgets for upcoming projects. Many AI tools are changing the nature of time management. MindSync AI discussed the pivotal role of AI in time management in a Medium article . Why is time tracking software important? It helps with keeping track of the hours being invested on a given task. This sheds light on the timeline for the overall project. It also helps in determining the productivity levels of the employees. This is one of the many reasons that AI is driving workplace productivity . But how can employers utilize it effectively? ...
