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.

Explaining models with Triplot, part 1

Explaining models with triplot, part 1 tl;dr Explaining black box models built on correlated features may prove difficult and provide misleading results. R package triplot , part of the DrWhy.AI project, is aiming at facilitating the process of explaining the importance of the whole group of variables, thus solving the problem of correlated features. Calculating the importance of explanatory variables is one of the main tasks of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI). There are a lot of tools at our disposal that helps us with that, like Feature Importance or Shapley values, to name a few. All these methods calculate individual feature importance for each variable separately. The problem arises when features used ...

The con behind every wedding

With her marriage on the rocks, one writer struggles to reconcile her cynicism about happily-ever-after as her own children rush to tie the knot A lavish wedding, a couple in love; romance was in the air, as it should be when two people are getting married. But on the top table, the mothers of the happy pair were bonding over their imminent plans for … divorce. That story was told to me by the mother of the bride. The wedding in question was two summers ago: she is now divorced, and the bridegroom’s parents are separated. “We couldn’t but be aware of the crushing irony of the situation,” said my friend. “There we were, celebrating our children’s marriage, while plotting our own escapes from relationships that had long ago gone sour, and had probably been held together by our children. Now they were off to start their lives together, we could be off, too – on our own, or in search of new partners.” Continue reading... The Guardian http://ift.tt/2xZTguV October 07, 2017 at 09:00AM
