Industrial Organization: Scale vs. Flexibility # Let's consider a fundamental model for production in a competitive economy. Here we are interested to predict the survival probability of a firm, and how resources are allocated between capital investment and labor adaptability.…
Hopfield networks are a type of recurrent neural network that can store and retrieve patterns. They are particularly useful for associative memory tasks, where the network can recall a stored pattern given a noisy or partial input. The Hopfield Network Model # A Hopfield network…
What is Reflection? # Reflection enables a program to observe and modify its own structure and behavior. t bridges the gap between the base level (the application logic) and the meta level (objects representing the program itself). Core Concepts # Introspection : The program can…
"I call it my billion-dollar mistake. It was the invention of the null reference in 1965. [...] This has led to innumerable errors, vulnerabilities, and system crashes." ~ Tony Hoare 1 The core problem addressed here is Null Safety and how to properly initialize objects to…
Code in modern days is mobile in the sense that it gets downloaded and executed on the fly very often. In JVM they are usually shipped with: Platform independent code Organized into class files. Class Loaders # The class loader is the part of the JVM that takes the bytecode and…
We first start with some design goals for the language Language Design Principles # Simplicity Syntax and semantics can easily be understood by users and implementers of the language Expressiveness : Language can (easily) express complex processes and structures, conflicting…
Introduction to Inheritance # Difference between Inheritance and Subtyping # We say that a subclass is inheritance and subtyping. We have studied subtyping in Typing and Subtyping and it entails mainly two things: Liskov Substitution Polymorphism of the types While inheritance…
Introduzione alla Teoria dei Tipi # History of Languages Research # The root of languages research are in: in logic and computations (even before computers!). Artificial intelligence (Lisp, constrained solvers, the original logical AI we studied in (Russell & Norvig 2009)…
Introduzione a OOP # Per la definizione di classe andare a guardare Object Orientation , però lo ripeto in questa occasione, è solamente un modello su cui andare a costruire degli oggetti. Capisaldi # Incapsulazione (con interfaccia, base per la documentazione) Astrazione…
This note is just a collection of past useful notes to know to apply machine learning methods for the analysis of topics interesting in the neural sciences. Estimators # You need to know all Parametric Modeling . We want to estimate unknown random variables with some…
