This week, I was at the AI Paris 2019 event to represent Kernix. We had great talks with so many people, and I barely had time to go around to look what other companies were working on. That is why I look at this afterwards. Can we have a big picture of the event without being there?

Accuracy is often used to measure the quality of a classification. It is also used for clustering. However, the scikit-learn accuracy_score function only provides a lower bound of accuracy for clustering. This blog post explains how accuracy should be computed for clustering.

Machine learning algorithms often use matrices to store data and compute operations such as multiplications or singular value decomposition. The purpose of this article is to see how matrices are implemented in Python: how the data is stored and how much memory it consumes.

The transition from Python 2 to Python 3 caused some problems since the two versions handle text differently. First, we will see how the text is represented in Python 2 and Python 3, then how to do the conversion between the different representations, and then the different places where encoding step in: the encoding of the source code, the implicit conversions, the encoding of the inputs and outputs, and the file system encoding.

This blog post introduces the notions of strongly and weakly typed in one hand, and the notion of static and dynamic typing in the other hand. It is illustrated with four languages commonly used in data science pipelines.
