QR algorithm: finding eigenvalues

  • 1 min read

Motivation

A lot of iterative algorithms exist in linear algebra to find eigenvalues of symmetric matrices. QR algorithm addresses the issue of finding eigenvalues of nonsymmetric matrices as well. More accurately this algorithm can find real eigenvalues but complex ones are not treated well.

Reinforcement Learning: Introduction I

  • 4 min read

Introduction

This is the first part of a four parts long series about reinforcement learning (hereafter RL). First, I will introduce the different types of machine learning. Then the focus will shift toward RL. I will explain the most important terms and show some examples. The goal of this part is to become more familiar with the core concepts of RL.

Introduction

Moore-law is a well-known, famous prediction which states that the number of transistors per square mm is doubling roughly in every 18 months. This clearly causes the fast development of the available computational power which is the basis of the increasing performance of IT systems. But what will happen after the end of the Moore’s Law?

The meaning of AI in the mirror of the future

  • 5 min read

Introduction

Nowadays, we hear about AI on a regular base due to its fast development. A huge bunch of novels, films were written in connection with this strange part of technology. Almost all of them grabs some negative sides of AI and paints a threatening picture about human’s future.
