Using websockets to easily build GUIs for Python programs

I recently built a small agent-based model using Python and wanted to visualize the model in action. But as much as Python is an ideal tool for scientific computation (numpy, scipy, matplotlib), it's not as good for dynamic visualization (pygame?).

You know what's a very mature and flexible tool for drawing graphics? The DOM! For simple graphics you can use HTML and CSS; for more complicated stuff you can use Canvas, SVG, or WebGL. There are countless frameworks, libraries, and tutorials to help you draw exactly what you need. In my case, this was the animation I wanted:

(Each row represents a "worker" in my model, and each rectangle represents a "task.")

Analysis: 3-point shot percentage after other team makes or misses

This analysis shows how pbprdf was used to analyze NBA players' 3-point shot percentage after a player on the other team either made or missed a shot over the 2017-2018 regular season.

Overview

We're interested in finding 3-point shots that were made immediately after a 3-point shot taken by the other team. The way we do this is by running a SPARQL query that calculates each player's season 3-point shot percentage, the 3P% after a player on the other team misses, and the 3P% after a player on the other team makes. We want to calculate the percentage of 3-point shots that they make or miss when we include only shots that they took immediately after a player on the other team took a 3-pointer (within two lines on the play-by-play).

Here's the data that we're using to do this analysis. Each play has a set of triples that inc

High-Performance Matrix Multiplication

This is a short post that explains how to write a high-performance matrix multiplication program on modern processors. In this tutorial I will use a single core of the Skylake-client CPU with AVX2, but the principles in this post also apply to other processors with different instruction sets (such as AVX512).

Intro

Matrix multiplication is a mathematical operation that defines the product of

Quick List of Resources for Topological Data Analysis with Emphasis on Machine Learning

This is just a quick list of resourses on TDA that I put together for @rickasaurus after he was asking for links to papers, books, etc on Twitter and is by no means an exhaustive list.

Survey Papers

Both Carlsson's and Ghrist's survey papers offer a very good introduction to the subject

• Topology and Data by Gunnar Carlsson
• Barcodes: The Persistent Topology of Data by Robert Ghrist

Other Papers and Web Resources

• Extracting insights from the shape of complex data using topology A good introductory paper in Nature on the Mapper algorithm.
