Linear models

matrix multiplication: fast with GPU
numerically stable
cannot cocatenate linear units → equivalent to one big matrix...

⇒ add non-linear units in between

rectified linear units (RELU)

chain rule: efficient computationally

back propagation

easy to compute the gradient as long as the function Y(X) is made of simple blocks …

Softmax function

socres yi ⇒ probabilities pi

property: smaller scores ⇒ less certain about result

Onehot encoding

Cross entropy

measure how well the probability …

1. Introduction to Intractability

recall model of computation: DFA
a univeral model of computation: turing machine
→ no more powerful model of computation.
Turing machine can compute any function that can be computed by a physically harnessable process of the natural world.

bottom line: turing machine is a simple and universal …

simplex algo: top 10 algo of the 20th century (ever?).

what is linear programming:
a general problem-solving model that works for:
shortest-path, maxflow, MST, matching, assignment, ...

1. Brewer-'s Problem

toy example: choose products to maximize profit.
...
feasible region: a convex polygon.

⇒ optimum solution appears at an extreme point.

standard form …

包: 文件夹 (可以有多级), 且包含__init__.py文件(每层都要有) 模块: py文件

代码分开放在多个py文件(模块名=文件名). 同 …

Goal: classify problems according to computational requirements.
bad new: for huge number of pbs we don't know...

1. Introduction to Reductions

shifing gears:

• from individual problems to problem-solving models.
• from linear/quard to polynomial/exponential pbs
• from implementation details to conceptual framwork

suppose we could (not) solve pb X efficiently …

函数式编程: 更抽象, 更脱离指令(计算机), 更贴近计算(数学).

• 不需要变量 (python允许有变量, 所以python非纯函数式)
• 高阶函数
• 闭包: 返回函数
• 匿名 …

1. Introduction to Data Compression

pb: reduce the size of a file, to save space/time for storing/transmitting.
applications: generic file compression(gzip), multimedia (mp3), communication(skype).

From binary data B, ⇒ generate a compressed representation C(B).

lossless compression: get exactly B from C(B)
compression ratio: |C(B …

1. Regular Expressions

pb: pattern matching.

regular expression

Is a notation to specify a set of strings.
basic operations:

• concatenation
• or
• closure: "0 or more appearances of chars"
• parentheses

additional operations (added for convinence):

ex. [A-C]+ is equivalent to (A|B|C)(A|B|C)*.

1. Introduction to substring search

"most ingenious algorithm we've seen so far"
pb. having two strings, pattern and text, len(pattern)=M << len(text)=N, try to find pattern in text.

ex. indexOf method of String in java.

2. Brute-Force Substring Search

function signature:
public static int search(String pat …
