Python Community Interview With Will McGugan

Today I’m joined by Will McGugan. Will is a freelance Python developer based in Scotland and the creator of the popular Python library Rich. In this interview, we discuss the origins of Rich, what it’s like to maintain a popular Python package, building chess engines, and Will’s love of photography. Ricky: Thanks for joining me for this interview, Will. I’d like to start in the same manner we do with all our guests: how did you get into programming, and […]

Machine Translation Weekly 73: Non-autoregressive MT with Latent Codes

Today, I will comment on a paper on non-autoregressive machine translation that shows a neat trick for increasing output fluency. The title of the paper is Non-Autoregressive Translation by Learning Target Categorical Codes, has authors from several Chinese private and public institutions and will appear at this year’s NAACL Conference. Unlike standard, so-called autoregressive encoder-decoder architectures that decode output sequentially (and in theory in linear time), non-autoregressive models generate all outputs in parallel (and in theory in constant time, regardless […]

Matplotlib Stack Plot – Tutorial and Examples

Introduction There are many data visualization libraries in Python, yet Matplotlib is the most popular library out of all of them. Matplotlib’s popularity is due to its reliability and utility – it’s able to create both simple and complex plots with little code. You can also customize the plots in a variety of ways. In this tutorial, we’ll cover how to plot Stack Plots in Matplotlib. Stack Plots are used to plot linear data, in a vertical order, stacking each […]

Understanding Python List Comprehensions

One of Python’s most distinctive features is the list comprehension, which you can use to create powerful functionality within a single line of code. However, many developers struggle to fully leverage the more advanced features, or use them too much, which can lead to code that’s less efficient and harder to read. By the end of this course, you’ll understand the full power of Python list comprehensions and how to use their features comfortably. You’ll also gain an understanding of […]

A Python package that takes in GPS observations of formation flying satellites

LEOGPS LEOGPS is an open-source Python package that takes in GPS observations of formation flying satellites in pairs, to perform single point positioning (SPP) and precise relative positioning via carrier phase double-differential GPS (CDGPS). It currently supports only observations from the GPS constellation (L1/L2 frequency), with observation files in RINEX v2.XX format. LEOGPS gives credit to the University of Bern, for their kind sharing of CODE precise GPS ephemeris and clock files. Note that for formation flying applications, the purely […]

N-D labeled arrays and datasets in Python

xarray xarray (formerly xray) is an open source project and Python package that makes working with labelled multi-dimensional arrays simple, efficient, and fun! Xarray introduces labels in the form of dimensions, coordinates and attributes on top of raw NumPy-like arrays, which allows for a more intuitive, more concise, and less error-prone developer experience. The package includes a large and growing library of domain-agnostic functions for advanced analytics and visualization with these data structures. Xarray was inspired by and borrows heavily […]

OrderedDict vs dict in Python: The Right Tool for the Job

Sometimes you need a Python dictionary that remembers the order of its items. In the past, you had only one tool for solving this specific problem: Python’s OrderedDict. It’s a dictionary subclass specially designed to remember the order of items, which is defined by the insertion order of keys. This changed in Python 3.6. The built-in dict class now keeps its items ordered as well. Because of that, many in the Python community now wonder if OrderedDict is still useful. […]
