Functional Programming in Python: When and How to Use It

Functional programming is a programming paradigm in which the primary method of computation is evaluation of functions. In this tutorial, you’ll explore functional programming in Python. Functional programming typically plays a fairly small role in Python code. But it’s good to be familiar with it. At a minimum, you’ll probably encounter it from time to time when reading code written by others. You may even find situations where it’s advantageous to use Python’s functional programming capabilities in your own code. […]

Python & APIs: A Winning Combo for Reading Public Data

Knowing how to consume an API is one of those magical skills that, once mastered, will crack open a whole new world of possibilities, and consuming APIs using Python is a great way to learn such a skill. A lot of apps and systems you use on a daily basis are connected to an API. From very simple and mundane things, like checking the weather in the morning, to more addictive and time-consuming actions, such as scrolling through your Instagram, […]

Dictionaries and Arrays: Selecting the Ideal Data Structure

There are a variety of ways of storing and managing data in your Python programs, and the choice of the right data structure will affect the readability of your code, ease of writing, and performance. Python has a wide variety of built-in mechanisms that meet most of your data structure needs. This course introduces you to two types of data structures: dictionaries and arrays. There are multiple types and classes for both of these data structures and this course discusses […]

Brython: Python in Your Browser

If you’re a web developer who prefers writing Python over JavaScript, then Brython, a Python implementation that runs in the browser, may be an appealing option. JavaScript is the de facto language of front-end web development. Sophisticated JavaScript engines are an inherent part of all modern Internet browsers and naturally drive developers to code front-end web applications in JavaScript. Brython offers the best of both worlds by making Python a first-class citizen language in the browser and by having access […]

Python and MongoDB: Connecting to NoSQL Databases

Python is a powerful programming language used for many different types of applications within the development community. Many know it as a flexible language that can handle just about any task. So, what if our complex Python application needs a database that’s just as flexible as the language itself? This is where NoSQL, and specifically MongoDB, come in to play. Throughout this article we’ll show you how to use Python to interface with the popular MongoDB (v3.4.0) database, along with […]

Facilitating Terminology Translation with Target Lemma Annotations

Most of the recent work on terminology integration in machine translation has assumed that terminology translations are given already inflected in forms that are suitable for the target language sentence. In day-to-day work of professional translators, however, it is seldom the case as translators work with bilingual glossaries where terms are given in their dictionary forms; finding the right target language form is part of the translation process… We argue that the requirement for apriori specified target language forms is […]

Gamified Crowdsourcing for Idiom Corpora Construction

Learning idiomatic expressions is seen as one of the most challenging stages in second language learning because of their unpredictable meaning. A similar situation holds for their identification within natural language processing applications such as machine translation and parsing… The lack of high-quality usage samples exacerbates this challenge not only for humans but also for artificial intelligence systems. This article introduces a gamified crowdsourcing approach for collecting language learning materials for idiomatic expressions; a messaging bot is designed as an […]
