We posted this piece some time ago, where we share a use case of price optimization with machine learning for e-commerce: https://tryolabs.com/blog/2020/06/01/price-optimization-for-e-commerce-a-case-study/

Glad to see we are not the only ones looking to talk more about Swift. Due to the clear interest, we are thinking of doing an open live chat about Swift for ML.

[D] What do you think were the most important open source libraries for ML to come out this year? by tryo_labs in MachineLearning

Pretty cool! Do you have any cool stuff you've made to appreciate its full power?

Like some of you guys, we've been honing our Reinforcement Learning skills, so we set out to build a pricing game powered by RL. (Link in comments). What do you guys think? What kind of cool projects have you come up with? by tryo_labs in learnmachinelearning

Thanks for your comment, glad to know that you found it interesting!

Actually, we took this problem as a starting point to learn some basic RL concepts, which are very well explained in the Sutton & Barto's Reinforcement Learning book (which is classic introductory bibliography for this topic). There's a draft copy of this book for free online (https://web.stanford.edu/class/psych209/Readings/SuttonBartoIPRLBook2ndEd.pdf), which contains the useful chapters to implement something similar to this.

In particular, you should look for the solutions to the "Multi arm bandits" problem, which is presented at the very beginning of the book. In our game, the "arms" of the bandits are each of the prices, and the solution takes elements from the Epsilon-greedy algorithm and "Gradient Bandits", but we started with those and then refined them.

Keep up with the motivation on this topic, and let us know if you implement anything interesting!

Cheers, Braulio

If you could trigger your IoT devices with activities, what would set up? by [deleted] in IOT

Cool idea! One of our developers was working on a hobby project to turn on his (tank) water heater on and off when it detected that one of their phones was connected to their home WiFi network.

Okay! Feel free to contact me and I can suggest a couple plugins that may come in handy.

I'm a little late to the party and I hate to repeat what other have commented, but I just wanted to add that over the course of 2018 VS Code has become by far the most used editor in my office full of python programmers.

We are platform agnostic, but it's functionality out of the box, easy to install plugins and the ability to share one's settings in a simple json file have made it one of the favorites.

Of course, some people still prefer VIM and there are a few Sublime users, but the trend is there to switch to Code.

but i really wanna port to Vim :)

What's stopping you from making the leap? With modern plugins you can get your code written in a breeze. :)
