Finally! I have been able to consolidate two of my blogs into this new domain :D. I just moved over my old IlliGAL blog and my newer DITA one. I started blogging after the push at IlliGAL, and when I moved to NCSA I took the habit with me into DITA. There are also a few more satellite blogs around (that I may or may not bring over here), but the final goal is to regroup energies and restart the blogging in a more unified manner. Let’s see how it goes… ...
I just posted on my IlliGAL blog how to implement a generic genetic algorithm (GA) main loop squeezing the dynamic behavior of Python. Pretty sleek, if you have tweaked GA main you main find this interesting ;)
For the first time in 9 years, this vacation break I have done absolutely nothing. Wow what a coach potato I have become! Well that is not totally true, just for fun I started going over Python and, as usual, for any new language I end writing a simple genetic algorithm. I like the flexibility and compactness of the code (no verbose at all). However when I fire my first run (yes, the good old OneMax problem), I realized that some of my assumptions about coding did not directly transfer. Yes, it was a bit slow. So I started digging for a profiler and, surprise!, it comes with the Python interpreter. Here is an example on how to run the profiling capabilities ...
Jena 2 Inference Support is a nice introduction to the inference engines provided by the Jena package. Besides standardized reasoning for RDF and a subset of OWL/Lite and OWL/All ontologies, it also provides the mechanisms for creating your own rule-based inference engine using the generic rule-based inference also provided.
