Generators

A generator (as I will use the term here) is an object that can “generate” other objects on demand. They work like random generators,…

Tips for Designing and Implementing a Stimulus Response Agent

(Original Image by everyone’s idle.) This post was a originally published on Luma Labs, now dead. As old as stimulus-response techniques are, they still…

15 Steps to Implement a Neural Net

(Original image by Hljod.Huskona / CC BY-SA 2.0). I used to hate neural nets. Mostly, I realise now, because I struggled to implement them correctly. Texts…

Estimating a Continuous Distribution from a Sample Set

It is sometimes necessary to find the distribution given a sample set from that distribution. If we do not know anything about the distribution,…

Generating Random Points from Arbitrary Distributions for 2D and Up

I have already covered how to generate random numbers from arbitrary distributions in the one-dimensional case. Here we look at a generalisation of that…
