[julia-users] Parallel Stochastic Gradient Descent

Hi everyone. I've been playing around with Julia for awhile now and have implemented Parallel Stochastic Gradient Descent. This is my first Julia project (and attempt at implementing this algorithm) so its not perfect, but I think I have a good start and wanted to share it:

Re: [julia-users] Experimental package documentation package.

This is a great start as way to do external documentation – I've been thinking a lot about this problem but hadn't even considered this kind of format. I imagine that you don't do much parsing of the markdown files except to separate entries, but I should mention that I started the Markdown.jl

Re: [julia-users] Experimental package documentation package.

Not much parsing currently. I'm busy trying to simplify things to rely only on H1 (current module) and H2 (function/macro/const) markdown headers for separation (seems to be working fine). For code blocks in documentation I'm planning on just using standard non-highlighting indent ones -- not

Ok! pull request created... (I think). https://github.com/JuliaLang/julia/pull/7175

Re: [julia-users] Experimental package documentation package.

Thanks. I do plan to keep moving with this. Over the summer most likely. If I can stay away until then. From the little investigation into the string issue I did it may have been to do with this [1] line. Perhaps the eval should be taking into account the module the function comes from? Since

Re: [julia-users] Best way to check if package is installed

Pkg.installed(DataFrames) should be substantially faster since it just checks for a single package instead of checking all of them. This is yet another one of the growing number of issues caused by the incredible slowness of forking git so much in the package manager. On Sun, Jun 8, 2014 at

Re: [julia-users] PSA: new ~/.julia_history format

Since I deleted .julia_history2 yesterday, I don't have the history errors now. Don't know if that was the culprit. On 06/08/2014 08:02 AM, Stefan Karpinski wrote: Please do let me know of it continues to be broken for you. On Jun 7, 2014, at 6:41 PM, cnbiz850 cnbiz...@gmail.com wrote:

Thanks!

[julia-users] Embedding Julia

I've been thinking of embedding Julia in one of my applications as a saw some example C code that showed how this could be done (http://docs.julialang.org/en/latest/manual/embedding/). As an experiment I tried to initialize Julia from Delphi (Object Pascal) on Windows 7. I downloaded the

[julia-users] parallel computation question

Okay. I skimmed through the documents and previous questions and I am confused. I have a few questions: 1. One may do some sequential evaluation followed by parallel operation on the same set of data. I see how one creats a distributed array. But how would I distribute already existing

I don't think that could possibly be it, but I'm glad it's working for you now. On Jun 8, 2014, at 10:24 PM, cnbiz850 cnbiz...@gmail.com wrote: Since I deleted .julia_history2 yesterday, I don't have the history errors now. Don't know if that was the culprit. On 06/08/2014 08:02 AM,
