Scientific publication for software development

The academic community seems to judge the validity and significance of any contribution by the number of papers published and the number of citations they get. To find funding, to get credit, you have to publish or perish. However, the natural output of software development tends not to be an …

ICA versus PCA in the scikit-learn: the value of code over pictures

When I was trying to get an intuitive feeling of the difference between Independent Component Analysis (ICA) and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), I wrote a few Python scripts producing some visualizations explaining the difference that have had a bit of success.

During the last sprint on scikit-learn, a machine learning …

Multitouch with VTK (and MedINRIA and Mayavi)

If the videos on this post are not showing, click through to see them.

A colleague of mine, Pierre Fillard, has just integrated multitouch in the next generation of the VTK-based medical imaging software MedINRIA. The nice thing is that it works on an Apple laptop out of the box …
