I’m Freddy, a passionate coder, mathematician, and musician. I run this blog to share knowledge or to write about things that are relevant to me. It may also serve as a public ‘business card’ to get to know me better. Either way, I hope you will find something interesting here or find how to best reach out to me!

Jade Scientific Calculator - Past, Present, and Future

Jade Scientific Calculator - Past, Present, and Future Jade Scientific Calculator (JSC) is an Android application designed for advanced mathematical calculations, yet simple enough to be a daily tool for basic computations. From basic arithmetic to solving differential equations and linear algebra problems, this app has you covered. Past - Eager Development and the Pandemic JSC began as my capstone project in high school. During my AP courses, I fell in love with my HP Prime calculator but grew frustrated that our phones, despite their phenomenal hardware, lacked an equally good and user-friendly app....

Taylor-Series based pruning criteria for weight pruning in neural networks

TL;DR By theoretically comparing magnitude based pruning with Fisher-information based pruning, the error bound for Fisher-information pruning is tighter and seems more desirable. In practice however, both methods yield the same performance, on average. Fisher-information pruning costs more compute time. From our observed examples, we suggest to use magnitude based pruning considering same performance in less time. Summary This article discusses how the Taylor series motivates two commonly used pruning criteria for neural networks, namely...
