Frustrated Man Utd midfielder ready to move on amid Juventus links
Manchester United starlet Tahith Chong is reportedly looking for a ‘new adventure’ away from Old Trafford.
Chong has entered the final year of his contract at Old Trafford and so far there have been no confirmed noises about a new deal coming from the Red Devils, despite the player admitting the opposite.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Juventus were keeping tabs on the 19-year-old, who predominantly plays as a winger at United.
Any potential move to Juve will provide United fans with flashbacks to when they let Paul Pogba move to Turin for free in 2012 before signing him back for £89million only four years later.
And now Corriere dello Sport (via Sport Witness) claims that Chong’s representatives feel the Dutchman has ‘not been used enough’ this term.
The report adds that they have ‘unsurprisingly started looking around in search of a new adventure’ and are keen to find a club that would ‘help him become a great’.
The report adds that Chong is keen on a potential switch to Juventus and that talks have already taken place between the clubs.
However, it’s claimed that Juve are no the only club keen on Chong and that despite their silence so far, United are still looking to offer the talented youngster a new contract.

Introduction to Conditional Random Fields
Conditional Random Fields (CRFs) are a class of statistical modeling method often to used to model structured data. CRFs are used as an alternative to hidden Markov models (HMMs) as well. Conditional Random Fields were introduced in 2001 by Lafferty, John, Andrew McCallum, and Fernando CN Pereira [2]. They are widely used in machine learning problems. Some specific applications include:

Line-Search
Instead of using a constant value for \(\alpha\) during our algorithms, it would be better to choose an \(\alpha_k \) at each iteration, that acts to minimize
\(f(x_k + \alpha p_k) \)
Using the function with 2 variables from the previous page and the same intial starting values, we calculate \(\alpha_k\) at every step of the iteration.
To compute \(\alpha_0\), we must conduct one dimensional minimization of \(f\) as a function of \(\alpha\) along the negative gradient.
\(f(x_0+ \alpha_0 (-p_0)) = 0.5(5-5\alpha_0)^2 + 2.5(1-5\alpha_0)^2\),
Since \(f(x_0+ \alpha_0 (-p_0))' = 150x-50\), then solving for the root of the derivative, we get
\(\alpha_0 = \frac{1}{3}\), which is the same as what we chose to be our constant value for \(\alpha\) before.
However, instead of retaining this value throughout every step of the program, we will be conducting this minimization at every step, thus chooosing the best step length every time.
Although setting \(\alpha\) to be the global minimizer of \(f(x_k + \alpha p_k) \) would be the ideal choice every time, it is often too expensive to identify this value, similar to how it
is often expensive to find the Hessian matrix in Newton's method.
A more practical strategy is to perform an inexact line search to find \(\alpha\) such that there is a sufficient decrease in the objective function f, which is measured by
the Armijo condition:
\(f(x_k + \alpha p_k) \leq f(x_k) + c_1 \alpha \nabla f_k^T p_k\)
for some constant \(c_1 \in (0,1) \).
A second requirement, the curvature condition, requires that:
\( \nabla f(x_k + \alpha_k p_k )^T p_k \geq c_2 \nabla f_k^T p_k \)
for some constant \(c_2 \in (0,1) \).
Together, they are known as the Wolfe Conditions:
\(f(x_k + \alpha_k p_k) \leq f(x_k) + c_1\alpha_k \nabla f_k^T p_k\)
\(\nabla f(x_k+\alpha_k p_k)^T p_k \geq c_2 \nabla f_k ^T p_k\)
with \( 0 \lt c_1 \lt c_2 \lt 1\).
Using the Wolfe Conditions to compute \(\alpha_k \) at every step allow the Steepest Descent algorithm to work more efficiently and produce more accurate results.
However, there are some functions, like the Rosenbrock function, where Steepest Descent does not work well, even with a line search to compute \(\alpha\).
Rosenbrock
The Rosenbrock function and its derivatives are defined as:
\(f(x,y) = (1 - x) ^2 + 100(y - x^2)^2\)
\(\nabla f(x, y) = \begin{bmatrix}
-400x(y-x^2)-2(1-x) \\
200(y-x^2)
\end{bmatrix}\)
\(\nabla^2 f(x, y) = \begin{bmatrix}
-400(y-3x^2)+2 & -400x\\
-400x & 200
\end{bmatrix}\)
which has a minimum at (1,1), which can be verified in the contour plot below.
If we run our Steepest-Descent program using the Rosenbrock function, with \(\alpha = 0.001 \) we discover that the program ends abruptly as there are too many iterations. Currently, the maximum number of iterations
allowed in our program is 1000. Raising the limit to 10,000, we can see that the minimum is evaluated to be at \((0.9759247,0.9523313)\) after 7152 iterations, which is not very precise to the actual solution of (1,1)
and also inefficient as it takes too many steps to determine.
Below is a gif that demonstrates the first few hundred iterations of this on a contour map of the Rosenbrock function, where the red dot is the next iteration value. You can see that, after a while, it seems as if the red dot is barely moving.
If we set \(\alpha = 0.01\), we discover that the program never produces a result, even if we raise the maximum number of iterations allowed to be 100,000, and will instead oscillate wildly around
the minima without ever converging to a solution.
Even with a line-search method, and updating \(\alpha_k\) at each iteration, it still takes too many iterations, almost 2500, to reach the solution. When working with large data sets, this becomes extremely inefficient.
Below is a gif that demonstrates the first few hundred iterations of this. Compared to before, where there is no line-search to calculate \(\alpha\), it seems to move faster towards to the minimum value.
However, this is still considerably slow.
The reason that steepest descent has problems with Rosenbrocks function is due to the nature of how it chooses its search directions. Steepest descent works by always choosing
perpendicular paths as their search directions, as can be seen in our Iteration Values graph from the previous page.
When applying steepest descent to Rosenbrock functions or any functions with a curved flat valley leading to the minimum, as shown in the contour plot above, the zig-zagging perpendicular path it chooses
is not the most optimal one. This results in the program being slow and often ineffective.
We've concluded that Steepest-Descent does not work well when working on functions like the Rosenbrock function. What about Newton's method?
Let us now use Newton's method with 2 variables on the Rosenbrock function and attempt to find the minimum.
We start with the initial guess of \(x_0 = \begin{bmatrix}
-1 \\
1\end{bmatrix}\).
Plugging into our gradient and hessian function, we get:
\(\nabla f(-1,1) = \begin{bmatrix}
-4 \\
0
\end{bmatrix}\)
\(\nabla^2 f(-1,1) = \begin{bmatrix}
802 & 400\\
400 & 200
\end{bmatrix}\)
\((\nabla^2 f(-1,1))^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix}
0.5 &-1 \\
-1& 2.005
\end{bmatrix}\)
Then \(x_1 = x_0 + p_k = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} 0.5 & -1 \\ -1 & 2.005 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} -4 \\ 0\end{bmatrix} =
\begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 1\end{bmatrix} - \begin{bmatrix} -2 \\ 4\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ -3 \end{bmatrix}\), and we repeat this process.
After a few iterations we get the table below.
The program for this method is located in the newton2.js file
We can see from our table that using Newton's method, the Rosenbrock function converges to the minimum in less than 3 iterations.
Similar to what we did for the previous function with 2 variables using Steepest-Descent, let us plot these values to visualize how the search direction is found
and how quickly the program converges to the minimum
From the graph, we can see that there is no consistent zig-zag towards the minimum like in steepest-descent. Going back to the example of the bowl from the previous page, the marble will roll directly
into the bottom of the bowl in as few iterations as possible, because the bowl is more circular in nature.
However, the downsides to Newton's method with 2 variables is still the same as the downsides from before. Computing the Hessian matrix and its inverse at each iteration
can be a very costly computation. In this example, because the hessian matrix is of size \(2 \times 2\), the inverse matrix is easy to calculate for, but would become exponentially harder with more variables.

What is Pair Programming?
- Pair Programming is when two people are working together on the same line of code.
Why is Pair Programming important to DBC?
- Pair Programming is important to DBC because it simulates the work environment many students will face at their future careers as web developers. Within a "pair", there is a 'driver' and a 'navigator'. Pair Programming helps both people to learn from each other and develops communication skills between the two partners. Pair Programming also helps reduce the number of mistakes because they are both looking at the same document. Working with a peer also helps both people stay focused on a task, rather than being distracted by surrounding factors.
What is a Driver? What is a Navigator?
- In Pair Programming, there are two roles: a driver and a navigator.
- A driver is the person who is actively typing on the keyboard. He is the one who is making changes in the text editor.
- A navigator is the person who is instructing the driver what to add and change in the text editor. The navigator has the "big picture" overview of the project, while the driver is mainly focused on the instructions of the navigator. The navigator's role is also to check for errors in syntax and thinking of better ways to structure the code.

made myself a knight and xferred the Spirit sword i had from before, then suddenly when i was about to go to GY the sword pulls an houdini act and disappears right infront of me and bac0n, and none of us never saw it drop or anything.

Welp, I guess it's got some bugs, but you triggered the anti-duping system. Somehow your sword was duped when you pulled it from storage, so the server deleted it.
Don't worry I can score you a new one. Find me in game sometime.

Sorry to hear so many of you have been losing items. I have a feeling the bug is pretty subtle, but since it doesn't break the game at this very second I have to wait until after this Friday's bonanza to take a good hard look at it (and a lot of other bugs).

Song Validation Method: For a given playlist, we randomly sampled a subset of songs (usually about 80%) from that playlist and used these as input "training data" for our model. The remaining songs (usually about 20%) were used as "testing data." We then ran our model (both pooling and ranking) on the training data and returned as output our highest ranked songs (usually the same number of songs as in the testing data). Our metric for success in this case was the number of songs in the testing data that appeared in our output.
With this validation method, we often found that few songs from the testing data appeared in our model's output. We find this to be quite reasonable, since there are many songs that could properly extend a given subset of a playlist. Further, with so many available songs to choose from, it would be remarkable if any model could consistently predict the songs in the testing set, especially when one considers that the playlists we have were assembled by the arbitrary tastes of Spotify users, and there is no objective measure of what properly constitutes a cohesive playlist.
Artist Validation Method: We sought a second method of validation, to see if we could improve performance. The procedure we used was identical to that of the Song Validation Method, except we redefine the metric of success to be the number of artists that appeared in the testing data that also appeared in out output.
We saw similar results with this testing framework, for the same reasons as listed above.
We took several approached to feature selection. Within our testng framework, it is difficult to discriminate between different methods of feature selection, however we have found several approaches we find to be valid. Of our features, we determined several which should be dropped. These include the track's key, time signature, duration, and position in playlist. Intuitively, these features wouldn't discriminate well the types of songs we'd like to select (for example, two totally different songs can have the same duration, key, or time signature).
Once we had our set of features, we took several approaches in their use. We examined models both with and without the "artist genre" feature. When included, we one-hot encoded artist genre. We decided to exclude artist genre in our ranking model, since we had already used it in the pooling model, and the large list of artist genres made one-hot encoding rather expensive to run. We also experimented with dropping out some of our remaining features to evaluate their relative importance, and we also tried weighting some features more heavily than others when evaluating cosine similarity.
The following are two example outputs from out model.

While our prediction could be improved, we find that these predictions do a decent job at finding relevant songs for the Spotify listener.
The goal of this project was to create a playlist extension tool for Spotify users. The tool was designed to take a user's playlist as input, and provide a series of suggested songs similar to the songs in their playlist. Ultimately, while our model successfully predicts a series of songs for the user, we don't have a well-established framework in which to evaluate its successes and shortcomings. We find that our methods are accurate, and that given the proper testing framework we would be able to improve its predictive power.
To expand and improve our current model, we could examine the effects of interaction terms on our current features. We could also try and find a better proxy for track genre than our current use of artist genre. Spotify stores a genre for each album (not individual songs). Perhaps using album genre, or both album and artist genre, would be a better surrogate for track genre.
We could also try and use a completely different framework. One of the challenges of this project was the lack of an appropriate response variable, which prevented us from using many of the modelling techniques that we used in CS109a. It would be interesting to pursue different unsupervised learning techniques (for example, k means clustering) to see if we could improve our predictions.

Most breakable walls in this game can only be destroyed from one side but it is possible to break them from the wrong side by using certain skills.
Hammer
If you stick to the wall and use hammer you will be able to break small walls, this does not work on the bigger barriers.
You can hit the barrier more consistently if you combine it with slowdown.
Shuriken
If you stick to the wall and use shuriken, some of them will pass through the wall and start damaging it. Repeat it a couple times and you will break the wall.
Sentry
If you stick at the top of the wall and use Sentry, it will move at a position where it can deals damage to the wall. Repeat it enough time and you will break the wall. (video coming soon)


Enables the use of time calculations and declarations, like 45.minutes + 2.hours + 4.years.
If you need precise date calculations that doesn’t just treat months as 30 days, then have a look at Time#advance.

Hi,<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

you are very right about scheduling. We know that it is
essential. The way to go as we understand is to have the scheduling propagators
and then add a modeling layer for scheduling problems on top (like minimodel
does dor arithmetic constraints etc), so that’s actually two issues.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

If you want to make a start we would of course offer support.
But I believe that it would be better still if more than a single person would
go about it.<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Parallel means multiple threads (so multi-core or multi CPU). I
just got an 8 core machine, so you see why this is bound to happen ;-)<o:p></o:p>

want?<o:p></o:p>

<o:p> </o:p>

Hi,

I think one important thing missing in Gecode is direct support to modeling
scheduling problems. There has been always said (several papers, not
Gecode) that that CP is the way to go if you want to model scheduling problems,
but when one tries to implement those ideas in Gecode the difficulties arrives
quickly, mainly because the missing of direct support to modelling scheduling
problems and because the documentation is not very detailed when you want to
model new search engines and branchings. You will address those issues in the
next versions of Gecode, so in the future it will not be a great problem.

I'm very interested in the support of scheduling functions in Gecode, and I
would be glad to contribute an initial implementation, if you plan to include
those functions in the main line of Gecode (that's no a requirement, but an
idea).

When you say "parallel support", do you mean multi-core support? or
distributed support?.

IMHO.

Thanks for taking us into account.<o:p></o:p>

Dear all,

as mentioned, we are planning for Gecode 3.0.0.
Before going into detail, I

would like to share with you the goals we wanted to achieve with the

previous major releases and the goals we want to achieve with 3.0 (and even

4.0).

Gecode 1.0.0 was the first version where we believed that we had arrived at

something that was reasonably complete and robust to be useful to other

users but us. The focus has been in particular on getting the basic

architecture sufficiently mature.

Gecode 2.0.0 achieved a complete set of abstractions needed to do efficient

propagation including incremental propagation. We are quite confident that

the level of completeness and maturity we reached for propagation will be

sufficient for some time to come. Subsequent releases fixed (and will fix)

lots of not-so-easy-to-catch bugs as we have been stepping up Gecode's

quality.

Gecode 3.0.0 will shift the focus away from propagation. The main focus will

be documentation and search.

In more detail, Gecode 3.0.0 will feature:

- a complete rework of branching, including randomization and support for

tie-breaking (already finished)

- abstractions for cost-based optimization (just define a cost function,

done)

- a first shot at parallel search (working really great, but integration

and legal aspects are not yet resolved)

- the first stable version of Gist as an interactive search tool (almost

done, we have made amazing progress and have

attained a level of efficiency and scalability we thought impossible)

- apart from that the usual small stuff, much of it devoted to make
Gecode

easier to explain

- we might re-optimize the crucial abstractions for 64 bit rather than
for

32 bit instead (should we? should we optimize both?)

The other big thing will be to deliver documentation with Gecode apart from

the extensive reference documentation it already comes with. The following

topics (as of today's understanding) will be covered:

(a) Modeling with Gecode: How to do CP models with Gecode. This will be

concerned with Gecode-specific aspects

and not be an introduction to CP.

(b) Programming Propagators: That will explain the basic issues, the

underlying architecture, but also all the programming

techniques we developed so far.

(c) Programming Branchings: Rather simple.

(d) Programming Exploration: how to construct own search engines with a

focus on how recomputation works in detail.

(e) Programming Variables: how to provide new variable implementations.

This is now really easy.

The biggest piece will be (b). Together with Gecode 3.0.0 we will definitely

release (a) and maybe a short draft of (b). (d) will not come with 3.0.0,

(c) and (e) might come. We have not yet decided whether anything but (a)

will be released as a freely available document. Depending on our academic

publications anything but (a) might be delayed.

The later versions of Gecode 3.* will gradually improve the search

capabilities, including a better LDS, abstractions for large neighborhood

search, automatic configuration of recomputation, etc...

There will be a Gecode 2.3.0 release that will change the way memory

management is done. This version will also be submitted to the MiniZinc

Challenge 2008. It might (to make our live easier) already contain parts

mentioned above as parts of 3.0.0.

The long term vision is that Gecode 4.0.0 will be something that is fully

backed up with high-quality documentation, has very advanced parallel search

facilities, and might have unique inference modules (elimination of

redundant propagators, automatic choice of consistency level, SAC, ...).

What I did not mention is that we will add new propagators (and new variable

types, thanks to Filip) if we find the time and we get the requests. But we

do hope that we will see contributions here in the hopefully not-so-far

future from our users.

Last thing, time:

- Gecode 2.3.0: end of summer

- Gecode 3.0.0: late autumn

- Gecode 4.0.0: late autumn 2009

Okay, that was long and boring. Sorry!

Now: What do you want? How can you help us? Are we missing something really

important? Is there something fundamentally wrong?

All the best

Christian on behalf of the Gecode team

A shocking number of South African ministers are behind on their rent
by Staff WriterThe Department of Public Works and Infrastructure says that 43 past and returning government ministers are currently in arrears with rental payments on their ministerial houses.
Responding in a recent parliamentary Q&A session, minister of Public Works Patricia De Lille said that letters for payment arrangements have been sent to these ministers, but that a large number have still not paid.
She added that if arrangements are not made and payments have not been received the account will be handed over to the state attorney for debt collection.
While De Lille did not provide the names of the ministers and deputy ministers in arrears, she did provide a list of the amounts owed by each individual, with the total outstanding amount coming to just over R1.3 million.

These homes are typically provided to ministers alongside other perks such as security features, domestic workers and even DStv in terms of government’s ministerial handbook.
However, the Department of Public Service and Administration (DPSA) has recently indicated that it is looking to drastically cut these perks as part of ongoing cost-saving measures.
The DPSA said that the revisions form part of the new ‘Guide for the Members of the Executive’ which replaced the old Ministerial Handbook in June 2019.
“On 16 October 2019, the Guide was presented to Cabinet and a revised document is being finalised for presentation to the President before the end of the week,” it said.
“Once the Guide for Members of the Executive is approved by the President, it will be made publicly available.”
The DPSA said that some of the main areas relating to the review include:
- Reduced staffing in ministerial offices;
- The amount that members of the executive are allowed to spend on vehicles (capped at R700,000);
- All domestic travel will be on economy class tickets;
- There will no longer be payment for subsistence and travel for both domestic and international trips on these levels;
- Reduced costs associated with the occupation of State-owned Residences;
- Reduced security upgrades at private residences;
- Reduced domestic Services at official residence;
- A new cell phone dispensation that will cap the amount claimable from the state;
- Reduced benefits to members upon relinquishing office.

Fans are loving Ant back on I'm A Celebrity but Holly Willoughby is missed
Viewers were absolutely loving Ant McPartlin rejoining Declan Donnelly as host of the new series of I’m A Celebrity… but they’re already missing Holly Willoughby.
The 38-year-old This Morning host replaced Ant for 2018’s I’m A Celeb, but he took back the reins this year.
Fans were happy Ant was back by Dec’s side in the jungle, but social media was divided as Holly proved to be popular the year before.
One fan wrote on Twitter: ‘So happy to see @antanddec back together again for @imacelebrity but I do miss @hollywills.’
And another tweeted: ‘I miss Holly Willoughby already, not gonna lie.’

Not even one ad break in, however, and people began rushing to Ant’s defence.

One fan tweeted: ‘So glad Ant is reunited with Dec on I’m A Celebrity there (sic) a great pair together. [I] mean @hollywills done a great job last year but it’s always great when them two are together.’
While one viewer joked: ‘Holly had a haircut? She looks different…’
One viewer tweeted: ‘As much as I’m gonna miss having @hollywills on TV every night for the next 3 weeks it’s good to have the pair back in the jungle, it ain’t the same without @antanddec in the jungle together.’
Then the memes began…
It looks like Holly isn’t even watching the premiere tonight though after appearing at the Frozen 2 European premiere in South Bank, London, on Sunday night.
The full line up of celebrities includes Caitlyn Jenner, Nadine Coyle, Adele Roberts, Ian Wright, Jacqueline Jossa, Kate Garraway, Andrew Whyment, James Haskell, Myles Stephenson and Roman Kemp.
But who’s going to be the first one to go?
I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues on Monday at 9pm on ITV.
