Types of Neural Networks

6 November 2018 No Comments

The other day, I decided to read one paper about neural networks a day. I chose publications available at Arxiv and I added the site to my RSS reader. And just two days later I was shocked by the number of papers submitted to Arxiv every day! There were so many new ideas in the field of neural networks that it was impossible to follow them all. I gave up this habit after a week, but I realized one important thing: the majority of these papers were related to tuning or modifying already existing types of neural networks.

Live templates in JetBrains products

23 February 2018 No Comments

“Live Templates” is one of many features that JetBrains software comes with. It is common that developers need to repeat certain lines of code over and over again. When you are fed up with writing the same piece of code every time you need it, then you start looking for it in the sources to simply copy and paste it. Not only is this very time-consuming, but also frustrating. It is easy to imagine that you need to repeatedly use Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V when in a hurry, and using a mouse to select a text makes it even harder. In such cases, live templates can save your time.
