Abstract
In this paper we are concerned with the practical issues of working with data sets common to finance, statistics, and other related fields. pandas is a new library which aims to facilitate working with these data sets and to provide a set of fundamental building blocks for implementing statistical models. We will discuss specific design issues encountered in the course of developing pandas with relevant examples and some comparisons with the R language. We conclude by discussing possible future directions for statistical computing and data analysis using Python.

A Robust Role for Motor Cortex

Gonçalo Lopes
- 14 Jun 2016 - 
TL;DR: A new role for motor cortex is proposed: extending the robustness of sub-cortical movement systems, specifically to unexpected situations demanding rapid motor responses adapted to environmental context, and the implications of this idea for current and future research are discussed.

Optimizing Stochastic Gradient Descent in Text Classification Based on Fine-Tuning Hyper-Parameters Approach. A Case Study on Automatic Classification of Global Terrorist Attacks.

TL;DR: The research concludes that using a grid-search to find the hyper-parameters optimize SGD classification, not in the pre-classification settings only, but also in the performance of the classifiers in terms of accuracy and execution time.
