[julia-users] Updated YouTube channel page and website updates

2014-08-31 Thread Viral Shah
We now have an updated and a better looking (thanks Shashi!) YouTube 
channel page, with all the videos from JuliaCon. We will keep this updated 
with new videos as they come.

https://www.youtube.com/user/JuliaLanguage/

The website also now has a separate learning section (split from the 
teaching section, which is now focussed on material for instructors), where 
it is easier to find videos and tutorials.

http://julialang.org/learning/

The JuliaCon page also has links to videos for all the talks.

simpler to do just that.

 It should be quite easy to parallelize each iteration of this algorithm. 
 My question is what the optimal strategy would be for parallelizing the 
 algorithm using the built-in Julia features. If I were using MPI I would 
 simply assign each process a chunk of indices and let them update that

 Dear All,

 after bugging this list long enough with questions about how to get 
 Julia running in parallel on a Torque/PBS managed cluster I thought I'd 
 share my experience with the list. I realise that by julia standards this 
 is a rather modest achievement, but I'd been happy to come across 
 something 
 like this post a while ago. :-)

 So, there's nothing special about the cluster being PBS managed (rather 
 than SGE or whatever), I just found that each system is as idiosyncratic 
 as 
 the sysadmin person who set it up (starting from the format of nodenames 
 to 
 scheduler options to how environment variables get forwarded into a node, 
 etc etc), so it always takes a fair amount of hacking to get something 
 running. It's pretty low quality hacking I would say, but it's painful on 
 a 
 cluster. You basically need to adapt the functions in iridis_launcher.jl 
 in 
 the below repo to your system. Very few of the issues actually had 
 anything 
 to do with Julia itself, so I tried to explain as much about the 
 environment as possible. Again, just sharing this in the hope someone out 
 there is trying to achieve something similar may find this useful:

[julia-users] Re: Any method to save the variables in workspace to file?

2014-08-31 Thread Robert Feldt
This is an old thread but I needed something similar to the original poster 
and didn't want to depend on external packages.

A quick and dirty solution can be to save to file with showall and then 
eval and parse back in. This works for the built-in data types and for 
small data but I'm sure there are many disadvantages... Anyway, I've found 
it useful in small scripts that need to save some state between runs. Code 
and example below.

Regards,

/Robert Feldt

macro savevars(filename, vars...)
  printexprs = map(vars) do var
:(print(f, ;, $(string(var)),  = ); showall(f, $(esc(var
  end
  quote
local f = open($(esc(filename)), w)
try
  $(Expr(:block, printexprs...))
finally
  close(f)
end
  end
end

a = 1
b = 2.345
c = [1,2,3]
d = {:a = a, :b = 1, c = arne, d1 = {1 = 2}}
@savevars(t, a, b, c, d)

function loadvars(filename)
  f = open(filename, r)
  try
eval(parse(readall(f)))
  finally
close(f)

[julia-users] Memory considerations for performance

2014-08-31 Thread Ariel Keselman
I just found this interesting article about garbage collection:

http://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf

Turns out GC can significantly affect performance when memory available is 
 ~3X the needed memory (for e.g. because a GC touches more memory pages 
relative to manual handling it can trigger more caching) 

So maybe such a benchamrk, which checks how much available memory there is 
and then use say 75% of it, would be very useful. I don't believe there is 
such benchmark now, am I right?

of course, maybe just allocating all the needed memory at start would solve 
the problem (if any). The benchamrk would have to be written in a natural, 
Julian way, just like the non-vectorized benchamrks for the other 
languages. The purpose would be to reveal useful performance information, 
for e.g. to understand if indeed allocating everything up-front is really 
needed

Maybe I'll write these myself. Just sharing some thoughts :)

[julia-users] Calling Julia from Python

2014-08-31 Thread Hans W Borchers
I will give a talk on Julia in front of a group of Python users. The 
presentation will make use of IJulia and the IPython notebook, and 
everything 
works really nice, including calling Python from Julia.

To make it even relevant for Python people I would like to show how to call 
Julia from Python. So I installed the julia Python package within IJulia:

cd ~/.julia/v0.3/IJulia/python
sudo python setup.py install

After that, when calling Julia I get

 from julia import Julia
 j = Julia()
...
ValueError: Julia release library not found
  searched /usr/lib/libjulia.so
   and /usr/lib/libjulia.dylib

I can correct this in file .../site-packages/julia/core.py manually to 
find
this library at /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/julia/libjulia.so:

 from julia import Julia
 j = Julia()
System image file /usr/bin/../lib/julia/sys.ji not found

and here, I apologize, I gave up.
(I tried the pyjulia Python package, too, but was not more successful.)

I am ready to install everything anew, Python, Julia, ..., but I have no

what to do differently this time.

[julia-users] trouble after updating Julia

2014-08-31 Thread Andrea Vigliotti
Hi all!


I am having problems in updating Julia from the git. As usual, every three 
four days I download the last updates from the git and 
compile them, this is what I do (I'm running ubuntu with KDE, and Julia is 
v0.4) from the source directory I typed

git pull  make



then I got this 

...
...
...
iterator.jl
inference.jl
ERROR: LoadError(/usr/local/julia/v0.4/base/sysimg.jl,65,LoadError(

after doing the make cleanall, tried make again and got

now I'm stucked, I looked on the internet but could find reason or 
solutions for this, it happened before and I had to remove everything and 
download and make everything from scratch, 

does anybody know how it is possible to fix this without completely 
reinstalling Julia??

thanks!

 This is an old thread but I needed something similar to the original

 A quick and dirty solution can be to save to file with showall and then
 eval and parse back in. This works for the built-in data types and for
 small data but I'm sure there are many disadvantages... Anyway, I've found
 it useful in small scripts that need to save some state between runs. Code
 and example below.

[julia-users] Issue Replacing NaN with 0

2014-08-31 Thread Alex Hollingsworth
Hi Everyone, 

I cannot figure out if there is an error in Julia or (more likely) in my 
code. I have a matrix A, which contains some NaN values and I would like to 
create a copy of it that is the same except that I replace the NaN values 
with 0's. I would also like to do this without altering the original 
matrix. I have tried two different approaches, both of which have the same 
whacky result. Where no matter what I do, the original values seem to be 
altered in A. My results would ideally look like:

a =[1 2 3; 4 5 NaN] and x=[1 2 3; 4 5 0]

Please let me know where my error is or if this is some oddity of julia's 
handling of NaN's. The same logic of code works perfectly in Matlab, so I'm 
really confused as to what the error is. 

Thanks!!

*Method 1:*
a=[1 2 3; 4 5 NaN]
x=a

for m=1:size(x,1)
for l=1:size(x,2)
   isnan(x[m,l]) ? x[m,l]=0 :  x[m,l]=x[m,l] 
end
end

[julia-users] Re: Has anyone successfully performed probit or logit regression in Julia?

2014-08-31 Thread Bradley Setzler
Thank you Adam, this works.

Let me suggest that this information be included in the GLM documentation:

To fit a GLM model, use the function,
glm(formula, data, family, link), 
where,
- formula uses column symbols from the DataFrame data, e.g., if 
names(data)=[:Y,:X], then a valid formula is Y~X;
- data is a DataFrame which may contain NA values, the rows with NA values 
will be ignored (apparently);
- family may be chosen from Binomial(), Gamma(), Normal(), or Poisson(), 
and the parentheses are required; and,
- link may be chosen from the list in the GLM documentation, such as 
LogitLink(), and again the parentheses are required. For some families, a 
default link is available so the link argument may be left blank.

I don’t think this example had any views. Both bindings had an equal right to 
be considered the true binding.

I think we’re better off doing more education to teach people to distinguish

Re: [julia-users] Issue Replacing NaN with 0

2014-08-31 Thread Ethan Anderes
Yeah, I can see your point John. It's probably not reasonable to make a new 
AliasedArray type. 

For me I think the education would address the difference between vec, for 
example, when used inside another function, eg x = sin(vec(a)), or the memory 
overlap case, eg x = vec(a). This stung me at one point. When ArrayViews lands 
as slicing in Base I should take a shot at a PR for the docs.

Re: [julia-users] Re: Has anyone successfully performed probit or logit regression in Julia?

2014-08-31 Thread Bradley Setzler
No problem.

Honestly, I'm not sure formula is a useful way to think about regression, 
the formula is uniquely determined from:
(depVar, indepVars, data, family, link)

so that the + symbols are redundant given family and link,
glm(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 +, family, link)

and it would be nice to have an explicit intercept argument like,
glm(Y,X,data,family,link,intercept=true)

Adding to the wish list, I would like to see something like a series option 
for non-parametric regression,
glm(Y,X,data,family,link,seriesRank=2)
where seriesRank=2 means all of the terms X1.^2, X1.*X2, X1.*X3,...,X5.^2 
are included as regressors.

Sorry, I meant for those to be in the ... term.

Let me write them explicitly for the case of 3 independent variables, X1 X2 
X3, seriesRank=2 would be,

(intercept)
X1.^2
X2.^2
X3.^2
X1.*X2
X1.*X3
X2.*X3
X1.*X2.*X3

 glm(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 +, family, link)

 Let me suggest that this information be included in the GLM

 To fit a GLM model, use the function,
 glm(formula, data, family, link), 
 where,
 - formula uses column symbols from the DataFrame data, e.g., if 
 names(data)=[:Y,:X], then a valid formula is Y~X;
 - data is a DataFrame which may contain NA values, the rows with NA 
 values will be ignored (apparently);
 - family may be chosen from Binomial(), Gamma(), Normal(), or Poisson(),

 - link may be chosen from the list in the GLM documentation, such as 
 LogitLink(), and again the parentheses are required. For some families, a

I see. This is a pretty radical change to how GLM’s would be specified. I think 
the only realistic way you could make any progress on such a radical proposal 
is to undertake this change as a project on your own and then give people a

Yeah, or it might be easier to do it separately, like a function 
seriesData = createSeries(data, rank=2)
which returns a DataFrame that contains all of those series terms. Then 
seriesData would simply be used as the data argument in glm().

Yeah, there are a lot of possible interfaces for this. Early on in JuliaStats 
there was a little bit of work to do polynomial regression, which fizzled out

Does anyone know how to get predicted Y values after fitting the glm 
regression of Y on X? The documentation mentions LinPred, which may be it, 
but I'm not having luck getting it to work.

I would have guessed it was something like this:

julia X = [1;2;3.]
julia Y = [1;0;1.]
julia data = DataFrame(X=X,Y=Y)
julia OLS = glm(Y~X,data,Normal(),IdentityLink())

 Honestly, I'm not sure formula is a useful way to think about 
 regression, the formula is uniquely determined from:
 (depVar, indepVars, data, family, link)

 so that the + symbols are redundant given family and link,
 glm(Y ~ X1 + X2 + X3 + X4 + X5 +, family, link)

 and it would be nice to have an explicit intercept argument like,
 glm(Y,X,data,family,link,intercept=true)

 Adding to the wish list, I would like to see something like a series 
 option for non-parametric regression,
 glm(Y,X,data,family,link,seriesRank=2)
 where seriesRank=2 means all of the terms X1.^2, X1.*X2, 
 X1.*X3,...,X5.^2 are included as regressors.

Re: [julia-users] Help with Clang.jl for a C beginner

2014-08-31 Thread João Felipe Santos
Hello Randy,

the following comes from my experience with ccall and Julia documentation.
Please anyone correct me if I explained any of the internals wrong!

The API seems to be really simple so pretty much everything can be done
with standard Julia types. Clang.jl seems to have generated correct code
for it.

Regarding 2, liboauth.dylib (or .dll, or .so on Linux) has to be loaded and
passed to ccall. You can load it by hand using dlopen, like this:

liboauth = dlopen(/path/of/liboauth.dylib)

This will raise an error if the path is not valid. If the library is in
your environment's standard path, you can pass its name to ccall as a
string instead of creating a pointer with dlopen.

Most of the Ptr{Uint8} you got in the code generated by Clang.jl are
actually mapping char *, which are C strings (ASCII, not Unicode). For
example, let's say you wanted to call puts from libc, which is a function
that gets a string as its argument, prints it to the screen followed by a
newline, and returns the number of printed characters. You could do it like
this:

ccall((:puts, libc), Cint, (Ptr{Uint8},), Hello, Randy)

So, you basically can pass your string as the function argument and it
should work. You don't need to pass a pointer, but it's good to know that
your Julia ASCIIString was converted to Ptr{Uint8} internally.

With this you should be able to call functions, but you still need to be
able to recover their output. The second argument to ccall is the C
function return type, but note that often C functions do not return their
output in the return type, but in a variable which was passed by reference
as one of its arguments. I don't know enough of liboauth to know what's the
case, so you will need to check the documentation. See the sections
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/calling-c-and-fortran-code/#accessing-data-through-a-pointer
and
http://docs.julialang.org/en/release-0.3/manual/calling-c-and-fortran-code/#passing-pointers-for-modifying-inputs
for more details on that.

 Hi all!


 I am having problems in updating Julia from the git. As usual, every three
 four days I download the last updates from the git and
 compile them, this is what I do (I'm running ubuntu with KDE, and Julia is
 v0.4) from the source directory I typed

 git pull  make



 then I got this

 ...

 ...
 iterator.jl
 inference.jl

 now I'm stucked, I looked on the internet but could find reason or solutions
 for this, it happened before and I had to remove everything and download and
 make everything from scratch,

 does anybody know how it is possible to fix this without completely
 reinstalling Julia??

 thanks!

[julia-users] Re: List of useful macros for beginners?

2014-08-31 Thread yfractal
please try @edit 

eg: @edit print

It should be added in recently(0.3.0 does not have this maro)

And I think it is a awesome maro!

 For example, the Julia manual illustrates the usage of @inbound and @simd 
 as performance tips. Can anyone provide a short list of macros with 
 examples besides these two? 



[julia-users] Macros for mixing things like max and sum

2014-08-31 Thread Mykel Kochenderfer
I want to do a calculation like this $\max_{a \in A} \sum_{s \in S} g(s, 
a)$.

Of course, I can do something like this:
maximum([sum([g(s, a) for s in S]) for a in A])

But it seems like it would be nicer to have the s in S and a in A go in 
front like in the written equation. I'd like something like this:
@max (a in A) @sum (s in S) g(s, a)

So, I tried writing these macros:
macro max(range, ex)
eval(:(maximum($(Expr(:typed_comprehension, :Float64, ex, range)
end
macro sum(range, ex)
eval(:(sum($(Expr(:typed_comprehension, :Float64, ex, range)
end

To test this, I tried:
A = 1:10
S = 1:10
g(s, a) = s*a
@max (a in A) @sum (s in S) g(s, a)


I get this error:
`convert` has no method matching convert(::Type{Float64}, 
::StepRange{Int64,Int64})

However, @max (a in A) @sum (s in S) g(s, 1)
works just fine. My macro doesn't seem to like having the a in the sum 
expression. Any tips would be appreciated!
