Starting from Julia 0.7, missing values are represented using the new missing object. Resulting from intense design discussions, experimentations and language improvements developed over several years, it is the heir of the NA value implemented in the DataArrays package, which used to be the standard way of representing missing data in Julia.
More than half a century of research in theoretical computer science has brought us a great wealth of advanced algorithmic techniques. These techniques can be combined in a variety of ways to provide us with sophisticated, often beautifully elegant algorithms. This diversity of methods is truly stimulating and intellectually satisfying. But is it also necessary?
A thoughtful article by one of the leading machine learning researchers on whether we can call “machine learning” “artificial intelligence”.
