mikelingwiking: hi, the SG_REF is about to count how many references been pointed to this object?09:00
mikelingfor example https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/blob/develop/src/shogun/evaluation/GradientResult.h#L20809:01
mikelingafter we use std::map to instead of shogun::CMap, is that mean we could just remove those SG_REF and SG_UNREF?09:01
mikelingor we want to use shared_ptr?09:01
@wikingmmmm09:03
@wikingthat's a good question09:03
@wikingi mean DynArray had no such thing09:03
@wikingbut DynamicObjectArray does09:03
@wiking(SG_REF/UNREF)09:03
@wikingmikeling, Clist is the same right?09:04
@wikingi.e. it ++ the ref coutner09:04
@wiking*counter09:04
mikelinghmmm, I haven't check that09:04
mikelingbut CMap does09:04
mikelingbecause I'm working on it09:05
@wikingk09:05
@wikingso the thing is then09:05
@wikingwe cannot do this change09:05
@wikinguntil we dont have autoref counter09:05
@wikinglike shared_ptr09:05
mikelingalright, so I won't touch anyplace related to SG_REF09:06
mikelingor SG_UNREF09:06
mikelinguntil this summer :)09:06
@wikingok yeah once we are done with the transition09:06
geektoniwiking: can we add a new branch to Shogun repository called 'feature/progress'? So that I can make pull requests directly against it instead of 'develop'.09:38
@wikingsure thig09:38
@wikingthing09:38
@wikinglemme do it09:38

mikelingwiking: what's the granularity for DynArray?11:28
@wiking?11:29
@wikingwhat sense?11:29

geektoniwiking: ping15:12
@wikingpong15:12
geektonihey, do you remember the discussion about adding a boolean flag to the progress?15:12
geektoniI run into a small problem.15:13
@wikingtell me15:13
@wikingyes i remembe15:13
@wikingr15:13
geektonithis boolean flag should be evaluated each time we increment the iterator15:13
geektonibut15:13
geektoniif a do something like this progress(range(1, 10), io, i<30)15:14
geektonithe predicate i<30 is evaluated and I will only receive the evaluated value15:14
geektoniso, how can I pass a predicate as a parameter of a function?15:15
geektoniis that possible using C++?15:15
@sukeyPull Request #3824 "Replace DynArray with std::vector for io module"  synchronized by MikeLing - https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/pull/382415:17
geektoniwiking: I mean, we could simply write:  for (auto i=progress(...).begin(); i != progress(...).end() && condition; i++)15:26
geektonibut it is less concise15:27
@wikingmmm15:27
@wikingwell15:27
@wikingthe thing is that the predicate in a way should be a function ptr :P15:28
@wikingi.e. std::function15:28
geektoniso, when I need to add a condition to a loop I also need to write manually the function I have to use?15:30
@wikingyeah like a lambda? :)15:30
@wikingi mean it's not such a bad thing that you expect there a lambda expression, or?15:30
@wikingso you expect there a function that returns a bool15:31
geektoniyeah exactly15:31
@wikingand has vararg function args ;p15:31
@wikingso that you can stuff any number of argument into the predicate15:32
geektonimmh what about these guys --> http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/functional/15:32
@wikinggeektoni, operator class?15:32
geektonino no, apparently inside stl there is already a library which gives you all the function object to perform simple logical operations15:33
@wikingyeah15:34
@wikingbut i mean what if you want some custom predicate15:34
@wiking?15:34
@wikingi mean something that not only depends on the i (the range variable)15:35
@wikingbut some other external things15:35
geektonimmh yeah sure.15:35
@wikinglike: bool earlyStop15:35
@wikingprogress(range(1, 10), io, [](bool) { /* complex predicate */ } )15:36
@wikingright?15:36
geektonithat's a way to do it15:36
geektonibut I don't like it very much15:36
@iglesiasggeektoni: why not?15:36
geektoni"aesthetic reasons". I prefer to have methods which don't require lambdas.15:37
geektoniI mean15:38
geektoniif there is no other way15:38
geektoniI'm fine with it15:38
@wikingbtw i was wrong it should be progress(range(1, 10), io, []() -> bool { /* complex predicate */ } )15:38
@wikingi mean this way it can be compact15:38
@iglesiasgI think using a lambda would be a way of using progress15:38
@wikingof course if your predicate is more complicated15:38
@iglesiasgbut it could also be done with std::bind and std::function15:38
@wikingyou can put that out into a function15:38
@iglesiasgas wiking said before15:39
@wikingyep15:39
@iglesiasgso, I think it wouldn't really be like progress requires a lambda15:39
@wikingon the other hand15:39
@wikingwould this be the usual case?15:39
@iglesiasgbut rather that it can be used with a lambda (or with std::function/bind)15:39
@wikingto have some custom predicate?15:40
@wikingi mean i understand it's not the nicest15:40
@wikingalthough the lambda part i actually like15:40
@wikingquestion is that whether this is the common way to use progress?15:40
@wikingor rather the corner case?15:40
geektoniI would say it is a corner case15:41
@wikingbecause yeah i like smooth apis as well15:42
@wikingbut i reckon if it's not the general usecase15:42
@wikinghaving the above should be fine :P15:42
@wikingi know15:42
@wikingi will regret this sentence15:42
@wikingin like 1 year time15:42
geektoniahah15:42
@wikingbut if we dont have a better ide15:42
@wiking*idea15:42
@wikingthen i would say lets go with this? :P15:42
@wikingi mean i dont have a crystal ball15:43
@wikingand i'm not james gosling nor dennis ritchie15:44
@wikingso i cannot come up with a nice api atm :P15:44
geektoniok then, std::function/lambdas approved!15:44
@wikinghehe cool15:45
@wikingbut i mean if you have a nicer smoother way15:45
@wikingi'm all ears :)15:45
geektoniI don't think there is a smoother way :P15:46
geektoniI will use the less troublesome15:46
@wikingcool15:47
@wikingthnx15:47
geektonibtw wiking, could you restart Travis on this one https://github.com/shogun-toolbox/shogun/pull/3745 ?15:48
geektonithanks :D15:49
@wikinglemme try15:50
@wikingdone15:52
mikelingwiking: why the default granularity is 128?16:36
-!- leagoetz [~leagoetz@eduroam-int-pat-8-67.ucl.ac.uk] has joined #shogun16:40
mikelingso if I use resize_array(5), I'm actually create a array with 138 length?16:43
mikelinglisitsyn: ping16:45
-!- iglesiasg [~iglesiasg@217.119.234.214] has quit [Quit: leaving]16:46
@wikingmikeling, lisitsyn is on holiday16:58
@wikings16:58
@wikingmikeling, nono... but you shouldn't care about this16:58
@wikingas this is solved within std::vector16:58
@wikingresize_array(5) -> create a memory of 128 items16:58
@wikingbut if you have resize_array(129) then it's 25616:58
@wikingbecause that's the granurality16:59
@wikingand there's a variable that is maintained that basically takes care of how many actual elements are being stored in the DynArray16:59
mikelingwiking: mmm, so I just ignore the places have set_granularity() or so?16:59
@wikingyes17:00
mikelingdue to we are going to use std::vector17:00
mikelingok17:00
mikelinggot it17:00
geektoniwiking: ok, I've reached this result https://pastebin.com/CRgHPKmQ17:11
geektoniDo you think we have to give the possibility to supply also lambdas with parameters? (e.g [](int & a) {/**/} )17:12
geektonior we can live on only with lambda's capture list?17:13

@wikinggeektoni, mmm17:50
@wikinggeektoni, yeah that's why i thought that the arg of the function should be vararg17:50
@wiking:)17:50
@wikingthis way there's no limitation for what you can pass to the function17:51
geektonimmh ok17:51
@wikingif you use lambda17:51
@wikingthen of course you have all the [] params as well17:51
geektonicurrently I'm using std::function to specify the function type we want17:52
geektonifor example progress(.... std::function<bool()> condition)17:52

olinguyenwiking: I started a week earlier so I have a blog post up now: https://olinguyen.github.io/2017-05-26-gsoc-week1/. I fixed some editing, and fixed a bug I was having with random forests. Today, I'll look into a bug with crossvalidation, start on a patch for making random forest more explicit when crashing because of null values20:16
