Natural Logarithm definition | decimal approximation

In this example, we define the natural logarithm (lnx=log_e(x)). Then we use our calculators to get a decimal approximation for a natural logarithm.

Approximate nearest neighbors and vector models, introduction to Annoy

Vector models are being used in a lot of different fields: natural language processing, recommender systems, computer vision, and other things. They are fast and convenient and are often state of the art in terms of accuracy. One of the challenges with vector models is that as the number of dimensions increase, finding similar items gets challenging. Erik developed a library called Annoy that uses a forest of random tree to do fast approximate nearest neighbor queries in high dimensional spaces. We will cover some specific applications of vector models with and how Annoy works.
