  2. Decorator pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decorator_pattern

    Decorator UML class diagram. The decorator pattern can be used to extend (decorate) the functionality of a certain object statically, or in some cases at run-time, independently of other instances of the same class, provided some groundwork is done at design time.

  3. Ray casting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_casting

    Ray-cast image of idealized universal joint with shadow. Ray casting is the methodological basis for 3D CAD/CAM solid modeling and image rendering. It is essentially the same as ray tracing for computer graphics where virtual light rays are "cast" or "traced" on their path from the focal point of a camera through each pixel in the camera sensor to determine what is visible along the ray in the ...

    Key-value stores: Key-value stores store data as pairs of keys and values. They are simple and efficient for certain types of operations, like caching. Examples: Redis, DynamoDB. Column-family stores: Column-family stores organize data into columns instead of rows, making them suitable for large-scale distributed systems and

  5. Graph database - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_database

    Instead of an email address being found by looking up its user's key in the userpk column, the user record contains a pointer that directly refers to the email address record. That is, having selected a user, the pointer can be followed directly to the email records, there is no need to search the email table to find the matching records.

    Text file with portion of The Human Side of Animals by Royal Dixon, displayed by the command cat in an xterm window. In computing, plain text is a loose term for data (e.g. file contents) that represent only characters of readable material but not its graphical representation nor other objects (floating-point numbers, images, etc.).

  7. Q-learning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Q-learning

    Double Q-learning [23] is an off-policy reinforcement learning algorithm, where a different policy is used for value evaluation than what is used to select the next action. In practice, two separate value functions and are trained in a mutually symmetric fashion using separate experiences. The double Q-learning update step is then as follows:

  8. Cryptographically secure pseudorandom number generator

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cryptographically_secure...

    In the asymptotic setting, a family of deterministic polynomial time computable functions : {,} {,} for some polynomial p, is a pseudorandom number generator (PRNG, or PRG in some references), if it stretches the length of its input (() > for any k), and if its output is computationally indistinguishable from true randomness, i.e. for any probabilistic polynomial time algorithm A, which ...

  9. Partial function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partial_function

    A partial function arises from the consideration of maps between two sets X and Y that may not be defined on the entire set X.A common example is the square root operation on the real numbers : because negative real numbers do not have real square roots, the operation can be viewed as a partial function from to .
