Backpropagation is the cornerstone algorithm powering much of the deep learning revolution. Coupled with gradient descent, it allows us to train incredibly complex neural networks on vast datasets. However, it’s not a silver bullet. One of the fundamental challenges that can prevent backpropagation from finding the best possible solution is the presence of local minima in the optimization landscape. Read more

In many programming interviews, candidates encounter challenges that test their ability to manipulate strings efficiently. One such problem involves reversing a string with a twist: only the letters should be reversed, while non-letter characters remain in their original positions. In this blog post, we’ll explore this problem and present an optimized Python solution. Read more
