Distance Metrics for Machine Learning
Many machine learning algorithmns can be summarized as transforming data to n-dimensional vectors and computing similarity between points by means of some distance metric. This article explores four of these metrics—the Euclidean, Manhattan, Minkowski, and Hamming distances—and how to compute them with Python.

Caching in Python Using the LRU Cache Strategy
Caching is an essential optimization technique. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Python’s @lru_cache decorator to cache the results of your functions using the LRU cache strategy. This is a powerful technique you can use to leverage the power of caching in your implementations.
