History


The Austin Film Critics Association was founded in 2005 by local film critics Cole Dabney and Robert “Bobby” McCurdy while attending Bowie High School in Austin. The organization grew in its first eight years, expanding from three members in 2005 to 25 members in 2013.[1]


On January 12, 2007, after only one year in existence, Entertainment Weekly called the AFCA “wildly contrarian” for naming Ellen Page Best Actress for her role in Hard Candy over Helen Mirren for her performance in The Queen, as Mirren had swept the category so far during award season.[2]


The association chose to name the group’s Breakthrough Artist Award to honor Robert “Bobby” McCurdy starting in 2010. McCurdy died on December 19, 2010, while training to become a Naval Aviator.[3]

Dulmage-Mendelsohn matrix decomposition in Python

Image
0 Matlab has a function called dmperm that computes the so-called Dulmage–Mendelsohn decomposition of a n x n matrix. From wikipedia, the Dulmage–Mendelsohn is a partition of the vertices of a bipartite graph into subsets, with the property that two adjacent vertices belong to the same subset if and only if they are paired with each other in a perfect matching of the graph. Looking both on scipy and numpy, I could not find this function, nor some similar version. Is it possible to implement it using basic linear algebra operations? Any idea if this is implemented in some Python package? python matlab linear-algebra graph-theory matrix-decomposition share | improve this question
