The Festival of Code was a yearly event organized by Young Rewired State to motivate young coders to "build something awesome".[1] The festival attracted sponsors ranging from the Met Office[2] to Google and SAP.[3]


In 2016, it was announced that year's Festival of Code would be postponed to 2017[4], but the event did not occur in 2017 or in subsequent years.

Format


The Festival of Code occurred over five days, usually in the last week of July to the first week of August.[5] Between Monday and Thursday, participants took part in the festival through one of 67 local centres across the UK,[6] plus two international centres in Kosovo and Bern.[7] Afterwards, between Friday and Sunday, participants all travel to one location within the UK to present their work from the week. In 2015, the weekend was held in Birmingham's International Convention Centre,[8][9] whereas in 2014 the event was at Plymouth University.[10]



Participants


In 2009, when the event first started, there were only 50 participants attending a weekend at Google's London offices. This number rose to roughly a thousand young people participating across the country, and at the foreign centres.[11]YRS also managed to increase takeup of the event by young female coders from 2% at their first event in 2009, to 30% in 2014.[5]

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
