Global Namespace

The global namespace contains any names defined at the position of the main program. Namespace in Python creates the global namespace when the main program body starts, and it remains in actuality until the practitioner terminates.Rigorously speaking, this may not be the only global namespace that exists. The practitioner also creates a global namespace for any module that your program loads with the import statement.




I am just curious, I just recently learned that the Python built-in, global, and local namespace that the interpreter uses to reference objects is basically a Python dictionary.

I am curious as to why when the global() function is called, the dictionary prints the variable objects in a string but the objects in functions defined refer to a hardware memory address?

For example-

This script:

print("Inital global namespace:")
print(globals())

my_var = "This is a variable."

print("Updated global namespace:")
print(globals())

def my_func():
        my_var = "Is this scope nested?"

print("Updated global namespace:")
print(globals())

Outputs this:

Inital global namespace:
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x10a483208>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, '__file__': 'global_check', '__cached__': None}
Updated global namespace:
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x10a483208>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, '__file__': 'global_check', '__cached__': None, 'my_var': 'This is a variable.'}
Updated global namespace:
{'__name__': '__main__', '__doc__': None, '__package__': None, '__loader__': <_frozen_importlib_external.SourceFileLoader object at 0x10a483208>, '__spec__': None, '__annotations__': {}, '__builtins__': <module 'builtins' (built-in)>, '__file__': 'global_check', '__cached__': None, 'my_var': 'This is a variable.', 'my_func': <function my_func at 0x10a40ce18>}

'my_var': 'This is a variable.', 'my_func': <function my_func at 0x10a40ce18>

Tanh Activation Function

Image
With a difference in output range of -1 to 1, the tanh activation function is remarkably similar to the sigmoid/logistic activation function, and even has the same S-shape. The larger the input (more positive), the closer the output to 1.0, and the smaller the input (more negative), the closer the output to -1.0. Mathematically it can be represented as: The following are some of the benefits of using this activation function: We can simply map the output values as strongly negative, neutral, or very positive because the tanh activation function's output is Zero centred. Because its values range from -1 to, it's commonly utilised in hidden layers of neural networks. As a result, the hidden layer's mean is 0 or extremely close to it. It aids in data centering and makes learning the next layer much simpler. To understand the tanh activation function's limits, look at its gradient. As you can see, it, like the sigmoid activation function, has the problem of vanishing gradi

Sigmoid Activation Function And Its Uses.

Image
The sigmoid activation function is a mathematical function commonly used in artificial neural networks and machine learning models. It maps the input values to a range between 0 and 1, providing smooth and continuous output. The sigmoid function is defined as: σ(x) = 1 / (1 + e^(-x)) Where: x is the input to the function e is the base of the natural logarithm (approximately 2.71828) The sigmoid function has an S-shaped curve that increases from 0 to 1 as the input value increases. It has the desirable property of being differentiable, which is a valuable for training neural networks using gradient-based optimization algorithms like backpropagation. One of the main applications of the sigmoid function is in binary classification problems, where the goal is to assign inputs to one of two classes. The sigmoid function is commonly used as the activation function in the output layer of a neural network for this purpose. The output value, between 0 and 1, can be interpreted as the pro
