Resurgence in Neural Networks - tjake.blog

Resurgence in Neural Networks - tjake.blog: "If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll notice there has been a lot of news recently about neural networks and the brain. A few years ago the idea of virtual brains seemed so far from reality, especially for me, but in the past few years there has been a breakthrough that has turned neural networks from nifty little toys to actual useful things that keep getting better at doing tasks computers are traditionally very bad at. In this post I’ll cover some background on Neural networks and my experience with them. Then go over the recent discoveries I’ve learned about. At the end of the post I’ll share a sweet little github project I wrote that implements this new neural network approach."

State of the Dart

State of the Dart: "The libraries are the most immature, and feel a bit like an afterthought. There are excellent highly evolved class libraries to copy from, but it feels like they started from scratch. Or started from JavaScript, which is about the same thing. For example they just added Object.hashCode, and there still isn’t a Collection.equals method. But compared to JavaScript, the Dart libraries are already a giant win. I suppose they are prioritizing breadth over depth, which makes sense. So far no show-stoppers, but there is still an alarming amount of churn in the APIs."

jQuery Boilerplate: "So, you've tried your hand at writing jQuery plugins and you're comfortable putting together something that probably works. Awesome! Thing is, you think there might be better ways you could be writing them - you've seen them done a number of different ways in the wild, but aren't really sure what the differences between these patterns are or how to get started with them."

Rails, You Have Turned into Java. Congratulations! « Discursive: "You’ll find yourself staring at incomprehensible mega-frameworks maintained by developers who are unapologetic about how little they care for writing documentation.     You’ll also end up with the most common pattern from Hell: the single Rails application that runs an entire business.

It is an iterative method to estimate parameters of a mathematical model from a set of observed data which contains outliers. It is a non-deterministic algorithm in the sense that it produces a reasonable result only with a certain probability, with this probability increasing as more iterations are allowed. The algorithm was first published by Fischler and Bolles at SRI International in 1981."

SAX - jmotif - Walk through steps of Symbolic Aggregate approXimation. - A temporal data-mining toolkit based on SAX and TFIDF statistics. - Google Project Hosting: "SAX transforms a time-series X of length n into the string of arbitrary length , where typically, using an alphabet A of size a > 2. The SAX algorithm consist of two steps: during the first step it transforms the original time-series into a PAA representation and this intermediate representation gets converted into a string during the second step. Use of PAA at the first step brings the advantage of a simple and efficient dimensionality reduction while providing the important lower bounding property as shown in the previous section. The second step, actual conversion of PAA coefficients into letters, is also computationally efficient and the contractive property of symbolic distance was proven by Lin et al."

QuickTime: Screen Recording with audio...: Apple Support Communities

QuickTime: Screen Recording with audio...: Apple Support Communities: "just figured this out myself today. you're on right track.

open system pref and go to SOUND - got to OUTPUT tab and choose soundflower (2ch) as your OUTPUT

open safari and open a new window - drag SWF file into that. it should play in the browser window. hit pause on the video.

open quicktime. go to NEW SCREEN RECORDING, and use the arrow to the right to open options. Choose sound INPUT as soundflower (2ch). do not raise the volume in the record window - keep it at lowest possible else you'll get an echo.

you are ready to roll.

so the browser will be outputting sound to soundflower, whilst the quicktime screenrecord gets input from soundflower. works like a charm. sounds great.

good luck.

asm.js: "Abstract

This specification defines asm.js, a strict subset of JavaScript that can be used as a low-level, efficient target language for compilers. This sublanguage effectively describes a safe virtual machine for memory-unsafe languages like C or C++. A combination of static and dynamic validation allows JavaScript engines to employ an ahead-of-time (AOT) optimizing compilation strategy for valid asm.js code."

HIDUINO: Your Arduino is Now A MIDI Interface: "[Dimitri Diakopoulos] dropped into our tip line to let us know his HIDUINO project. The HIDUINO is a set of firmware for the ATmega8u2 used in the new revisions of the Arduino  (Uno, and Mega2560 for example).  Once the HIDUINO is loaded your Arduino can show up as any HID compliant device you wish, no extra drivers necessary. This means that using this firmware, music software such as Max, Ableton, Reaktor etc can read and write MIDI directly to/from the Arduino. Currently the project is for direct USB-MIDI communication but could be altered to act as a variety of HID devices."

Opera Developer News - 300 million users and move to WebKit: "On the same day as announcing that Opera has 300 million users, we're also announcing that for all new products Opera will use WebKit as its rendering engine and V8 as its JavaScript engine. It's built using the open-source Chromium browser as one of its components. Of course, a browser is much more than just a renderer and a JS engine, so this is primarily an "under the hood" change. Consumers will initially notice better site compatibilty, especially with mobile-facing sites - many of which have only been tested in WebKit browsers. The first product will be for Smartphones, which we'll demonstrate at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona at the end of the month. Opera Desktop and other products will transition later."

JavaScript becoming default language for GNOME apps - The H Open: News and Features

JavaScript becoming default language for GNOME apps - The H Open: News and Features: "After a long discussion weighing the arguments for and against several languages, the developers apparently decided on JavaScript, as it is already well supported in GNOME 3 by virtue of the fact that the desktop's GNOME Shell interface uses it to implement its user interface. Reitter also points to ongoing work to make JavaScript better supported as a first class desktop development language. GNOME's JavaScript plans are informed in part by how the language is used for similar purposes in Windows 8, Firefox OS and other systems, and that, the team hopes, will make it easier for developers who are new to GNOME to work with it."

Maximum parsimony (phylogenetics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "Ordered characters have a particular sequence in which the states must occur through evolution, such that going between some states requires passing through an intermediate. This can be thought of complementarily as having different costs to pass between different pairs of states. In the eye-color example above, it is possible to leave it unordered, which imposes the same evolutionary "cost" to go from brown-blue, green-blue, green-hazel, etc."

AmplifyJS - A Component Library for jQuery

AmplifyJS - A Component Library for jQuery: "AmplifyJS is a set of components designed to solve common web application problems with a simplistic API. Amplify's goal is to simplify all forms of data handling by providing a unified API for various data sources. Amplify's store component handles persistent client-side storage, using standards like localStorage and sessionStorage, but falling back on non-standard implementations for older browsers. Amplify's request adds some additional features to jQuery's ajax method while abstracting away the underlying data source."

Neighbor-Joining Method

Neighbor-Joining Method: "The neighbor-joining method (NJ) is a distance based method (requires a distance matrix) and uses the star decomposition method.

Algorithm
Neighbor-joining is a recursive algorithm. Each step in the recursion consists of the following steps:
1.   Based on the current distance matrix calculate a modified distance matrix Q (see below).
2.   Find the least distant pair of nodes in Q (= the closest neighbors = the pair with the lowest distance value). Create a new node on the tree joining the two closest nodes: the two nodes are linked by their common ancestral node.
3.   Calculate the distance of each of the nodes in the pair to their ancestral node.
4.   Calculate the distance of all nodes outside of this pair to their ancestral node.
5.   Start the algorithm again, considering the pair of joined neighbors as a single taxon (the terminal nodes are replaced by their ancestral node and the ancestral node is then treated as a terminal node) and using the distances calculated in the previous step.

Let's Push Things Forward - Answering the question: "How do I develop an app for GNOME?"

Let's Push Things Forward - Answering the question: "How do I develop an app for GNOME?": "Why JavaScript?
Our language of choice needs to be dynamic and high level.
There is already momentum in the GNOME Project for JavaScript -- it's used in GNOME Shell and GNOME Documents.

There's a lot of work going into the language to make it especially fast, embeddable, and framework-agnostic.
JavaScript is increasingly being seen as a first class desktop programming language -- it us being used in Windows 8, mobile platforms, and for local web applications.
JavaScript is self-contained -- it doesn't come with its own set of core libraries, which makes it more convenient for us when integrating it into the platform."

It is very likely that if you look into your spam folder, you’ll find quite a few emails containing these words, whereas, unless you are in the business of importing diamonds from Nigeria and have some aristocratic family, your “normal” emails would rarely contain these words. They have a much higher frequency within the category “Spam” than within the Ham, which makes them a potential flag for undesired business ventures.

Python Diary | Good use for the Http-Accept header?

Python Diary | Good use for the Http-Accept header?: "While working on a project which needs to use JSON for AJAX functions, I thought about using the Http-Accept header to return content depending on what the client asks. Most web browsers send this header, and it is usually on the lines of, I accept anything in the XML mimetypes, including HTML. Since headers can be set from jQuery and various client software, I thought... Why not take advantage of this Http-Accept header and build a Django middleware to return the content which is accepted by the client. So far, it only detects and returns JSON, and there is no caching enabled. Keep in mind that this is my very first version of this middleware, which I did test and works as expected."
