Baklava and mille-feuille come together in this chewy, buttery, sweet and creamy morsel.
Data can change over time. This can result in poor and degrading predictive performance in predictive models that assume a static relationship between input and output variables. This problem of the changing underlying relationships in the data is called concept drift in the…
Which machine learning algorithm should you use? It is a central question in applied machine learning. In a recent paper by Randal Olson and others, they attempt to answer it and give you a guide for algorithms and parameters to try on your problem first, before spot checking a…
A profile of UConn basketball coach Geno Auriemma, who has not found peace despite unprecedented success.
At any given moment there are roughly 6,000 planes on their way to somewhere over American airspace. Getting them safely down to the ground will depend upon the efforts of a small group of controllers who, nearly without fail, get the job done despite long hours, grim working…
How a group of high school kids from a sleepy beach town in California became criminal masterminds.
Low power wireless technologies are adapting to the Internet of Things by including IP connectivity and mesh networking.
Each of the many short-range wireless technologies has unique benefits, requiring careful attention to product complexity, power consumption, and cost.
The multitude of short-range wireless technologies provides engineers with optimized solutions for their applications, but makes careful selection paramount.
Really lucky people may have a specific set of skills that bring chance opportunities their way.
Summary: There are five basic styles of recommenders differentiated mostly by their core algorithms. You need to understand what’s going on inside the box in order to know if you’re truly optimizing this critical tool. In our first article, “Understanding and Selecting…
New computing architectures aim to extend artificial intelligence from the cloud to smartphones
Who is going to win this war of predictions and on what cost? Let’s explore.
We highlight recent developments in machine learning and Deep Learning related to multiscale methods, which analyze data at a variety of scales to capture a wider range of relevant features. We give a general overview of multiscale methods, examine recent successes, and compare…

“The reason women-only billiards tournaments exist is not because the players can’t beat men. It’s because they can.”
Time series forecasting is an easy to use, low-cost solution that can provide powerful insights. This post will walk through introduction to three fundamental steps of building a quality model.
Cardiac arrest kills off parts of the heart. Once dead, the cells don’t recover. But scientists may have come up with a way to reverse this – and potentially save thousands of people.
