Judea Pearl Judea Pearl (born 1936) is an Israeli-born American computer scientist and philosopher, best known for championing the probabilistic approach to artificial intelligence and the development of Bayesian networks (see the article on belief propagation). He is also credited for developing a theory of causal and counterfactual inference based on structural models (see article on causality). He is the 2011 winner of the ACM Turing Award, the highest distinction in computer science, "for fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence through the development of a calculus for probabilistic and causal reasoning".[1][2][3][4] Judea Pearl is the father of journalist Daniel Pearl, who was kidnapped and murdered by militants in Pakistan connected with Al-Qaeda and the International Islamic Front in 2002 for his American and Jewish heritage.[5][6] Biography[edit] Pearl is currently a professor of computer science and statistics and director of the Cognitive Systems Laboratory at UCLA.
The Locker Project: Why Leave Data Tracking to Others? Do It Yourself With companies looking to follow your data trail online, why not take possession of that information and find innovative uses for it yourself? That’s the question Jeremie Miller — the developer known for building the open-source protocol that powers many Instant Messaging programs — is trying to answer. Miller is building The Locker Project, an open-source effort that allows users to capture and archive their own online “data exhaust,” the term used for the crumbs of data we leave behind as we move around the web. Using APIs and feeds, the Locker Project will pull in tweets, updates, pictures, check-ins, transactions, contacts and webpages, and will allow a user to store it on his or her own server or as part of a hosted service similar to the blog platform WordPress.

Perceptrons in Lisp (A simple machine learning exercise) So having missed Stanford's Machine Learning course (mostly out of laziness - I'm sure it was great) I'm trying to learn this stuff on my own. I'm going through MIT's Machine Learning notes on OpenCourseWare. They're easy [for me] to digest without being insulting, and they help me avoid searching for "The right book" to learn from (a task that would delay my learning anything but make me feel busy). After reading the first two lectures I decided I should stop and practice what I've learned: a simple perceptron learning algorithm. What's a Perceptron anyway? It sounds like a Transformer. Who’s who of bad password practices – banks, airlines and more Ah, passwords. Love ‘em or hate ‘em, they’re a necessary evil of the digital age. The reality is we all end up with an alphabet soup of passwords spread over dozens of various sites and services across the internet.
8 Great Mind Mapping Tools For Effective Brainstorming A mind map is considered a great way to brainstorm and generate more ideas. It helps you create a number of small ideas from one big idea, see how different ideas could be connected together and create a plan of action. This article talks about eight mind mapping tools to help you brainstorm effectively. Almost all of them have free versions available. Some of them also help you collaborate with other people while working on the tool. Check them out. Before you start your social media strategy, read this Lots of people have been asking me recently how they can get started with their social media strategies. In particular, people want a template or off the shelf action plan. There aren’t any quick fixes here and as with any good strategy it takes hard work, but it is worth the investment. I’m going to recommend a few points well worth considering before you write your social media strategy and plans, which will get them off to a flying start. Consider how social can help your organisational goals. I can’t stress this enough.
Operations, machine learning and premature babies Julie Steele and I recently had lunch with Etsy’s John Allspaw and Kellan Elliott-McCrea. I’m not sure how we got there, but we made a connection that was (to me) astonishing between web operations and medical care for premature infants. I’ve written several times about IBM’s work in neonatal intensive care at the University of Toronto.
