As part of Microsoft Azure Marketplace Labs initiative, Dan Patrick of Opsgility gave a presentation on setting up Chef with Azure at Tampa Azure UG last night. Links from the talk and other labs: ETL in Hortonworks Sandbox on Azure. Hortonworks Sandbox virtual machine from the Microsoft Azure Marketplace and an Azure SQL Database sample. Extract data…
Pedro Domingos' The Master Algorithm - How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World is an interesting and thought provoking book about the state of machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence. Categorizing, classifying and clearly representing the ideas around any rapidly developing/evolving field is hard job. Machine learning with its…
Recently I ran into this bizarre issue while developing a windows service, and thought it would be great to share the remedy on interwebs to save others some time and pain. The problem usually starts when you have a windows service project, with possibly other associated class library projects as part of the solution. Everything worked fine, your…

During a discussion yesterday with software architect extraordinaire David Lazar regarding how everything old is new again, the topic of deep neural networks and its amazing success was brought up. Unless one is living under a rock for past five years, the advancements in artificial neural networks (ANN) has been quite significant and noteworthy. Since the…
الحمد للہ رب العالمین Wondering what to do on 4th of July long weekend? Learn Functional Programming in F# with my book! I am glad to inform that my book on Learning F# Functional Data Structures and Algorithms is published, and is now available via Amazon and other retailers. F# is a multi-paradigm programming language that…
Decision boundary is the region of a problem space in which the output label of a classifier is ambiguous. In this concise yet informative article Dr. Takashi J Ozaki outlines decision boundaries for deep learning and other Machine Learning classifiers and emphasize on parameter tuning for Deep Learning. The source code for this article is on github, and he…
Last week I attended Zeyuan Allen-Zhu dissertation defense on the topic of Novel Frameworks for Auctions and Optimization. The abstract of the talk follows. Abstract: This thesis introduces novel frameworks for modeling uncertainty in auctions, and for understanding first-order methods in optimization. The former provides robust analysis to alternative specifications of preferences and information structures in Vickrey…
The fun thing about spending time at MIT is that you always run into interesting things. Couple of days ago, I encountered the MIT Bot submission for NASA - Sample Return Robot Challenge. NASA and the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) in Worcester teamed up for competing in the Sample Return Robot Challenge to demonstrate a robot that…
