Adnan Masood, a Machine Learning Phd's musings on Life, Technology, Research & Development
Writing High Quality Code in C# from Svetlin Nakov This is an excellent presentation by Svetlin Nakov of Telerik which I thoroughly enjoyed and decided to share it via my blog. Following is the abstract. The author introduces the principles of high-quality programming code construction during the software development process. The quality of the…
I recently spoke to 11th SecureIT conference on "OWASP Web Services Security - Securing your Service Oriented Architecture". This annual event was hosted by UC San Bernardino at Sheraton Fairplex Hotel. This SecureIT Conference conference provides focus and opportunities to higher education staff meeting the challenges of providing a secure information technology environment for campus communities. The…
Last night I had the privilege to listen to Dr. John Preskill in Beckman Auditorium here at Caltech with fellow Quantum aficianado David Lazar. John Preskill is the Richard P. Feynman Professor of Theoretical Physics at Caltech. This was definitely one of the most accessible lecture on this topic of general audience which was very well received. Dr. Preskill is definitely a teacher and…
Abstract: Load balancing allows network devices to distribute workload across multiple processing resources including server clusters and storage devices. This distribution helps maximize throughput, achieve optimal resource utilization, minimize response time and help use hardware effectively in multiple data-center locations. As a meta-heuristic enhancement to Psychic Routing[1], researchers present early work in a novel algorithm…
Node.js adaptability in a medium to large, regulated enterprise can be quite challenging; various process items including risk & compliance, OSS, supportability, static-code analysis, IDE/SC integration info-sec concerns etc need to be addressed before any new technology can be adapted. My co-worker Daniel Imrie-Situnayake did a great presentation on this very topic titled "Within the Whale: a…
Compiled the list of reviews and published on my academic site. Probabilistic Interestingness Measures, Probabilistic Graphical Models and Outlier Analysis / Bibtex and a poster, just cuz.
Last night's LA Machine Learning event on Mining Time Series Data w/ Sylvia Halasz of YP at OpenX Pasadena was quite interesting and well attended. Dr. Halasz spoke about Adaptive Ensemble Kalman Filter and her work on building n-gram correlation with the flu outbreaks. Some of the associated papers follow. The ngram chief complaint classifier: A novel…

Causality, Probability and Time by Dr. Samantha Kelinberg is a whirlwind yet original journey of the interdisciplinary study of probabilistic temporal logic and causal inference. Probabilistic causation is a fairly demanding area of study which studies the relationship between cause and effect using the tools of probability theory. Judea Pearl, in his seminal text "Causality:…
