Abstract: Robert Scoble (Tech Savvy Social Butterfly) is calling the next age of computing the “Age of Context”. Mobile devices, wearables, and other sensors are starting to become commonplace everywhere we look. In this talk I will show you how – for under $50 – you can get involved and start experimenting with hardware that can…
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…
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…
Recently attended Big Data Event @ Caltech. The topic was Big Data, Big Opportunities: Predicting the Future One Byte at a Time and the panel and speakers didn't disappoint. Following is the slidedeck and pictures from the event.
Big Data Event @ Caltech Event Abstract: It’s raining data. Actually, it’s more like a hurricane. Every website, email, SMS text, mouse click, download and online purchase generates data, a lot of data. This data is being assembled into massive data sets and used by scientists, researchers, companies and the government to develop new products,…
Last week I spoke to Southern California .NET Architecture Group regarding implementation of Service Oriented Design Patterns with Windows Communication Foundation. The talk was an architectural overview of so called SOA tenants and how to implement these best practices using WCF. Being technologists, we tend to focus more on underlying technologies and have tendency to avoid topics like…
Cloud camp LA happened couple of weeks ago at the coresite campus in downtown LA. The highlights of the evening were Dave Nielsen's intro, Lynn Langit's NOSQL session, Bret Statham's CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) talk and coresite's datacenter tour. Slides from Bret's lightning talk can be downloaded here. NoSQL for the SQL Server DBA View more…
