Optimizing Collatz Sequence with Dynamic Programming
Even though Kurtz and Simon proved that a natural generalization of the Collatz problem is algorithmically undecidable, it is still fairly easy to brute force the 3n+1 conjecture with large values of n and empirically see it converge. Project Euler's problem 14 queries about which starting number, under one million, produces the longest sequence? Since Premature optimization is often considered root…
Bayesian inference - A simple example
Illustration of the main idea of Bayesian inference, in the simple case of a univariate Gaussian with a Gaussian prior on the mean (and known variances).

Exploring Bayes Point Machine with Infer.NET
Infer.NET is a framework developed by Microsoft research for running Bayesian inference in graphical models and for probabilistic programming. Along with tutorials and examples, Infer.NET 2.4 beta 2 which was recently made avaialble (17th Dec 2010) can be downloaded from here. In this example we explore the similar concept as described in the infer.net bayes point machine tutorial…

ACM's KDD 2008 Conference – Day 1 Proceedings
ACM's KDD 2008 is the annual premier international forum for data mining researchers and practitioners from academia, industry, and government to share their ideas, research results and experiences. This year this event was held in Loews Lake Las Vegas resort where Jeff Bergman and I attended it. Details of the program can be found here…
Social Network Analysis – Network Theory Problem.
While reading up on outlier cohesion analysis in collaborative social networks, I came across this article which I found pretty interesting in the security niche; “Structural Analysis and Destabilizing Terrorist Networks” by N. Memon et al. The article discusses key areas in network analysis such as (i) cohesion analysis (such as cliques, ncliques, n-clans and…
