June 9, 2015Adnan Masood

So after having an awesome Day 1 @ MIT, I was in CSAIL library and met Pedro Ortega, NIPS 2015 Program Manager @adaptiveagents. Celebrity sighting! Today on Day 2, Dr. Jaakkola (Bio) (Personal Webpage) professor, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science/Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), went over the following . Non-linear classification and regression, kernels Passive aggressive algorithm Overfitting, regularization, generalization Content…

MIT Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Class Notes - Day 1

June 8, 2015June 9, 2015Adnan Masood1 Comment

As a follow up on MIT's tackling the challenges of Big Data, I am currently in Boston attending Machine Learning for Big Data and Text Processing Classification (and therefore blogging about it for posterity based on public domain data / papers - nothing posted here is MIT proprietary info to violate any T&C). MIT professional education courses are…

Deep Learning with Neural Networks

May 6, 2015May 6, 2015Adnan Masood

Deep learning architectures are built using multiple levels of non-linear aggregators, for instance neural nets with many hidden layers. In this introductory talk Will Stanton discusses the motivations and principles regarding learning algorithms for deep architectures. Bill provides a primer to neural networks, and deep Learning. He explains how Deep Learning gives some of the best-ever solutions to problems…

Monads by David Crockford

January 22, 2015Adnan Masood

The monadic curse is that once someone learns what monads are and how to use them, they lose the ability to explain it to other people. Excellent lecture. Transcript and Monads for Humans

Microservices by Martin Fowler @ Goto Conference

January 19, 2015Adnan Masood

An interesting portrayal of Microservices by Martin Fowler. The term "Microservice Architecture" has sprung up over the last few years to describe a particular way of designing software applications as suites of independently deployable services. While there is no precise definition of this architectural style, there are certain common characteristics around organization around business…

State of the IoT Security

January 9, 2015January 9, 2015Adnan Masood

In a recent podcast by Scott Hanselman and Erica Stanley, an Internet of Things (IoT) primer, the guest mentioned how security is being treated as an afterthought for most things IoT. This is unfortunately true in various areas of software development; but especially with the unprecedented growth of IoT, this lax in providing security standards will fast…

Resolution for the group's SID could not be resolved Error

November 8, 2014November 7, 2014Adnan Masood

I have recently encountered the following error when enumerating through the UserPrincipal.GetAuthorizationGroups collection. System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.PrincipalOperationException: An error (1301) occurred while enumerating the groups. The group's SID could not be resolved. The problem was introduction of the domain controller running Server 2012 while the machine running my application was win7 VM (applies to Win2K8 as well) With little…
