Summaries of Wikipedia
Usage Data
Paul Houle, Ontology2

The x-axis is months since Jan 2008, the Yaxis is the total number of hits to all
Wikipedia pages.
There are some violent variations that are
probably caused by data quality problems, in
particular around index 30 (2010-06 and
2010-07) we see a drop in hits, then a very
high number of hits in (2010-11). I think
there may be a few weeks of data missing
sometime in that time range

$The y-axis here is the fraction of hits to the English Wikipedia. At the beginning, more than 50% of the traffic went to the “en” Wikipedia, but that has fallen off and now “en” represents a bit more than 1/3 of the traffic. “en” is still dominant, but others are catching up.$

$The y-axis here is the fraction of traffic to the German Wikipedia. Like “en”, the fraction falls over time. Note that there is a high spike at Dec 2008$

The y-axis here is hits to the Japanese Wikipedia
and the story is similar to “de” except the crazy
spike happens around March 2013

$The fraction of traffic in the francophone region, “fr”, actually looks stable over time$

$The fraction of hits to the Korean language Wikipedia actually have been increasing (something has to if “en”, “de” and “ja” are declining)$

$The fraction of hits to the Chinese Wikipedia has grown over time, but there is a drop in the time frame that looks unstable on the summary graph at the beginning and another crazy spike$

$The fraction of traffic in the “es” cultural zone seems to have a strong seasonal variation$

$Top 15 Wikimedia Sites ordered by fraction of all-time hits. Note that “ja” is Japan, “zh” is Chinese, and “tr” is Turkish. en.mw and ja.mw both come up with a single URI, so these probably represent a redirect somewhere.$

Notes on data sources
• Original source: http://dumps.wikimedia.org/other/pagecounts-raw/
• Hourly files were aggregated at the month level; a few invalid (empty
or full of HTML) files were removed as were a few lines that did not
parse. Content sizes were removed
• URIs that got fewer than 10 hits a month were removed from the
monthlies (this reduces the number of URIs roughly tenfold!)

Chatbots are growing in popularity as developers face the limitations of the mobile app. User interfaces that simulate a human conversation, the history of chatbots goes back to the late 18th century. I'll take you on a tour of that history with an eye on finding insights on what is possible today and in the near future with chatbots. Issues Covered: Amazon Alexa, Facebook Messenger Chatbots, Alan Turing, and much more.

Nowadays software companies are facing a fierce competition to deliver better products but offering a higher value to the customer. In this context, software product value has becoming a major concern in software industry, leading for improving the knowledge and better understanding about how to estimate the software value in early development phases. Other way, software companies encounter problems such as releasing products that were developed with high expectations, but they gradually fall into the category of a mediocre product when they are released to the market. These high expectations are tightly related to the expected and offered software value to the customer. This paper presents an approach for estimating the software product value, focusing on the development phases. We propose a value indicators approach to quantify the real value of the development products. The aim is early identifying potential deviations in the real software value, by comparing the estimated versus the expected. We present an internal validation to show the feasibility of this approach to produce benefits in industry projects.

We apply bitemporal analysis to more than 500 daily data files supplied by the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation to show that churn dominates the dynamics of growth, such that the number of paid up records in full standing has been flat over the last year. Our analysis reveals occasional daily glitches in the past that affected thousands of records. These appear to be in better control now, but a high lapse rate is the primary challenge to the Global LEI System right now

Although animals do not use language, they are capable of many of the same kinds of cognition as us; much of our experience is at a non-verbal level. Semantics is the bridge between surface forms used in language and what we do and experience. Language understanding depends on world knowledge (i.e. “the pig is in the pen” vs. “the ink is in the pen”) We might not be ready for executives to specify policies themselves, but we can make the process from specification to behavior more automated, linked to precise vocabulary, and more traceable. Advances such as SVBR and an English serialization for ISO Common Logic means that executives and line workers can understand why the system does certain things, or verify that policies and regulations are implemented

Extension methods are the most controversial feature that Microsoft has introduced in C# 3.0. Introduced to support the LINQ query framework, extension methods make it possible to define new methods for existing classes. Although extension methods can greatly simplify code that uses them, many are concerned that they could transform C# into something that programmers find unrecognizable, or that C#’s namespace mechanisms are inadequate for managing large systems that use extension methods. Adoption of the LINQ framework, however, means that extension methods are here to stay, and that .net programmers need to understand how to use them effectively, and, in particular, how extension methods are different from regular methods. This article discusses three ways in which extension methods differ from regular methods: 1. Extension methods can be called on null objects without throwing an exception 2. Extension methods cannot be called inside of a subclass

I got started with relational databases with mysql, so I’m in the habit of making database changes with SQL scripts, rather than using a GUI. Microsoft SQL Server requires that we specify the name of a unique constraint when we want to drop it. If you’re thinking ahead, you can specify a name when you create the constraint; if you don’t, SQL Server will make up an unpredictable name, so you can’t write a simple script to drop the constraint.

I'm an expert on building commerical large scale systems based on Linked Data sources such as Freebase and DBpedia. I'm the creator of :BaseKB, which was the first correct conversion of Freebase to RDF and of Infovore, the open source I do consulting on the following areas: * Data processing with Hadoop and the design and construction of systems using Amazon Web Services * Architecture and construction of systems that consume and produce Linked Data * Construction and evaluation of intelligent systems that make subjective decisions (text search, text classification, machine learning, etc.) I'm not at all interested in doing maintenance work on other people's code, but I am interested in helping you align your process, structure, and tools to speed up your development cycle, improve your products, and prevent developer burnout. I am not free to relocate at this time, but I collaborate all of the time with workers around the world and I can travel to your location, understand your needs and transfer skills to your workforce.

Mat Byrne recently posted source code for a dynamic domain object in PHP which takes advantage of the dynamic nature of PHP. It’s a good example of how programmers can take advantage of the unique characteristics of a programming language. Statically typed languages such as C# and Java have some advantages: they run faster and IDE’s can understand the code enough to save typing (with your fingers), help you refactor your code, and help you fix errors. Although there’s a lot of things I like symfony, it feels like a Java framework that’s invaded the PHP world. Eclipse would help you deal with the endless getters and setters and domain object methods with 40-character names in Java, Eclipse. The limits of polymorphism are a serious weakness of today’s statically typed languages. C# and Java apps that I work with are filled with if-then-else or case ladders when they need to initialize a dynamically chosen instance of one of a set of classes that subclass a particular base class or that implement a particular interface. Sure, you can make a HashMap or Dictionary that’s filled with Factory objects, but any answer for that is cumbersome. I

articles on asynchronous communications with a focus on Javascript. Minimizing Code Paths In Asynchronous Code, a recent post of his, is about a lesson that I learned the hard way with GWT that applies to all RIA systems that use asynchronous calls. His example is the same case I encountered, where a function might return a value from a cache or might query the server to get the value: an obvious way to do this in psuedocode is: function getData(...arguments...,callback) { if (... data in cache...) { callback(...cached data...); } cacheCallback=anonymousFunction(...return value...) { ... store value in cache... callback(...cached data...); } getDataFromServer(...arguments...,cacheCallback) } At first glance this code looks innocuous, but there’s a major difference between what happens in the cached and uncached case. In the cached case, the callback() function gets called before getData() returns — in the uncached case, the opposite happens. What happens in this function has a global impact on the execution of the program, opening up two code paths that complicate concurrency control and introduce bugs that can be frustrating to debug. This function can be made more reliable if it schedules callback() to run after the thread it is running in completes. In Javascript, this can be done with setTimeout(). In Silverlight use System.Windows.Threading.Dispatcher. to schedule the callback

TextWise has recently developed Semantic Gist® to provide intuitive semantic modeling on a large number of samples, particularly vertical text documents that often do not have classification schemes associated with them. These semantic models will automatically adapt to rapidly changing content, ensuring a high level of accuracy over time. Semantic Gist® represents a significant advance in the use of machine learning, image and speech characterization, and neural networks to attack unsupervised semantic modeling. Our patent-pending approach generates a compact representation of any text by using advanced statistical language models to identify the significant features of a document. An auto-encoder neural network encodes the features into a low-dimensionality semantic representation, and then reconstructs an approximation of the original feature vector from the semantic representation. The software highlights keywords that may be underrepresented by the semantic representation and encodes these separately as a complementary feature vector. Finally, the complementary feature vector is combined with the semantic representation to produce a Semantic Gist® that can be easily used for document indexing, matching and other applications.

User management is essential for community and interactive web systems. User management is often an afterthought in a project; although it is critical to the usability (a user that can't register log in can't use the service) and managability of a site, developers often build ad hoc solutions that are unreliable, insecure and hard to use. Tapir User Manager is a user management system that's been used to support large traffic sites. This presentation introduces TUM and explains how it's been used for projects at CUL and elsewhere.

Webinar Recording: https://www.panagenda.com/webinars/why-teams-call-analytics-is-critical-to-your-entire-business Nothing is as frustrating and noticeable as being in an important call and being unable to see or hear the other person. Not surprising then, that issues with Teams calls are among the most common problems users call their helpdesk for. Having in depth insight into everything relevant going on at the user’s device, local network, ISP and Microsoft itself during the call is crucial for good Microsoft Teams Call quality support. To ensure a quick and adequate solution and to ensure your users get the most out of their Microsoft 365. But did you know that ‘bad calls’ are also an excellent indicator of other problems arising? Precisely because it is so noticeable!? Like the canary in the mine, bad calls can be early indicators of problems. Problems that might otherwise not have been noticed for a while but can have a big impact on productivity and satisfaction. Join this session by Christoph Adler to learn how true Microsoft Teams call quality analytics helped other organizations troubleshoot bad calls and identify and fix problems that impacted Teams calls or the use of Microsoft365 in general. See what it can do to keep your users happy and productive! In this session we will cover - Why CQD data alone is not enough to troubleshoot call problems - The importance of attributing call problems to the right call participant - What call quality analytics can do to help you quickly find, fix-, and prevent problems - Why having retrospective detailed insights matters - Real life examples of how others have used Microsoft Teams call quality monitoring to problem shoot problems with their ISP, network, device health and more.

Retrieval augmented generation (RAG) is the most popular style of large language model application to emerge from 2023. The most basic style of RAG works by vectorizing your data and injecting it into a vector database like Milvus for retrieval to augment the text output generated by an LLM. This is just the beginning. One of the ways that we can extend RAG, and extend AI, is through multilingual use cases. Typical RAG is done in English using embedding models that are trained in English. In this talk, we’ll explore how RAG could work in languages other than English. We’ll explore French, Chinese, and Polish.

Dubai, often portrayed as a shimmering oasis in the desert, faces its own set of challenges, including the occasional threat of flooding. Despite its reputation for opulence and modernity, the emirate is not immune to the forces of nature. In recent years, Dubai has experienced sporadic but significant floods, testing the resilience of its infrastructure and communities. Among the critical lifelines in this bustling metropolis is the Dubai International Airport, a bustling hub that connects the city to the world. This article explores the intersection of Dubai flood events and the resilience demonstrated by the Dubai International Airport in the face of such challenges.

Tracing the root cause of a performance issue requires a lot of patience, experience, and focus. It’s so hard that we sometimes attempt to guess by trying out tentative fixes, but that usually results in frustration, messy code, and a considerable waste of time and money. This talk explains how to correctly zoom in on a performance bottleneck using three levels of profiling: distributed tracing, metrics, and method profiling. After we learn to read the JVM profiler output as a flame graph, we explore a series of bottlenecks typical for backend systems, like connection/thread pool starvation, invisible aspects, blocking code, hot CPU methods, lock contention, and Virtual Thread pinning, and we learn to trace them even if they occur in library code you are not familiar with. Attend this talk and prepare for the performance issues that will eventually hit any successful system. About authorWith two decades of experience, Victor is a Java Champion working as a trainer for top companies in Europe. Five thousands developers in 120 companies attended his workshops, so he gets to debate every week the challenges that various projects struggle with.
