Innovations in Publishing
Innovations in Publishing Initiatives from Elsevier
The document discusses the history of publishing from the printing press to modern electronic submission systems. It then summarizes new developments in publishing at Elsevier, including interactive content like audio slides and phylogenetic trees on their website. Finally, it introduces some new types of journals Elsevier has launched, such as micro-article journals, methods journals, data journals, software journals, and a journal for publishing negative results in plant science.
Building a Beer Recommender with Yhat (PAPIs.io - November 2014)
Building the predictive aspect of applications is the fun, sexy part. New tools like scikit-learn, pandas, and R have made building models less painful, but deploying/embedding models into production applications is challenging. We'll show how Yhat makes deploying predictive models written in Python or R fast and easy by building a beer recommendation system and an accompanying webapp.
Data Science outside the box: Developing a generic scoring algorithm for cust...
One major task in virtually every predictive modelling project is to find the method best suited for the problem on hand. Luckily, most of the time data scientists can rely on one of the many already existing and well established methods such as Random Forests, Gradient Boosting Machines, Neural Networks or Support Vector Machines to solve a variety of regression and classification problems. However, in some cases these standard approaches are not directly applicable to the problem on hand and data scientists need to become creative.
In this talk, we will present a case study about a project we recently conducted for the databyte GmbH in Germany. As one of the leading business information providers, databyte maintains a vast database of several million companies, containing information such as revenue, size and many other properties. The aim of the project was to develop an application which, after provided with the customer base of a databyte client, would be able to score companies in the databyte database in order to identify the most promising contacts for direct marketing campaigns. While developing this application, we were facing two major requirements: first of all, each client has its own customer base, hence we could not just train one model; in fact, the algorithm must be able to “train itself” in every run. Secondly, the customer base only contains “positive data”, that means we are dealing with a so-called positive-unlabelled-problem.
The Economics of Investigative Journalism: What Price is Right?
Advertising has always subsidized the cost of investigative journalism -- also called accountability journalism -- so the price that people would be willing to pay for this costly and valuable service has never been established in the marketplace. Now that price is being negotiated by all the players in the digital world -- the publishers, the public, and government policy makers.
Integral Ad Science’s Q1 2016 Media Quality Report
Integral Ad Science’s Q1 2016 Media Quality Report highlights the state of media quality in global online advertising across display and video inventory. Integral processes hundreds of billions of impressions quarterly and is thus able to analyse the industry on a broad and representative level, across multiple media quality metrics: TRAQ (TRue Advertising Quality), Brand Risk, Viewability, and Ad Fraud.
Micropayments at the Tipping Point?
Micropayments have been discussed as an alternative to advertising online since the late 1990s but faced challenges with transaction costs and mental transaction costs for users. New technologies like Bitcoin payment channels could help overcome these challenges by enabling micropayments of even single satoshis with very low fees and instant confirmation through off-chain adjustment of transactions. Payment channel projects are working on this and 2015 may be the year that micropayments become viable through solutions that automate processes to reduce mental transaction costs for users and cut fees through off-chain adjustment of transactions.
Integral Ad Science Viewability Presentation
The document discusses the evolution of viewability metrics for digital advertising. In the past, impressions were counted simply by being served, regardless of whether ads were actually viewable to users. Now, the industry is shifting to define a "viewable impression" as one that is at least 50% visible on screen for one second. Currently many ads are served but not viewable, with estimates that only around 36% of all digital ads are actually viewable. There are challenges in accurately measuring viewability across different channels and environments. Viewability is becoming an important metric for advertisers, publishers and the industry as a whole to better align ads with human viewers and driving engagement.
churn prediction in telecom
The document discusses machine learning algorithms for predicting customer churn in a prepaid mobile network. It presents an overview of supervised and unsupervised learning techniques including support vector machines, k-nearest neighbors, neural networks, decision trees and naive Bayes. The document outlines features for a churn prediction model, describes a demo of the model using different algorithms, and evaluates the classification accuracy and churn rates.

Tackle Ad Viewability in 2016
It’s no longer enough to show advertisers impressions and clicks; what percentage of your ads were actually viewable? According to Google, about half of ads served aren’t viewable by website visitors.
Ad viewability is the newest success metric for publishers to improve in order to grow their businesses. Making this transition is essential, but daunting. Fortunately, A/B testing and optimization can drive quantifiable improvements to ad viewability, leading to increased revenue and delighted advertisers.
Integral Ad Science Digital Ad Fraud Presentation
This document discusses digital advertising fraud, including the types of fraud, who participates in it, how it works, and how it can be detected and prevented. Some key points:
- Fraud costs the digital advertising industry billions annually through fraudulent impressions and clicks. Various types of fraud include bot traffic, pixel stuffing, and ad stacking.
- Participants include hackers who create botnets, botnet operators based in Eastern Europe, and infected computer owners who are compromised without their knowledge.
- Fraud works by infecting computers with malware that creates bots controlled by botnets. The bots are instructed to generate fraudulent traffic and clicks.
- Detection examines behavioral patterns and signals at the impression level to identify

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

Targeting Hsp90 and its pathogen Orthologs with Tethered Inhibitors as a Diagnostic and Therapeutic Strategy for cancer and infectious diseases with Dr. Timothy Haystead.The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically young
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defects
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
Micronuclei test.M.sc.zoology.fisheries.
Current Ms word generated power point presentation covers major details about the micronuclei test. It's significance and assays to conduct it. It is used to detect the micronuclei formation inside the cells of nearly every multicellular organism. It's formation takes place during chromosomal sepration at metaphase.
Equivariant neural networks and representation theory
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.
