This document contains a bracket for a latte art tournament taking place from June 4-6. It lists 16 competitors who will face off in matches over the 3 days. The bracket shows each competitor's name, their seeding in parentheses, and the time of their match. Winners will advance through the bracket culminating in the championship on June 6 at 11:45 a.m.
A discussion on sampling graphs to approximate network classification functionsLARCA UPC
The problem of network classification consists on assigning a finite set of labels to the nodes of the graphs; the underlying assumption is that nodes with the same label tend to be connected via strong paths in the graph. This is similar to the assumptions made by semi-supervised learning algorithms based on graphs, which build an artificial graph from vectorial data. Such semi-supervised algorithms are based on label propagation principles and their accuracy heavily relies on the structure (presence of edges) in the graph.
In this talk I will discuss ideas of how to perform sampling in the network graph, thus sparsifying the structure in order to apply semi-supervised algorithms and compute efficiently the classification function on the network. I will show very preliminary experiments indicating that the sampling technique has an important effect on the final results and discuss open theoretical and practical questions that are to be solved yet.
SKIM at Sawtooth Software Conference 2013: ACBC RevisitedSKIM
At Sawtooth Software's 2013 conference, SKIM conjoint experts, Marco Hoogerbrugge, Jeroen Hardon, and Chris Fotenos presented on Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint.
Choice-Based Conjoint (CBC) is a long known, well-established "conjoint brand". It is widely regarded as the default method for nearly any piece of conjoint research. Not many people, excluding specialist methodologists, are aware that Adaptive Choice-Based Conjoint (ACBC) has been on the market as well for several years, and its predictive validity is much better than CBC when researching complex markets, with many products, in different price tiers. Through our presentation, we helped to confirm this general finding and elaborate on the various options that are available within ACBC.
In order to get useful insights into decision-making, we are pushing the boundaries using mobile technology to perform complex surveys with trade-off and conjoint techniques. It is imperative that this method works just as well on low-end Android devices/phones and 2G networks with limited bandwidth as it works for smart phones and 3/4G networks.
A short presentation for beginners on Introduction of Machine Learning, What it is, how it works, what all are the popular Machine Learning techniques and learning models (supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, reinforcement learning) and how they works with various Industry use-cases and popular examples.
