This document discusses linking D3 with Google Maps to allow plotting of data on a map. It explains that Google Maps is highly customizable through style sheets. Linking the two involves drawing D3 elements in a Google Maps overlay, which provides the projection to convert longitude and latitude to x,y coordinates for plotting. The tutorial shows how to initialize a Google map, create an overlay, add D3 SVG elements to the overlay, and use the projection to plot data with standard D3 drawing while leveraging Google Maps panning and zooming.

Given that both Wikipedia and comments sections of most websites are freely open to anyone to edit at any time, how has Wikipedia managed to remain such a useful resource while most comments sections are ridden with vandalism, ads, and other counterproductive user behavior?
We believe the answer is two-fold: 1) Wikipedia has an army of bots that quickly identify and revert vandalism so that the worst edits are usually never seen by people and the site generally maintains itself in a well-kempt state, and 2) Wikipedia has a strong community of administrators and other contributors who routinely clean the site’s flagged contents.
Vandalism is relatively easy to flag, though a few clever edits manage to stay on the site for a long time. What about site content problems that are more subjective, like bias? Wikipedia users do routinely manually flag pages with point-of-view (POV) issues, though with millions of pages and no machine-based approaches, the site can only manage to confidently maintain neutrality on the more well-trafficked pages.
Here we propose a solution to solve some of the more intractable content issues for Wikipedia and other sites using Natural Language Processing (NLP) and machine learning approaches. The sheer quantity of data managed by Wikipedia and similar sites requires distributed computing approaches, so we show here how Apache Spark can upgrade common algorithms to run on massive data sets.

People make decisions on where to eat based on friends’ recommendations. Since they know you, their suggestions matter more than those of strangers.
For the capstone project, we built a hybrid Yelp recommendation system that can provide individualized recommendations based on your friend’s reviews on the social network. We built the machine learning models using Spark, and set up a Flask-Kafka-RDS-Databricks pipeline that allows a continuous stream of user requests.
During the presentation, we will talk about the development framework and technical implementation of the pipeline.

Ranked #15 out of 3,274 teams on Kaggle Team Members - Brandy Freitas, Chase Edge and Grant Webb
Given 4 years of housing price data in a foreign market, predicting the following year’s prices should be pretty straightforward, right? But what if in that last year of data, the country’s stock market, the value of its currency and the price of its number 1 export, all dropped by nearly 50%. And on top of all that, the country was slapped with economic sanctions by the EU and the US. This was Moscow in 2014 and as you can see, it was anything but straightforward.
We were able to overcome these challenges and in the two weeks of working together, were able to achieve a top 1% ranking on Kaggle. Our success is a product of our in depth data cleaning, feature engineering and our approach to modeling. With a focus on interpretability and simplicity, we begin modeling using linear regression and decision trees which gave us a better understanding of the data. We then utilized more complicated models such as random forests and XGBoost which ultimately resulted in our top submission.

Data Science is concerned with the analysis of large amounts of data. When the volume of data is really large, it requires the use of cooperating, distributed machines. The most popular method of doing this is Hadoop, a collection of programs to perform computations on connected machines in a cluster. Hadoop began life as an open-source implementation of MapReduce, an idea first developed and implemented by Google for its own clusters. Though Hadoop's MapReduce is Java-based, and quite complex, this talk focuses on the "streaming" facility, which allows Python programmers to use MapReduce in a clean and simple way. We will present the core ideas of MapReduce and show you how to implement a MapReduce computation using Python streaming. The presentation will also include an overview of the various components of the Hadoop "ecosystem."
NYC Data Science Academy is excited to welcome Sam Kamin who will be presenting an Introduction to Hadoop for Python Programmers a well as a discussion of MapReduce with Streaming Python.
Sam Kamin was a professor in the University of Illinois Computer Science Department. His research was in programming languages, high-performance computing, and educational technology. He taught a wide variety of courses, and served as the Director of Undergraduate Programs. He retired as Emeritus Associate Professor, and worked at Google until taking his current position as VP of Data Engineering in NYC Data Science Academy.

Using Machine Learning to aid Journalism at the New York TimesVivian S. Zhang
This talk was presented to NYC Open Data Meetup Group on Nov 11, 2014.
Speaker:
Daeil Kim is currently a data scientist at the Times and is finishing up his Ph.D at Brown University on work related to developing scalable inference algorithms for Bayesian Nonparametric models. His work at the Times spans a variety of problems related to the company's business interests, audience development, as well as developing tools to aid journalism.
Topic:
This talk will focus mostly on how machine learning can help problems that prop up in journalism. We'll begin first by talking about using popular supervised learning algorithms such as regularized Logistic Regression to help assist a journalist's work in uncovering insights into a story regarding the recall of Takata airbags in cars. Afterwards, we'll think about using topic modeling to deal with large document dumps generated from FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) requests and Refinery, a simple web based tool to ease the implementation of such tasks. Finally, if there is time, we will go over how topic models have been extended to assist in the problem of designing an efficient recommendation engine for text-based content.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
