Live Streaming and Virtual Reality in E-learningShahar Boyayan
This document discusses the use of live streaming and virtual reality in e-learning. It provides background on live streaming and defines virtual reality. It explains that live streaming allows access to experts in real time and interaction between students. Virtual reality provides engaging, experiential learning through simulation. Various industries that can benefit from these technologies are outlined, including healthcare, automotive, education, and tourism. Combining VR with live streaming is presented as a powerful option for training and education.
This document profiles several Mexican women who work with maize cultivation. It describes how many have taken over agricultural duties due to male migration to the United States.

They also describe cultural traditions and offerings related to maize cultivation.
Blogging is Critical For Business Growth | Blog Management ProgramAscend Business Growth
Blogging is critical for business growth by helping companies get discovered through organic search, attracting followers on social media, and converting more leads. The document outlines the benefits of blogging and provides an example of results from implementing a blog program. It discusses what makes a good blog through elements like readability, graphics, calls-to-action, and SEO optimization. Companies are advised to invest 5-10% of total sales in blogging to maintain business and 10-20% to grow business and see a return on investment.
Deja vu Security CEO Adam Cecchetti was invited to present the keynote speech at this year's (sold-out!) Hushcon in Seattle. Rich in humorous anecdotes and practical analysis, Test For Echo explores the relationship between time, ken, and the future of computer security.
A Two Week Snapshot of What’s Trending in the Luxury Watch Industry (30 May – 13 June 2016).
In this series of trend reports we aim to discover which stories, pieces of news and industry developments in the world of haute horology gain the most amount of traction in the digital sphere
About our methodology:
Two key social tools are used to gather the data to analyse the current trends: An in-house database of 2,000+ influencers and online sources specialising in luxury and watches – with the ability to gather insight into 6 months’ worth of conversations - and a social listening tool, allowing to measure and examines all online conversations.

Hyperparameter Optimization - Sven Hafenegersparktc
At the sold-out Spark & Machine Learning Meetup in Brussels on October 27, 2016, Sven Hafeneger of IBM delivered a lightning talk called Hyperparameter Optimization - when scikit-learn meets PySpark.
As Sven explained, Apache Spark™ is not only useful when you have big data problems. If you have a relatively small data set you might still have a big computational problem. One problem is the search for optimal parameters for ML algorithms.
Normally, a data scientist has a laptop with 4 cores (8 threads), that means it will take some time to perform a grid search. However, using Spark opens the possibility that the grid search can be taken out on a cluster with a higher degree of parallelism.

A wearables story mobile dev and test 2016GerieOwen
This document discusses the importance of testing the human experience with wearable technology. It defines wearables and provides examples. A story is told of a woman running a marathon with a wearable watch. The discussion covers creating personas to represent users, developing user value stories to understand how users will get value from wearables, and testing scenarios to evaluate the human interaction. Testing the physical, sensory, contextual and emotional aspects of usage is important as wearables are closely integrated with human activities.
DeepLearning4J and Spark: Successes and Challenges - François Garillotsparktc
At the recent sold-out Spark & Machine Learning Meetup in Brussels, François Garillot of Skymind delivered a lightning talk called DeepLearning4J and Spark: Successes and Challenges.
Specifically, François offered a tour of the DeepLearning4J architecture intermingled with applications. He went over the main blocks of this deep learning solution for the JVM that includes GPU acceleration, a custom n-dimensional array library, a parallelized data-loading swiss army tool, deep learning and reinforcement learning libraries — all with an easy-access interface.
Along the way, he pointed out the strategic points of parallelization of computation across machines and gave insight on where Spark helps — and where it doesn't.

9 17-16 - when recommendation systems go bad - rec sysEvan Estola
When recommendation systems go wrong, they can negatively impact users and propagate biases. It is important for those developing these systems to consider ethics, test for unintended biases, and make their models interpretable. Ensemble and segregated models can help address issues of certain features interacting in unwanted ways. Ongoing monitoring and controlled testing that includes diverse data is also important to prevent recommendation systems from behaving unfairly or discriminating against certain groups.
