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.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
