NYAI - Scaling Machine Learning Applications by Braxton McKeeRizwan Habib
Scaling Machine Learning Systems - (Braxton McKee, CEO & Founder, Ufora)
Braxton is the technical lead and founder of Ufora, a software company that develops Pyfora, an automatically parallel implementation of the Python programming language that enables data science and machine-learning at scale. Before founding Ufora with backing from Two Sigma Ventures and others, Braxton led the ten-person MBS/ABS Credit Modeling team at Ellington Management Group, a multi-billion dollar mortgage hedge fund. He holds a BS (Mathematics), MS (Mathematics), and M.B.A. from Yale University.
Braxton will discuss scaling machine learning applications using the open-source platform Pyfora. He will describe both the general approach and also some specific engineering techniques employed in the implementation of Pyfora that make it possible to produce large-scale machine learning and data science programs directly from single-threaded Python code.
NYAI #9: Concepts and Questions As Programs by Brenden LakeRizwan Habib
Brenden studies computational problems that are easier for people than they are for machines. He received his Ph.D. in Cognitive Science from MIT in 2014, and his M.S. and B.S. in Symbolic Systems from Stanford University in 2009. He is a recipient of the Robert J. Glushko Prize for Outstanding Doctoral Dissertation in Cognitive Science. His recent research on Bayesian Program Learning has been covered by many media outlets (New York Times, Washington Post, etc.) and was selected by Scientific American as one of the most important advances of 2016.
Both cognitive science and AI can gain by studying the human solutions to difficult computational problems. Brenden's talk will focus concept learning and question asking, two problems that people solve far better than machines. People can learn a new concept from fewer examples, and then use their concepts in richer ways -- for imagination, extrapolation, and explanation, not just classification. Moreover, learning is often an active process; people can ask rich and probing questions in order to reduce uncertainty, while algorithms for active learning ask simple and stereotyped queries. He will also discuss work on program induction as a cognitive model and potential solution for extracting richer concepts from less data, with applications to learning handwritten characters and learning recursive visual concepts from examples. Brenden will end with program synthesis as a model of question asking in simple games.
NYAI - A Path To Unsupervised Learning Through Adversarial Networks by Soumit...Rizwan Habib
A Path To Unsupervised Learning Through Adversarial Networks - (Soumith Chintala, Researcher at Facebook AI Research)
Soumith Chintala is a Researcher at Facebook AI Research, where he works on deep learning, reinforcement learning, generative image models, agents for video games and large-scale high-performance deep learning. He holds a Masters in CS from NYU, and spent time in Yann LeCun's NYU lab building deep learning models for pedestrian detection, natural image OCR, depth-images among others.
Soumith will go over generative adversarial networks, a particular way of training neural networks to build high quality generative models. The talk will take you through an easy to follow timeline of the research and improvements in adversarial networks, followed by some future directions, as well as applications.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

Up the Ratios Bylaws - a Comprehensive Process of Our Organizationuptheratios
Up the Ratios is a non-profit organization dedicated to bridging the gap in STEM education for underprivileged students by providing free, high-quality learning opportunities in robotics and other STEM fields. Our mission is to empower the next generation of innovators, thinkers, and problem-solvers by offering a range of educational programs that foster curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
At Up the Ratios, we believe that every student, regardless of their socio-economic background, should have access to the tools and knowledge needed to succeed in today's technology-driven world. To achieve this, we host a variety of free classes, workshops, summer camps, and live lectures tailored to students from underserved communities. Our programs are designed to be engaging and hands-on, allowing students to explore the exciting world of robotics and STEM through practical, real-world applications.
Our free classes cover fundamental concepts in robotics, coding, and engineering, providing students with a strong foundation in these critical areas. Through our interactive workshops, students can dive deeper into specific topics, working on projects that challenge them to apply what they've learned and think creatively. Our summer camps offer an immersive experience where students can collaborate on larger projects, develop their teamwork skills, and gain confidence in their abilities.
In addition to our local programs, Up the Ratios is committed to making a global impact. We take donations of new and gently used robotics parts, which we then distribute to students and educational institutions in other countries. These donations help ensure that young learners worldwide have the resources they need to explore and excel in STEM fields. By supporting education in this way, we aim to nurture a global community of future leaders and innovators.
Our live lectures feature guest speakers from various STEM disciplines, including engineers, scientists, and industry professionals who share their knowledge and experiences with our students. These lectures provide valuable insights into potential career paths and inspire students to pursue their passions in STEM.
Up the Ratios relies on the generosity of donors and volunteers to continue our work. Contributions of time, expertise, and financial support are crucial to sustaining our programs and expanding our reach. Whether you're an individual passionate about education, a professional in the STEM field, or a company looking to give back to the community, there are many ways to get involved and make a difference.
We are proud of the positive impact we've had on the lives of countless students, many of whom have gone on to pursue higher education and careers in STEM. By providing these young minds with the tools and opportunities they need to succeed, we are not only changing their futures but also contributing to the advancement of technology and innovation on a broader scale.
