This document summarizes several methods for estimating causal effects from observational data:
1. The back-door criterion provides a method for identifying when causal effects are identifiable based on observable variables. It requires adjusting for a set of variables S that block back-door paths between the treatment X and outcome Y.
2. Estimation methods described include calculating average treatment effects, avoiding estimating high-dimensional marginal distributions using sampling, matching on propensity scores, and using instrumental variables.
3. Propensity score matching involves estimating propensity scores via logistic regression and then matching treated and control units based on their propensity to receive treatment.
4. Instrumental variables estimation uses an instrument I that is associated with treatment X
Tweetfix is a visualization platform, developed for the Fix the Fixing european project, where users can explore the results of crowdsourced data analytics from Social Media on well-known Match Fixing cases.
The document discusses experimental causal inference and key concepts in experimental design. It defines causal inference as trying to answer causal questions from data, and experimental causal inference as doing so using experiments rather than observations. The basic ideas of experimental design are outlined as maximizing useful variation, eliminating unhelpful variation, and randomizing what cannot be eliminated. Randomization is described as the key to ensuring treatment groups are statistically equivalent. Some open issues discussed include types of randomization, choice of treatment levels, and other challenges like multiple variables, blocking, and limitations of randomization.
This document discusses metrics for detecting social media fraud. There are several forms of social media fraud, including identity theft, fake product promotions, and generating fake revenue. Detecting fake accounts and fraud groups is important for social media companies and users to prevent financial losses, damage to company image, and identity theft. Fraud metrics can analyze patterns in the social media network graph using social network analysis techniques. Graph metrics like density, centrality, and connected components can help identify potential fraud behaviors and focus investigations on pivotal nodes in the fraud network. Strongly and weakly connected components are useful for identifying other accounts connected to a known fraudulent user.

11.graph cut based local binary patterns for content based image retrievalAlexander Decker
This document presents a new algorithm for content-based image retrieval (CBIR) based on graph cut theory and local binary patterns (LBP). The algorithm extracts nine LBP histograms from each image as features by comparing each pixel in a 3x3 pattern to the other pixels using graph cut theory. Two experiments on texture databases show the proposed Graph Cut Local Binary Patterns (GCLBP) algorithm achieves significantly better retrieval accuracy than LBP and other transform-based methods, as measured by average retrieval precision and rate.
Image retrieval is the major innovations in the development of images. Mining of images is used to mine latest information from
the general collection of images. CBIR is the latest method in which our target images is to be extracted on the basis of specific features of
the specified image. The image can be retrieved in fast if it is clustered in an accurate and structured manner. In this paper, we have the
combined the theories of CBIR and analysis of features of CBIR systems.
Amalgamation of contour, texture, color, edge, and spatial features for effic...eSAT Journals
Abstract From the past few years, Content based image retrieval (CBIR) has been a progressive and curious research area. Image retrieval is a process of extraction of the set of images from the available image database resembling the query image. Many CBIR techniques have been proposed for relevant image recoveries. However most of them are based on a particular feature extraction like texture based recovery, color based retrieval system etc. Here in this paper we put forward a novel technique for image recovery based on the integration of contour, texture, color, edge, and spatial features. Contourlet decomposition is employed for the extraction of contour features such as energy and standard deviation. Directionality and anisotropy are the properties of contourlet transformation that makes it an efficient technique. After feature extraction of query and database images, similarity measurement techniques such as Squared Euclidian and Manhattan distance were used to obtain the top N image matches. The simulation results in Matlab show that the proposed technique offers a better image retrieval. Satisfactory precision-recall rate is also maintained in this method. Keywords: Contourlet Decomposition, Local Binary Pattern, Squared Euclidian Distance, Manhattan Distance
This document summarizes a research paper on using discrete wavelet transform for medical image retrieval.

Scalable face image retrieval using attribute enhanced sparse codewordsSasi Kumar
This document proposes a new approach to content-based face image retrieval using both low-level features and high-level human attributes. It introduces two main modules: 1) Attribute-enhanced sparse coding which uses attributes to construct semantic codewords in the offline stage. 2) Attribute-embedded inverted indexing which embeds attribute information into the index structure and allows efficient retrieval online by considering the query image's local attributes. The proposed approach combines these two orthogonal methods to significantly improve face image retrieval by incorporating human attributes into the image representation and indexing.
The document discusses content-based image retrieval (CBIR) using different wavelet transforms for texture feature extraction and similarity measurement. It compares the performance of M-band wavelet transform, cosine-modulated wavelet transform, and Gabor wavelet transform in terms of retrieval accuracy and computational complexity. The M-band wavelet transform and cosine-modulated wavelet transform provide better retrieval accuracy than standard wavelet transform with much reduced computational complexity compared to Gabor wavelet transform.
This document summarizes a seminar presentation on Content Based Image Retrieval (CBIR). CBIR allows users to search for digital images in large databases based on the images' visual contents like color, shape, and texture, rather than keywords. The seminar covers the inspiration for CBIR, different types of image retrieval, how CBIR works by extracting features from images, applications like crime prevention and biomedicine, advantages like efficient searching, and limitations like accuracy issues. The goal of CBIR research is to develop algorithms that can characterize and understand images like human vision.
1. The document discusses different techniques for region of interest (ROI) extraction from images, including saliency maps, visual attention maps, the Itti-Koch model, and the Stentiford model.
2. It provides examples of the output from these techniques, such as highlighting the most salient points or areas of an image.
3. While the models may identify different ROIs, combining their common ROIs can provide a better output for applications like thumbnail cropping or image indexing.
Divide the examined window into cells (e.g. 16x16 pixels for each cell).
2- For each pixel in a cell, compare the pixel to each of its 8 neighbors (on its left-top, leftmiddle,
left-bottom, right-top, etc.). Follow the pixels along a circle, i.e. clockwise or counterclockwise.
3- Where the center pixel's value is greater than the neighbor's value, write "1". Otherwise,
write "0". This gives an 8-digit binary number (which is usually converted to decimal for
convenience).
4- Compute the histogram, over the cell, of the frequency of each "number" occurring (i.e.,
each combination of which pixels are smaller and which are greater than the center).
Content-based image retrieval (CBIR) uses visual image content to search large image databases according to user needs. CBIR systems represent images by extracting features related to color, shape, texture, and spatial layout. Features are extracted from regions of the image and compared to features of images in the database to find the most similar matches. CBIR has applications in medical imaging, fingerprints, photo collections, and more. Techniques include representing images with histograms of color and texture features extracted through transforms.

Build, Scale, and Deploy Deep Learning Pipelines with Ease Using Apache SparkDatabricks
Deep Learning has shown a tremendous success, yet it often requires a lot of effort to leverage its power. Existing Deep Learning frameworks require writing a lot of code to work with a model, let alone in a distributed manner.
In this talk, we’ll survey the state of Deep Learning at scale, and where we introduce the Deep Learning Pipelines, a new open-source package for Apache Spark. This package simplifies Deep Learning in three major ways:
• It has a simple API that integrates well with enterprise Machine Learning pipelines.
• It automatically scales out common Deep Learning patterns, thanks to Spark.
• It enables exposing Deep Learning models through the familiar Spark APIs, such as MLlib and Spark SQL.
In this talk, we will look at a complex problem of image classification, using Deep Learning and Spark. Using Deep Learning Pipelines, we will show:
• how to build deep learning models in a few lines of code;
• how to scale common tasks like transfer learning and prediction; and
• how to publish models in Spark SQL.

This document proposes a redesign of the Cubes analytical workspace to make it more pluggable and flexible. Key points of the redesign include:
1. Splitting backends into separate objects for browsers, stores, and model providers for more modular composition.
2. Allowing browsers and stores to work with different data sources and schemas within a single workspace.
3. Using an external workspace object to provide the appropriate browser and manage configuration, replacing the previous single backend concept.
This document discusses unsupervised and supervised approaches to object retrieval.
It begins by covering unsupervised approaches, describing common local and global features used for object retrieval like SIFT, HOG, and deep features. It also discusses feature aggregation methods like bag-of-features and Fisher vectors.
The document then reviews state-of-the-art results, noting methods that achieved mean average precision scores over 0.8 on standard datasets using techniques like selective match kernels and sum-pooled convolutional features.
It concludes by proposing future attempts could explore improving features, distance metrics, and incorporating supervision, suggesting object retrieval may benefit from a dual supervised/unsupervised learning approach.

Kubeflow and Beyond: Automation of Model Training, Deployment, Testing, Monitoring, and Retraining
Speakers:
Stepan Pushkarev, CTO, Hydrosphere.io and Ilnur Garifullin is an ML Engineer, Hydrosphere.io
Abstract: Very often a workflow of training models and delivering them to the production environment contains loads of manual work. Those could be either building a Docker image and deploying it to the Kubernetes cluster or packing the model to the Python package and installing it to your Python application. Or even changing your Java classes with the defined weights and re-compiling the whole project. Not to mention that all of this should be followed by testing your model's performance. It hardly could be named "continuous delivery" if you do it all manually. Imagine you could run the whole process of assembling/training/deploying/testing/running model via a single command in your terminal. In this webinar, we will present a way to build the whole workflow of data gathering/model training/model deployment/model testing into a single flow and run it with a single command.
This document outlines an image classification workflow and application. It describes an architecture with three main components: 1) A Python image classification library for feature extraction, classifier creation and database storage, 2) A Flask server exposing an API for the library, and 3) An AngularJS web app as the user interface. It also details a case study on traffic sign classification using this system, achieving around 70% accuracy on 6 sign types with a SVM classifier and bag-of-features model. The conclusion discusses potential improvements like leveraging position/color and using cluster computing.

End-to-end pipeline agility - Berlin Buzzwords 2024Lars Albertsson
We describe how we achieve high change agility in data engineering by eliminating the fear of breaking downstream data pipelines through end-to-end pipeline testing, and by using schema metaprogramming to safely eliminate boilerplate involved in changes that affect whole pipelines.
A quick poll on agility in changing pipelines from end to end indicated a huge span in capabilities. For the question "How long time does it take for all downstream pipelines to be adapted to an upstream change," the median response was 6 months, but some respondents could do it in less than a day. When quantitative data engineering differences between the best and worst are measured, the span is often 100x-1000x, sometimes even more.
A long time ago, we suffered at Spotify from fear of changing pipelines due to not knowing what the impact might be downstream. We made plans for a technical solution to test pipelines end-to-end to mitigate that fear, but the effort failed for cultural reasons. We eventually solved this challenge, but in a different context. In this presentation we will describe how we test full pipelines effectively by manipulating workflow orchestration, which enables us to make changes in pipelines without fear of breaking downstream.
Making schema changes that affect many jobs also involves a lot of toil and boilerplate. Using schema-on-read mitigates some of it, but has drawbacks since it makes it more difficult to detect errors early. We will describe how we have rejected this tradeoff by applying schema metaprogramming, eliminating boilerplate but keeping the protection of static typing, thereby further improving agility to quickly modify data pipelines without fear.

Open Source Contributions to Postgres: The Basics POSETTE 2024ElizabethGarrettChri
Postgres is the most advanced open-source database in the world and it's supported by a community, not a single company. So how does this work? How does code actually get into Postgres? I recently had a patch submitted and committed and I want to share what I learned in that process. I’ll give you an overview of Postgres versions and how the underlying project codebase functions. I’ll also show you the process for submitting a patch and getting that tested and committed.
The Building Blocks of QuestDB, a Time Series Databasejavier ramirez
Talk Delivered at Valencia Codes Meetup 2024-06.
Traditionally, databases have treated timestamps just as another data type. However, when performing real-time analytics, timestamps should be first class citizens and we need rich time semantics to get the most out of our data. We also need to deal with ever growing datasets while keeping performant, which is as fun as it sounds.
It is no wonder time-series databases are now more popular than ever before. Join me in this session to learn about the internal architecture and building blocks of QuestDB, an open source time-series database designed for speed. We will also review a history of some of the changes we have gone over the past two years to deal with late and unordered data, non-blocking writes, read-replicas, or faster batch ingestion.
