Introduction to Blockchain
This document provides an introduction to blockchain technology. It defines key blockchain concepts like blocks, blockchains, consensus algorithms, and mining. It explains how blockchain works through transactions being grouped into blocks and added to the distributed ledger across nodes in the network. Examples of real-world blockchain applications are given for voting systems, supply chain management, and healthcare data sharing. Benefits of blockchain include transparency, decentralization, and open source development, while challenges include limited production experience and need for customer education.
O Bitcoin Where Art Thou? An Introduction to Cryptocurrency Analytics
This document discusses cryptocurrency analytics and summarizes a presentation on the topic. It introduces some of the most frequent questions received about cryptocurrency and outlines the goals of developing scalable quantitative methods and tools to better understand cryptocurrency ecosystems through micro-level analysis of individual transactions and macro-level analysis of actors and their relationships. Example analytics methods are described, including blockchain analytics techniques like address clustering and transaction network analysis.
Blockchain seminar
Blockchain technology was first conceptualized in 1991 but did not have a real-world application until Bitcoin was launched in 2009. A blockchain is a distributed ledger of transactions stored in blocks that are linked together via cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data. Nodes on the network run by participants hold copies of the blockchain and work to validate transactions and add them to new blocks through a process called mining. This process secures the network and allows participants to reach a consensus without the need for a centralized authority. Today, blockchain technology has applications across many industries that require trustless transactions.

1) The document discusses the relationship between climate change and human culture and history over long time periods in various regions including China, Europe, and Mesopotamia.
2) Key findings presented include evidence that periods of drought, cold temperatures, and weakened monsoon patterns in northern China correlated with the decline of many Chinese agricultural dynasties.
3) In Europe, periods of cold temperatures and famine were linked to increased epidemics, wars, and socioeconomic crises. The decline of some ancient civilizations such as the Akkadian Empire and Maya were also potentially linked to changes in regional climate patterns.
Parallel convolutional neural network
This document discusses parallelizing convolutional neural networks using OpenMP and MPI. It summarizes:
1) The objective is to parallelize CNNs using multithreaded programming with OpenMP and distributed memory with MPI to speed up training on tasks like handwriting recognition and image segmentation.
2) A CNN architecture called Lenet-5 is described which contains convolutional layers, pooling layers, and fully connected layers to extract features from input images and classify handwritten digits.
3) Convolutional layers are identified as the computational bottleneck, taking over 95% of training time. Methods to parallelize these layers include mapping output pixels to threads, using shared memory, and batch processing images in parallel.
Distributed representation of sentences and documents
This document discusses neural word embeddings and how they represent words as dense vectors in a continuous vector space to capture semantic and syntactic relationships between words. It describes how word embeddings learn regularities through neural network language models like the skip-gram model, with techniques like negative sampling and hierarchical softmax. Word embeddings can also learn phrases and model their compositionality through additive combinations of word vectors.
Tribeflow on bitcoin data
This document summarizes blockchain and bitcoin transaction data and describes the Tribeflow model for analyzing bitcoin transaction network data. The summary is:
The document provides statistics on the bitcoin blockchain size and transaction data, describes methods for analyzing the bitcoin transaction graph and public key graph, and discusses heuristics for clustering bitcoin addresses and users. It then introduces the Tribeflow model for inferring latent environments from user transaction trajectories to perform personalized prediction of future transactions. The model learns the transition probabilities between latent environments from transaction sequence data.
How to Create AltCoin(Alternative Cryptocurrency)?
This document provides instructions for creating an alternative cryptocurrency like Bitcoin. It outlines the necessary planning steps like designing coin parameters, source code configuration changes, and compiling the code. Key steps include cloning an existing altcoin source, modifying parameters like block time and total coin amount, generating a genesis block, and connecting multiple computers to mine fresh coins. The document cautions that one should not create an altcoin just for the sake of it, but instead focus on innovation through new hashing algorithms, economic models, or smart contract capabilities.
Applying word vectors sentiment analysis
The document discusses approaches to sentiment analysis on movie reviews including bag-of-words, TF-IDF weighting, word vector averaging, clustering, and incorporating pretrained word vectors and sentiment dictionaries. It finds that combining pretrained vectors with external sentiment knowledge achieved the best accuracy of 0.87. It also proposes a Chrome extension for page analysis and summarization and future work involving RNNs, disambiguation to Wikipedia, and reranking search results.
Masurca genome assembly with super reads
This document discusses the MASURCA genome assembler, which uses a hybrid assembly approach combining advantages of de Bruijn graphs and overlap layout consensus. MASURCA first extends reads into "super reads" by merging overlapping k-mers, then constructs a de Bruijn graph from the super reads for efficiency. It then uses a modified CABOG assembler on only maximal super reads with additional data to produce a draft assembly. Tests on bacterial and mouse genomes showed MASURCA able to produce high-quality assemblies comparable or better than other assemblers as measured by metrics like N50 and NGA50.
Bitcoin Multisig Transaction
This document discusses Bitcoin multisignature (multisig) transactions. It explains that a multisig transaction requires signatures from multiple private keys to spend funds from a multisig address. Two common use cases are a 2-of-2 address, which requires 2 signatures, and a 2-of-3 address involving a buyer, seller, and mediator. Multisig transactions increase security by making funds harder to steal and providing redundancy if a private key is lost. The document provides examples of how multisig addresses could be used for escrow in commercial transactions.
Bitcoin ideas
The document discusses several ideas and proposals related to using Bitcoin for money transfers and other applications:
1) Proposing a system for low-cost international money transfers using Bitcoin by exchanging fiat currencies for Bitcoin in the source country, transferring Bitcoin, and exchanging Bitcoin for the local fiat currency in the target country.
2) Other ideas discussed include building a mobile banking service for developing countries using Bitcoin, providing Bitcoin wallet services for companies that want to accept Bitcoin, and implementing a reward system using Bitcoin for interactive learning applications.
3) Additional concepts mentioned are using Bitcoin for betting, tipping systems, sentiment analysis of Bitcoin discussions, and future applications like e-commerce, payments, accounting, and eliminating
Bitcoin investments
Bitcoin Investments documents several bitcoin companies that have received investments. These include payment processor Bitpay, bitcoin exchange services like Coinbase and BTC Global, wallet providers like BridgeWalker and Hive, and ASIC chip manufacturers like Avalon and Cointerra who have raised funding from investors like Draper Associates and Phoenix Fund. The document also mentions gaming companies exploring bitcoin mining as a way to monetize online games.
Rich gets richer-Bitcoin Network
This document summarizes research on the Bitcoin transaction network from 2010 to 2013. Key findings include:
- The network followed a power law degree distribution, indicating a few hubs transacted with many nodes.
- Wealth concentration, as measured by the Gini coefficient, was initially high but converged over time.
- A small number of "rich nodes" held the majority (93%) of total Bitcoin wealth.
- Centrality measures identified nodes that played an outsized role in transactions and paths between other nodes.
- Future work proposed analyzing transaction dynamics in more detail and using the network structure to predict Bitcoin prices.
Bitcoin tech talk @Purdue Bitcoin Club
This document discusses Bitcoin, a digital currency that uses cryptography and a decentralized network to allow for secure transactions without a central authority. It provides an overview of how Bitcoin works, including how transactions are broadcast across the network and collected into blocks, how miners compete to validate blocks by solving cryptographic puzzles, and how the difficulty of these puzzles is adjusted to control block creation times. Key aspects like the blockchain, block headers, mining hardware, and the increasing network hash rate over time are also summarized.
Bitcoin Network Analysis
This document provides an overview and statistical analysis of the Bitcoin payment network from 2009 to 2014. It summarizes previous research on Bitcoin and describes the collection of over 10GB of Bitcoin transaction data to create a graph database. Statistical analysis was performed including community detection algorithms to estimate user networks from transaction networks, and analysis of the degree distributions and preferential attachment of nodes. Key findings include the identification of power law distributions and evidence that wealthy nodes tend to receive more Bitcoins over time.
Bitcoin & Bitcoin Mining
This document introduces Bitcoin and Bitcoin mining. It discusses how Bitcoin works as a digital currency using cryptography and a blockchain to record transactions. It then explains the process of Bitcoin mining, where miners use specialized hardware to validate blocks and are rewarded with Bitcoins. It describes two main methods of mining: solo mining, where miners work alone with variable rewards, and pooled mining, where miners join mining pools to get more consistent rewards proportional to their contributed computing power. The document analyzes issues like pool hopping and proposes solutions like pay-per-share pools to provide consistent rewards.
The true measure of success
This document discusses common biases that affect how people define and measure success, including overconfidence, availability bias, and preference for the status quo. It advocates focusing on "persistent statistics" that reliably link actions to outcomes over time, rather than ones subject to luck. The key to success is clearly defining objectives, developing a theory of causes that drive them, and regularly evaluating which statistics best predict achieving the objectives.

A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

Redefining brain tumor segmentation: a cutting-edge convolutional neural netw...
Medical image analysis has witnessed significant advancements with deep learning techniques. In the domain of brain tumor segmentation, the ability to
precisely delineate tumor boundaries from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
scans holds profound implications for diagnosis. This study presents an ensemble convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning, integrating
the state-of-the-art Deeplabv3+ architecture with the ResNet18 backbone. The
model is rigorously trained and evaluated, exhibiting remarkable performance
metrics, including an impressive global accuracy of 99.286%, a high-class accuracy of 82.191%, a mean intersection over union (IoU) of 79.900%, a weighted
IoU of 98.620%, and a Boundary F1 (BF) score of 83.303%. Notably, a detailed comparative analysis with existing methods showcases the superiority of
our proposed model. These findings underscore the model’s competence in precise brain tumor localization, underscoring its potential to revolutionize medical
image analysis and enhance healthcare outcomes. This research paves the way
for future exploration and optimization of advanced CNN models in medical
imaging, emphasizing addressing false positives and resource efficiency.

This document serves as a comprehensive step-by-step guide on how to effectively use PyCharm for remote debugging of the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) on a local Windows machine. It meticulously outlines several critical steps in the process, starting with the crucial task of enabling permissions, followed by the installation and configuration of WSL.
The guide then proceeds to explain how to set up the SSH service within the WSL environment, an integral part of the process. Alongside this, it also provides detailed instructions on how to modify the inbound rules of the Windows firewall to facilitate the process, ensuring that there are no connectivity issues that could potentially hinder the debugging process.
The document further emphasizes on the importance of checking the connection between the Windows and WSL environments, providing instructions on how to ensure that the connection is optimal and ready for remote debugging.
It also offers an in-depth guide on how to configure the WSL interpreter and files within the PyCharm environment. This is essential for ensuring that the debugging process is set up correctly and that the program can be run effectively within the WSL terminal.
Additionally, the document provides guidance on how to set up breakpoints for debugging, a fundamental aspect of the debugging process which allows the developer to stop the execution of their code at certain points and inspect their program at those stages.
Finally, the document concludes by providing a link to a reference blog. This blog offers additional information and guidance on configuring the remote Python interpreter in PyCharm, providing the reader with a well-rounded understanding of the process.
