So You Think You Can Tweet....in Multiple Languagescenter4edupunx
Global Education Conference Session 2015
The ISTE Games & Simulations Network, ISTE Mobile Learning Network and ISTE Global Collaboration Network are collaborating on a scheduled multilingual tweetchat that anyone can join. Come learn what we learned from putting on a 30 minute synchronous and 24 hour slow tweetchat that went out in 3 languages but grew to 8 languages. We will also discuss the threefold purpose of the #globalgamechat. Its purpose is to 1) have educators sharing information in the language of their choice 2) broaden the discussion of games for change, social action and global understanding 3) give educators and their students an opportunity to participate in a multilingual event.

Deel communicatiebudget FOD Justitie ging naar hotelThierry Debels
Via een parlementaire vraag krijgen we inzicht in de uitgaven voor communicatie van de FOF Justitie .
De meeste facturen slaan uiteraard op drukkerijen.
Maar voor het jaar 2015 valt ook een substantiële betaling aan Hostelaria Unida op. Het gaat om een bedrag van 21.631,25 euro.
Volgens het Staatsblad en juridische databases gaat het om een hotel.
De vraag is dan uiteraard waarom een grote uitgave voor een hotel in het communicatiebudget van de FOD Justitie terechtkomt.
A hitchhiker’s guide to neuroevolution in ErlangThoughtworks
Neuroevolution is subcategory of machine learning that applies evolutionary computation to generate artificial neural networks.
Most neural networks these days are trained using the backpropagation algorithm. Backpropagation isn’t always feasible, especially in scenarios where a training set of sufficient size is not available like artificial life or evolutionary robotics. Backpropagation also puts a lot of constraints on the topology of the network such as the number of hidden layers need to be known in advance, the activation function must be differentiable, the network must be fully connected and recurrent connections are not allowed.
In this talk, Jeroen Soeters takes you on a journey where we first explore the foundation of artificial neural networks and evolutionary computation. In the latter half we then learn how to combine the two and create a general-purpose platform for neural network based systems from cleaning robots to financial oracles.
Soliciting contributions from large crowds has been proven to deliver better results than from experts alone, and has also saved time and money for businesses. Learn why crowdsourcing is so valuable to businesses, the various types of crowdsourcing, who is doing it right and what these businesses have in common. Full webinar at:

- TUPE - does TUPE apply in short term/caretaker arrangements?
- inquests
- new care models update – MCP, PACS and EHCH frameworks and joint commissioning issues.

Mulheres brasileiras em TI: 7 dicas sobre carreira das trincheiras, por Claud...Thoughtworks
Neste bate papo, Claudia Melo apresenta 7 lições aprendidas nos seus 14 anos de carreira como profissional na indústria de software e na área de pesquisa e desenvolvimento. O intuito é que essas lições possam ser um ponto de partida para jovens ingressantes em universidades e no mercado, e também um diálogo com profissionais já em desenvolvimento.
