A practical Introduction to Machine(s) LearningBruno Gonçalves
The data deluge we currently witnessing presents both opportunities and challenges. Never before have so many aspects of our world been so thoroughly quantified as now and never before has data been so plentiful. On the other hand, the complexity of the analyses required to extract useful information from these piles of data is also rapidly increasing rendering more traditional and simpler approaches simply unfeasible or unable to provide new insights.
In this tutorial we provide a practical introduction to some of the most important algorithms of machine learning that are relevant to the field of Complex Networks in general, with a particular emphasis on the analysis and modeling of empirical data. The goal is to provide the fundamental concepts necessary to make sense of the more sophisticated data analysis approaches that are currently appearing in the literature and to provide a field guide to the advantages an disadvantages of each algorithm.
In particular, we will cover unsupervised learning algorithms such as K-means, Expectation-Maximization, and supervised ones like Support Vector Machines, Neural Networks and Deep Learning. Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of calculus and linear algebra as well as working proficiency with the Python programming language.

Love it or hate it (and a lot of people seem to hate it), Maven is a widely used tool. We can consider that Maven has been the de-facto standard build tool for Java over the last 10 years. Most experienced developers already got their share of Maven headaches. Unfortunately, new developers are going through the same hard learning process, because they don't know how to deal with Maven particularities. "Why is this jar in my build?", "I can’t see my changes!", "The jar is not included in the distribution!", "The artifact was not found!" are common problems. Learn to tame the Maven Beast and be in complete control of your build to save you countless hours of pain and frustration.

The Biodiversity Information Standards (TDWG), also known as the Taxonomic Databases Working Group, is a non-profit scientific and educational association that is affiliated with the International Union of Biological Sciences. TDWG was formed to establish international collaboration among biological database projects and related services. Promoting the wider and more effective dissemination of information about the World's heritage of biological organisms for the benefit of the world at large, TDWG focuses on the development of standards for the exchange of biological/biodiversity data. TDWG promotes the use of standards through the most appropriate and effective means and acts as a forum for discussion through holding meetings and through publications, especially the recently launched open access journal, Biodiversity Information Standards and Science. This presentation will focus on areas of possible collaboration by the larger networked information community around bioinformatic standards, areas where TDWG collaborates with other biodiversity organizations such as the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL), the Encyclopedia of Life (EOL), and the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF).

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

asked because there is nowhere in my country of residence

expensive research trips to London or Cambridge in the UK should I
wish to examine the periodical. I was amazed and delighted that

It also provides full transcriptions of

the development of Darwin’s ideas
on evolution and natural selection.
"If this were true, adios theory"
Charles Darwin wrote these words in
response to reading Principles of
Geology, v. 2 (1837) by Charles
Lyell, who was arguing that changes
in species have limitations. Darwin,
on the other hand, argued that
changes in species are infinite and
continuous, an integral concept
crucial to his theory of evolution.

29. Engagement
BHL is used in exhibitions in our
partner institutions, such as “Once
There Were Billions” at the National
Museum of Natural History.
30. “Congratulations on a superior on-line library service that is of
great help to anybody that has no direct access to old literature
(like many scientists in developing countries). I used to be
located in the Natural History Museum in Leiden, Netherlands
with an excellent library, but after my retirement I moved to
Brazil and lost direct contact with the Leiden library. In many
cases BHL now provides what I am looking for.”

amazing!’ out loud as soon as I discovered
BHL, and I immediately bookmarked it in my
browser. BHL helps fill this void by providing
such resources freely to the public.”

It’s very helpful to have the BHL when
I’m traveling away from ‘home base.’
No need to carry around a rare 120
year old book if you can just open a
scanned file of it on your computer.”

52. “Such exchange of information shall include
exchange of results of technical, scientific
and socio-economic research, as well as
information on training and surveying
programmes, specialized knowledge,
indigenous and traditional knowledge as
such and in combination with the
technologies referred to in Article 16,
paragraph 1. It shall also, where feasible,
include repatriation of information.”
A Larger Context
Convention on Biodiversity (CBD Article 17, 1992)

accessing and utilising this global
information are: that existing
information held in literature and
by current experts is made
available electronically ”
A Larger Context
Darwin Declaration (1998)
54. “Joining BHL represents a greater opportunity for
CONABIO to provide broader access to Mexico’s
biodiversity knowledge contained within published
literature. We believe that only with a well-informed
society it is possible to develop and strengthen a
culture of appreciation and valuation of Mexico’s
natural capital.”

In Closing …
55. BHL strives to be part of that larger "Biodiversity
Commons" and provide a space for the literature
of biodiversity to be available such that ...
it is a zone of fair use
sustainable use without jeopardizing original
ownership rights
respects organizational/individual "moral
rights" (rights of authors)
protects against unauthorized commercial use
Tom Moritz, "A Vision for the Biodiversity Commons" (2004)
56. By engaging with the larger
biodiversity community and major
stakeholder institutions, BHL is
creating a sustainable
biodiversity commons for the
literature of taxonomy.
57. The Commons succeeds when,
among other elements, there is
"the presence of a
community; small and stable
populations with a thick
social network and social
norms".
BHL has created that community
among our natural history and
botanical libraries
Elinor Ostrom, "Sustainable development and the
tragedy of commons" (2009)
