Wrapper induction is a technique to automatically generate wrappers to extract information from web sources. It involves learning extraction rules from labeled examples to construct a wrapper as a finite state machine or set of delimiters. Two main wrapper induction systems are WIEN, which defines wrapper classes including LR, and STALKER, which uses a more expressive model with extraction rules and landmarks to handle structure hierarchically. Remaining challenges include selecting informative examples, generating label pages automatically, and developing more expressive models.
Caffe (Convolutional Architecture for Fast Feature Embedding) is a deep learning framework made with expression, speed, and modularity in mind. It is developed by the Berkeley Vision and Learning Center (BVLC) and by community contributors.
Caffe’s expressive architecture encourages application and innovation. Models and optimization are defined by configuration without hard-coding. Switch between CPU and GPU by setting a single flag to train on a GPU machine then deploy to commodity clusters or mobile devices.Caffe’s extensible code fosters active development. In Caffe’s first year, it has been forked by over 1,000 developers and had many significant changes contributed back. Thanks to these contributors the framework tracks the state-of-the-art in both code and models.Speed makes Caffe perfect for research experiments and industry deployment. Caffe can processover 60M images per day with a single NVIDIA K40 GPU*. That’s 1 ms/image for inference and 4 ms/image for learning. We believe that Caffe is the fastest convnet implementation available.Caffe already powers academic research projects, startup prototypes, and even large-scale industrial applications in vision, speech, and multimedia. Join our community of brewers on the caffe-users group and Github.
This tutorial is designed to equip researchers and developers with the tools and know-how needed to incorporate deep learning into their work. Both the ideas and implementation of state-of-the-art deep learning models will be presented. While deep learning and deep features have recently achieved strong results in many tasks, a common framework and shared models are needed to advance further research and applications and reduce the barrier to entry. To this end we present the Caffe framework, public reference models, and working examples for deep learning. Join our tour from the 1989 LeNet for digit recognition to today’s top ILSVRC14 vision models. Follow along with do-it-yourself code notebooks. While focusing on vision, general techniques are covered.

Strategies to improve embedded Linux application performance beyond ordinary ...André Oriani
he common recipe for performance improvement is to profile an application, identify the most time-consuming routines, and finally select them for optimization. Sometimes that is not enough. Developers may have to look inside the OS searching for performance improvement opportunities. Or they might need to optimize code inside a third party library they do not have access to. For those cases, other strategies shall be used. This presentation reports the experiences of Motorola's Brazilian developers reducing the startup time of an application on Motorola's MOTOMAGX embedded Linux platform. Most of the optimization was performed in the binary loading stage, prior to the execution of the entry point function. This endeavor required use of Linux ABI and Linux Loader going beyond typical bottleneck searching. The presentation will cover prelink, dynamic library loading, tuning of shared objects, and enhancing user experience. A live demo will show the use of prelink and other tools to improve performance of general Linux platforms when libraries are used.

ADMS'13 High-Performance Holistic XML Twig Filtering Using GPUsty1er
Current state of the art in information dissemination com- prises of publishers broadcasting XML-coded documents, in turn selectively forwarded to interested subscribers. The de- ployment of XML at the heart of this setup greatly increases the expressive power of the profiles listed by subscribers, using the XPath language. On the other hand, with great expressive power comes great performance responsibility: it is becoming harder for the matching infrastructure to keep up with the high volumes of data and users. Traditionally, general purpose computing platforms have generally been favored over customized computational setups, due to the simplified usability and significant reduction of development time. The sequential nature of these general purpose com- puters however limits their performance scalability. In this work, we propose the implementation of the filtering infras- tructure using the massively parallel Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). We consider the holistic (no post-processing) evaluation of thousands of complex twig-style XPath queries in a streaming (single-pass) fashion, resulting in a speedup over CPUs up to 9x in the single-document case and up to 4x for large batches of documents. A thorough set of exper- iments is provided, detailing the varying effects of several factors on the CPU and GPU filtering platforms

Python RESTful webservices with Python: Flask and Django solutionsSolution4Future
Slides contain RESTful solutions based on Python frameworks like Flask and Django. The presentation introduce in REST concept, presents benchmarks and research for best solutions, analyzes performance problems and shows how to simple get better results. Finally presents soruce code in Flask and Django how to make your own RESTful API in 15 minutes.
Securing RESTful APIs using OAuth 2 and OpenID ConnectJonathan LeBlanc
Constructing a successful and simple API is the lifeblood of your developer community, and REST is a simple standard through which this can be accomplished. As we construct our API and need to secure the system to authenticate and track applications making requests, the open standard of OAuth 2 provides us with a secure and open source method of doing just this. In this talk, we will explore REST and OAuth 2 as standards for building out a secure API infrastructure, exploring many of the architectural decisions that PayPal took in choosing variations in the REST standard and specific implementations of OAuth 2.
This slide show is from my presentation on what JSON and REST are. It aims to provide a number of talking points by comparing apples and oranges (JSON vs. XML and REST vs. web services).

Correctness and Performance of Apache Spark SQL with Bogdan Ghit and Nicolas ...Databricks
In this talk, we present a comprehensive framework we developed at Databricks for assessing the correctness, stability, and performance of our Spark SQL engine. Apache Spark is one of the most actively developed open source projects, with more than 1200 contributors from all over the world. At this scale and pace of development, mistakes bound to happen. We will discuss various approaches we take, including random query generation, random data generation, random fault injection, and longevity stress tests. We will demonstrate the effectiveness of the framework by highlighting several correctness issues we have found through random query generation and critical performance regressions we were able to diagnose within hours due to our automated benchmarking tools.
Object detection is a central problem in computer vision and underpins many applications from medical image analysis to autonomous driving. In this talk, we will review the basics of object detection from fundamental concepts to practical techniques. Then, we will dive into cutting-edge methods that use transformers to drastically simplify the object detection pipeline while maintaining predictive performance. Finally, we will show how to train these models at scale using Determined’s integrated deep learning platform and then serve the models using MLflow.
What you will learn:
Basics of object detection including main concepts and techniques
Main ideas from the DETR and Deformable DETR approaches to object detection
Overview of the core capabilities of Determined’s deep learning platform, with a focus on its support for effortless distributed training
How to serve models trained in Determined using MLflow
SPARKNaCl: A verified, fast cryptographic libraryAdaCore
SPARKNaCl https://github.com/rod-chapman/SPARKNaCl is a new, freely-available, verified and fast reference implementation of the NaCl cryptographic API, based on the TweetNaCl distribution. It has a fully automated, complete and sound proof of type-safety and several key correctness properties. In addition, the code is surprisingly fast - out-performing TweetNaCl's C implementation on an Ed25519 Sign operation by a factor of 3 at all optimisation levels on a 32-bit RISC-V bare-metal machine. This talk will concentrate on how "Proof Driven Optimisation" can result in code that is both correct and fast.

Recurrent Neural Networks have shown to be very powerful models as they can propagate context over several time steps. Due to this they can be applied effectively for addressing several problems in Natural Language Processing, such as Language Modelling, Tagging problems, Speech Recognition etc. In this presentation we introduce the basic RNN model and discuss the vanishing gradient problem. We describe LSTM (Long Short Term Memory) and Gated Recurrent Units (GRU). We also discuss Bidirectional RNN with an example. RNN architectures can be considered as deep learning systems where the number of time steps can be considered as the depth of the network. It is also possible to build the RNN with multiple hidden layers, each having recurrent connections from the previous time steps that represent the abstraction both in time and space.

I/O-Efficient Techniques for Computing PagerankYen-Yu Chen
Over the last few years, most major search engines have integrated link-based ranking techniques in order to provide
more accurate search results. One widely known approach is the Pagerank technique, which forms the basis of the Google ranking scheme, and which assigns a global importance measure to each page based on the importance of other pages pointing to it. The main advantage of the Pagerank measure is that it is independent of the query posed by a user; this means that it can be precomputed and then used to optimize the layout of the inverted index structure accordingly. However, computing the Pagerank measure requires implementing an iterative process on a massive graph corresponding to billions of web pages and hyperlinks.
Data-Intensive Computing for Competent Genetic Algorithms: A Pilot Study us...Xavier Llorà
Data-intensive computing has positioned itself as a valuable programming paradigm to efficiently approach problems requiring processing very large volumes of data. This paper presents a pilot study about how to apply the data-intensive computing paradigm to evolutionary computation algorithms. Two representative cases (selectorecombinative genetic algorithms and estimation of distribution algorithms) are presented, analyzed, and discussed. This study shows that equivalent data-intensive computing evolutionary computation algorithms can be easily developed, providing robust and scalable algorithms for the multicore-computing era. Experimental results show how such algorithms scale with the number of available cores without further modification.
