I did my first steps in deep learning by taking the deep learning course at Udacity.Deep learning is a hot topic. Deep neural networks can classify images, describe scenes, translate text and do so much more. It's great that Google and Udacity offer th...
Steve Simpson (@data_steve) created the googleformr package to enable users to easily send information to a Google Form. It’s a nice way to send and securely store data via R and the price is great…FREE! A Pneumatic Road Tube Allegory…Kinda … Continue reading →
Pour le second devoir du cours ACT6420 (modèles de prévisions), le but est de prévoir des recherches sur Google, via https://www.google.com/trends/. Soit vous avez un mot clé qui vous intéresse, soit vous allez chercher une série extraite dans /ACT6420-TS/. Dans les bases qui ont été mises en ligne, il y a le mot clé gym, par exemple. > report=read.table( + "http://freakonometrics.free.fr/ACT6420-TS/report-GYM.csv", + skip=4,header=TRUE,sep=",",nrows=548) On va nettoyer un peu la base…
![Advances in scalable Bayesian computation [day #3]](http://xianblog.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/dscn2538.jpg?w=450&h=253)
We have now gone over the midpoint of our workshop Advances in Scalable Bayesian Computation with three talks in the morning and an open research or open air afternoon. (Maybe surprisingly I chose to stay indoors and work on a new research topic rather than trying cross-country skiing!) If I must give a theme for […]
@roguelynn tweeted the other day: If attendees of this weekend’s intro to python workshop leave with one thing, it’ll be to Google your error messages first and foremost. I had just talked about the technique in my Tools for Reproducible Research course, and I had a few recent examples. Gtk-WARNING **: cannot open display: I […]
We recently uploaded on http://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/hal-00725090 a revised version of our work, with Ewen Gallic (a.k.a. @3wen) on Visualizing spatial processes using Ripley’s correction: an application to bodily-injury car accident location In this paper, we investigate (and extend) Ripley’s circumference method to correct bias of density estimation of edges (or frontiers) of regions. The idea of the method was theoretical and di#cult to implement. We provide a simple technique – based…
Mash-up Airlines Performance Data with Historical Weather Data to Pinpoint Weather Related DelaysFor this exercise, I combined following four separate blogs that I did on BigData, R and SAP HANA. Historical airlines and weather dat...
Technologies: SAP HANA, R, HTML5, D3, Google Maps, JQuery and JSONFor this fun exercise, I analyzed more than 200 million data points using SAP HANA and R and then brought in the aggregated results in HTML5 using D3, JSON and Google Maps APIs. Th...
Google’s virtual reality glasses - a project of wearable computing which will become reality by the end of the year? NY Times reported. This could throw us fully into the information flow and widen our horizon, especially if linked to the emerging offer of open data sources … i.e.stats…. And it could also lead to a new and strange …Read More
Geocode and reverse geocode your data using, R, JSON and Google Maps' Geocoding APITo geocode and reverse geocode my data, I use Google's Geocoding service which returns the geocoded data in a JSON. I will recommend that you register with Google Maps A...
