Call for Presentations

Curry On has two central goals.

  1. Bringing industry and academia together to have an open conversation.
  2. Exploring the intersection of programming or programming languages with emerging challenges in industry, such as security, big data, or machine learning.

Talks can cover topics as varied as an academic idea applied to a surprising problem domain in a real-world system, to something racy like “programming language academia is irrelevant and here’s why”.

We give no firm guidelines on topics (go wild!), however we particularly seek talks that can provoke thought and discussion, or even (more idealistically) can elicit or encourage new ideas or change.

Areas of particular interest to the conference include:

  • distributed systems/big data
  • machine learning
  • security
  • concurrency
  • types
  • functional or logic programming
  • databases
  • compilers and virtual machines
  • PL approaches to front-end development
  • probabilistic programming
  • next generation tooling

Each accepted talk will get a 40 minute talk slot.

There are two different sorts of talk slots. Presenters have a choice between:

  • a standard talk slot, or
  • a chess-timer talk slot.

(There will be a limited number of chess-timer talk slots.)

Chess-Timer Talks

One of Curry On's prime goals is to bring industry and academia together to have an open conversation. But one speaker addressing hundreds of people is hardly a conversation. So, we're changing that.

We also call ourselves "a new and unusual non-profit conference focused on programming languages & emerging challenges in industry."

Chess-timer talks are our unusual solution to making tech conferences a more interactive, more fun, and better place for learning and discussions.

Chess-timer talks primarily seek to get more audience members participating in the presentation. Speakers who choose to give a chess-timer talk are allowed 20 minutes of solo speaking time, and 20 minutes of discussion time. A Curry On representative operates a chess-timer during the presentation, switching between solo + discussion time budgets. When an audience member interrupts the talk to ask a question, for example, we switch the timer to deduct from discussion time. This style of giving talks has been demoed in small (20-30 person) academic workshops to great success. In those workshops, it has incentivized speakers to strategically insert fodder for discussion points into their presentations so as to try and elicit audience members to ask questions.

Speakers with selected talks will have the opportunity to choose whether or not they would like to give a chess-timer talk. Curry On will feature a limited number of chess-timer sessions, meaning that a majority of talks will still be standard conference talks.

  • Call for presentations closes: Wednesday, April 8th, 2015
  • Speakers notified/program announced: Friday, April 17th, 2015

Admission and Travel

  • Speakers will receive free admission to Curry On.

We are striving to provide some form of travel grant to assist with the costs of attending. We’ll post details here once a budget is finalized.

Always Use Words, Not Violence

Children are exposed to violence everyday as they turn on the television, look on the computer, read magazines or stories. They see it in front of them and yet do not always know how to process this. If they also see and feel violence within their own home in how their families deal and react to them, this begins to teach them other things that may not be as healthy (not to say that the former list of items are healthy as most are not).
As parents we make many choices that impact our children. In regards to violence, one of the largest things that we have to decide is whether to spank or not to spank our children. The post today is not going to be a pro and con discussion about spanking, far from it, but this is something that falls into the discussion when talking about violence within the home.
All studies that I have been able to find agree that physical violence with children is detrimental to their development and self-esteem, and leads to teaching children that this type of violence if alright. The challenge is whether you as a parent believe that spanking fits into the category of physical violence.
Outside of this what I have come to find in my research is that there are alternatives to hitting that parents may wish to consider. First and foremost is to use words, and help your children to use their words to express their feelings. In an article that I found in researching this topic they provided a list of eleven alternatives to violence that parents can take which is relevant here, they include:
  • Begin providing guidance and limit setting as early as infancy
  • Keep communicating your words to your baby and young child
  • Show mild disapproval of undesirable behavior
  • Discuss your feelings about what you see
  • Empathize by putting yourself in their shoes
  • Offer alternatives
  • Redirect your child’s attention
  • Be consistent and follow through (do what you say)
  • Offer encouragement when your child follows through
  • Thinking time – have your child sit with you and think about their actions and have him or her decide what they could do differently next time.
  • Offer solutions and ideas with your child – sometimes they don’t know what to do and need your guidance.
There are challenging children out there who do not always seem to respond to these tactics, but most experts state that the most important thing for parents is to be consistent with discipline and not to waiver, especially between parents. Our children must know that their parents will have a solid front when it comes to their actions and that they can expect the same treatment no matter who they are with.
Your children must be respected and loved for the people that they are and must be able to feel that they are safe to make mistakes and are in a safe environment to grow and learn. The perpetuation of violent acts within a home whether between parent and parent or parent to child breaks down a child instead of building up a child.

Some questions you should ask yourself include:

  • How do you react to your child when you are upset?
  • How do you currently disipline your child?
  • How is the way that you are disciplining your child helping them to become a better person?
  • Are there any actions that you are taking that break down your child’s self esteem? If so what are these, and what can you do to build it back up again?
As you begin to answer these questions you may find it necessary to revisit them over time as your answers and definitely the answers about your children will change as you all change and grow.

In researching this topic I came across a few sites that I thought that I would share with all of you:

I am a dad who works in Higher Education Administration by day and by night a dad to two girls (divas). I was born in Michigan and after some moving around the Midwest due to working for several colleges and universities, I am back living and working in Michigan and loving it! I started Dad of Divas as a way to document my experiences as a father as well as talk about important parenting tips that I have run into in my time being a Dad. As most blogs have, my blog has changed some over the last 2.5 years, but I have to say that I am still enjoying what I am doing and sharing with other parents that are out there. You will notice in my posts that I definitely do not have all of the answers (that’s for sure) but I am always willing to try something new to make my job as a parent easier (if that’s possible). I am so pleased to be a part of the group of revolutionary fathers who are, as I, working each day to be better than they already are, and are doing whatever they can to help their children to be the best that they can be!

Dunfermline Athletic

Skerla`s praise for boss Jimmy

Author: Michael Ross Date: Sunday, 12th Jan 2003

Pars star defender Andrius Skerla rates current boss Jimmy Calderwood alongside the likes of some of the worlds best Bobby Robson and Dick Advocaat.

Dunfermline`s Andrius Skerla (left) and Aberdeen`s Derek Young battle it out for the ball.

The Lithuanian defender played under both those Managers in his time with PSV Eindhoven between 1997 and 2000, he has helped the Pars so far to a top six slot and now a top-three slot in the SPL, Skerla rates this as big as his time with PSV.

Andrius Skerla still only 25,mentions this about his time with PSV and Calderwood.......

"Jimmy Calderwood is up there with the best I have worked with. He brings the best out of the players we have got, is always very helpful to me and other and makes the training interesting.

"It was Dick Advocaat who took me from FK Zalgiris Vilnius in Lithuania to PSV and he taught me a lot. Football in Lithuania is poor and a lot different from football in top countries, teams struggle for a ground, there are hardly any fans at games, lucky to get a 3,000 crowd at a big cup final game or league derby. It was hard to adjust too moving from Lithuania, then playing in a full ground in eindhoven was a whole new feeling for me, 20,000 to 30,000 fans was a huge difference for me playing in front of, but Dick was my first manager in Holland and I enjoyed my time working with him.

"But Dick left before the end of season 1997/98 for Rangers, so my next manager at PSV was Bobby Robson. He has been coach at clubs like Barcelona and Benfica and now doing well at Newcastle. He has been manager of England and, apart from being a great coach, is a very good person.

"All of these managers have been special for me and I`ve been fortunate.

Andrius Skerla`s international career continues with the Pars. Here we see him in the starting 11 as a right back in a recent international game.

"I am happy here,the football is good and When the team is playing well it`s a great feeling for me and the other players. It is good for my family also.

"This is the most enjoyable season I`ve had in Scotland and hopefully it will continue. It`s a real experience playing in the Scottish League against all these very good players and teams."

Another Sterling performance from the Lithuanian International defender, keeping Caballero and former wee team striker Nacho Novo at bay for most of the game.

"I have played in the UEFA cup in 1996 with Zalgiris Vilnius against sides like Aberdeen which ended in a 6-4 score line in two legs. Also a team in Ireland called Belfast Crusadors who we beat 4-2 also in two legs,and Hapoel Sheva who we lost 2-1 but still was a great experiance playing in other countries.

"But the champions league sticks out in my mind from PSV Eindhoven from 1998, I played 3 times, twice against Kaiserslautern from Germany which we lost on both 2-1 then 3-1. Then I play against Benfica from Portugal at Phillps Stadium in Eindhoven were we drew 2-2. But I`m hoping I can offer this experiance to Dunfermline if we can get a UEFA cup place. But also players like Stevie Crawford, Scott Wilson, Craig Brewster, who all play at this level before, they can also help the club if we make the position".

Here`s a picture of Skerla with his Lithuanian teammates.

Legislative funding does not match enrollment increases, system hopes for more

The UT regents officially named James Milliken as the next UT System chancellor Monday afternoon. He will start his position on September 17.

Photo Credit: Juan Figueroa | Daily Texan Staff

University funding from the Texas legislature has not kept up with enrollment growth, and the UT System is trying to change that going into the 2019 legislative session.

Chancellor James Milliken spoke at a Legislative Appropriations Request Hearing last week and requested more formula funding, a support mechanism the legislature gives to all Texas academic and
medical institutions.

“Formula funding is our top priority,” Milliken said at the Sept. 24 hearing. “As you know, it has not kept pace with either enrollment growth or inflation in recent years, and we ask that the Legislature consider restoring this critical investment in Texas’s future.”

Formula funding assigns values to courses based on how much money it takes to execute them, said Emily Deardorff, UT System’s assistant vice chancellor for government relations.

“The idea (is) the more hours that a student takes, the more money they generate for the institution to help pay for those educational costs,” Deardorff said.

Courses are divided by academic field and ascribed different weights depending on how much money it typically takes to execute a given course, Deardorff said.

“Different semester credit hours, depending on the type of course, are weighted differently,” Deardorff said. “A lower level liberal arts course doesn’t take as many resources or funding to teach as an upper level science lab course.”

Deardorff said the weight values are calculated by the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB), which calculates the weights and funding rates for all institutions in Texas.

Karen Adler, System director of media relations, said the System submits its funding recommendations to the THECB, which then submits them to the Legislature for consideration.

“Representatives from UT System institutions participate in the Formula Advisory Committee each interim, which submits formula funding recommendations to the Higher Education Coordinating Board for consideration,” Adler said in an email. “The final recommendations approved by the Coordinating Board … are submitted to the Legislature.”

Formula funding was at a high point in the 2010–2011 biennium, but it slowed down after the effects of the 2008 national financial crisis hit, Deardorff said.

“After the financial crisis, and having less money available in the legislation, the rate took a very large cut in the 2012–2013 session,” Deardorff said. “Since then, it hasn’t been able to recover to levels seen previously.”

Meanwhile, enrollment in UT institutions has consistently increased, going from 194,199 in 2007 to 235,780 in 2017, according to UT System data.

“While enrollment has increased generally overall, the rate at which those semester credit hours are funded has declined,” Deardorff said. “So you’re getting less bang for your buck from the legislation per credit hour.”

The lack of funding puts more burden on institutions to make up for funding loss and often results in increased tuition for students, Deardorff said.

“Even though the state doesn’t provide that funding, UT-Austin still needs to provide educational services for students, so it just increases that burden for the institution,” Deardorff said.

While they do not know what the outcome for funding will be, the System is hopeful as the upcoming legislative session approaches, Deardorff said.

“This is a top priority for our chancellor and all of our institutions,” Deardorff said. “We’re hoping for the best.”

Capture Your Grief – Day 15: Community

PAIL Ribbon

Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Ribbon

Like Songbirds

Born of the first mother to ever outlive her child, it wrote itself into our DNA like songbirds. It rang through my insides and buried itself inside my belly the morning my son passed from liquid to air, from inside to outside. Passed down by mothers whose children have died to mothers whose children are dead. I want to kneel in a circle at dusk, in a circle with mothers who have carried life turned lifeless, and with the fathers, the fathers beating the ground or their chests. We crescendo: my child, my child, my child, my child.

Capture Your Grief is an annual, 31-day mindful healing project that consists of photography and reflection. It is for “anyone who is grieving the death of a baby or child at any age or gestation.” Learn how you can participate or provide support at Carly Marie Project Heal.

"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." (Ephesians 4:29)

Versatile Guitars

What is a versatile guitar and why would you want one? My definition of a versatile guitar is one that can play many styles of music. The reason you would want one is to minimize the number of guitars you needed on a gig or vacation or just to own. It seems obvious that the guitars I think are most versatile may be different from your choices. The styles of music you most often play are going to be a big influence. I’ve been thinking about this because as I approach retirement and think about downsizing our home, I worry about how many guitars I’ll be able to keep. Here’s some of my thoughts.

Versatile Electric Guitar

My favorite musical genres are blues and jazz. A versatile electric guitar would be one that can easily play in these genres. It should be noted that you can use just about any guitar in any genre but our expectations and preferences often associate certain sounds with certain music and some guitars make this easier.

If I were to choose one versatile electric guitar I think it would be the Epiphone 335-Pro.

The 335-Pro is inexpensive yet is similar to the Gibson 335 models in size, construction and features. It has a solid block of wood in the center to reduce feedback like a solid body but has hollow wings to give it a hollow-body vibe. The guitar has humbuckers for a classic hum-free rich sound but the pickups include coil spit switches so it can give a sweet chimey clean sound like a single-coil.

Alternatives might be a Stratocaster or Telecaster Thinline with humbuckers. I’ve owned Strats but sold them. They’re great instruments and the 5-way pickup selector allows a variety of tones. They are comfortable to hold. But they don’t really have that hollow-body jazz-box vibe though I’ve seen them used for jazz. The Telecaster Thinlines are semi-hollow like the 335. I haven’t played one but always thought they seemed nice. My brother got one recently.

I currently own an Epiphone Casino (P90 pickups) and an Eastman AR371ce (very much like a ES-175 with humbucking pickup). I don’t know if I could give either of those guitars up. Although a 335-Pro might be a nice addition, I think I would be disappointed with it as a replacement to the Casino and AR371.

Versatile Acoustic Guitar

If I had to start over and choose the one acoustic guitar based on versatility and the styles of music I like I think it would be a Martin 000-28s styled guitar, not necessarily from Martin. There are many independent luthiers and importers who make nice 000 and OM alternatives to Martin over a wide range of prices. For example, Recording King makes the ROS0672 which is a slot head, 12 fret (to the body) 000 styled acoustic guitar with rosewood back and sides, ebony fingerboard and solid Sitka Spruce top.

A nice alternative to the Recording King is the Trinity College TG-202 which is also a 000, 12-fret style guitar which adds a cutaway but had traditional tuning machines instead of a slot head for the tuners. The woods are the same as on the Recording King.

Among the features I like for this style of guitar are a wider nut width at 1 3/4”. The 000/OM sized body is small enough to sound good for fingerstyle playing but big enough to sound good with a pick too. It’s sort of the happy medium between a smaller parlor styled instrument (good for fingerstyle but not so good in an ensemble even if played with a pick) and a dreadnought (great with a pick and in an ensemble but unless you’re lucky, are often muddy sounding alone played with your fingers).
The 12-fret neck join puts the bridge at the traditional sweet spot on the body and also allows/results in a slightly larger body (check the body length of 12-fret vs. 14-fret acoustic guitars – they made the body shorter to accommodate the extra free frets).

All this is what-if speculation if I had to start new. Reality is I own a Martin OM-28 which is wonderful. I might prefer 12-fret model but my guitar sounds great and I don’t plan on giving it up.

Complexity Is Uncomfortable to Any Organisation →

Dave Snowden, writes:

Now complexity is uncomfortable to any organisation (which in fact means more or less all organisations) as it challenges several key assumptions. In particular the assumption that you get set clear objectives for a desired future state, that things that work once will repeat as is, that cases from the past provide recipes for future action and so on. In a complex system we:

1 - start journeys with a general sense of direction but without precise targets.
2 - have to be comfortable with what is inherent and unavoidable uncertainty
3 - need real time feedback, with the flexibility to respond and change quickly
4 - can’t avoid some understanding of theory, which has to act as a enabling constraint on action
5 - are ethically responsible for the unintended consequence of any intervention

Some interesting thoughts from Dave, and a nice reminder of some of the key principles for working in complexity.

Learning Topics in The Daily Kos with the Hierarchical Dirichlet Process

The Hierarchical Dirichlet Process (HDP) is typically used for topic modeling when the number of topics is unknown

Let’s explore the topics of the political blog, The Daily Kos using data from the UCI Machine Learning Repository.

import itertools
import pyLDAvis
import pandas as pd
import re
import simplejson
import seaborn as sns

from microscopes.common.rng import rng
from microscopes.lda.definition import model_definition
from microscopes.lda.model import initialize
from microscopes.lda import model, runner
from random import shuffle
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

%matplotlib inline

First, let’s grab the data from UCI:

!curl http://archive.ics.uci.edu/ml/machine-learning-databases/bag-of-words/docword.kos.txt.gz | gunzip > docword.kos.txt

The format of the docword.os.txt file is 3 header lines, followed by
NNZ triples:
docID wordID count
docID wordID count
docID wordID count
docID wordID count
docID wordID count
docID wordID count
docID wordID count

We’ll process the data into a list of lists of words ready to be fed into our algorithm:

def parse_bag_of_words_file(docword, vocab):
    with open(vocab, "r") as f:
        kos_vocab = [word.strip() for word in f.readlines()]
        id_to_word = {i: word for i, word in enumerate(kos_vocab)}

    with open(docword, "r") as f:
        raw = [map(int, _.strip().split()) for _ in f.readlines()][3:]

    docs = []
    for _, grp in itertools.groupby(raw, lambda x: x[0]):
        doc = []
        for _, word_id, word_cnt in grp:
            doc += word_cnt * [id_to_word[word_id-1]]
    return docs, id_to_word
docs, id_to_word = parse_bag_of_words_file("docword.kos.txt", "vocab.kos.txt")
vocab_size = len(set(word for doc in docs for word in doc))

We must define our model before we intialize it. In this case, we need the number of docs and the number of words.

From there, we can initialize our model and set the hyperparameters

defn = model_definition(len(docs), vocab_size)
prng = rng()
kos_state = initialize(defn, docs, prng,
                        dish_hps={"alpha": 1, "gamma": 1})
r = runner.runner(defn, docs, kos_state)

print "number of docs:", defn.n, "vocabulary size:", defn.v
number of docs: 3430 vocabulary size: 6906

Given the size of the dataset, it’ll take some time to run.

We’ll run our model for 1000 iterations and save our results every 25 iterations.

step_size = 50
steps = 500 / step_size

print "randomly initialized model:", "perplexity:", kos_state.perplexity(), "num topics:", kos_state.ntopics()
for s in range(steps):
    r.run(prng, step_size)
    print "iteration:", (s + 1) * step_size, "perplexity:", kos_state.perplexity(), "num topics:", kos_state.ntopics()
randomly initialized model: perplexity: 6908.4715103 num topics: 9
iteration: 50 perplexity: 1590.22974737 num topics: 12

CPU times: user 47min 46s, sys: 9.39 s, total: 47min 55s
Wall time: 53min 11s

pyLDAvis is a Python implementation of the LDAvis tool created by Carson Sievert.

LDAvis is designed to help users interpret the topics in a topic model that has been fit to a corpus of text data. The package extracts information from a fitted LDA topic model to inform an interactive web-based visualization.
prepared = pyLDAvis.prepare(**kos_state.pyldavis_data())

LDA state objects are fully serializable with Pickle and cPickle.

import cPickle as pickle

with open('kos_state.pkl','wb') as f:
    pickle.dump(kos_state, f)

with open('kos_state.pkl','rb') as f:
    new_state = pickle.load(f)
kos_state.assignments() == new_state.assignments()
kos_state.dish_assignments() == new_state.dish_assignments()
kos_state.table_assignments() == new_state.table_assignments()
kos_state = new_state

We can generate term relevances (as defined by Sievert and Shirley 2014) for each topic.

relevance = new_state.term_relevance_by_topic()

Here are the ten most relevant words for each topic:

for topics in relevance:
    words = [word for word, _ in topics[:10]]
    print ' '.join(words)
dean edwards clark gephardt iowa primary lieberman democratic deans kerry
iraq war iraqi military troops soldiers saddam baghdad forces american
cheney guard bush mccain boat swift john kerry service president
senate race elections seat district republican house money gop carson
court delay marriage law ballot gay amendment rights ethics committee
kerry bush percent voters poll general polling polls results florida
people media party bloggers political time america politics internet message
november account electoral governor sunzoo contact faq password login dkosopedia

williams orleans freeper ditka excerpt picks anxiety edit trade edited
science scientists space environmental cell reagan emissions species cells researchers
zimbabwe blessed kingdom heaven interpretation anchor christ cargo clip owners
smallest demonstration located unusual zahn predebate auxiliary endangered merit googlebomb

We can also predict how the topics with be distributed within an arbitrary document.

Let’s create a document from the 100 most relevant words in the 7th topic.

doc7 = [word for word, _ in relevance[6][:100]]
doc_text = [word for word in doc7]
print ' '.join(doc_text)
local reading party channel radio guys america dnc school ive sense hour movie times conservative ndn tnr talking coverage political heard lot air tom liberal moment discussion youre campaign learn wont bloggers heres traffic thought live speech media network isnt makes means boston weve organizations kind community blogging schaller jul readers convention night love life write news family find left read years real piece guest side event politics internet youll blogs michael long line ads dlc blog audience black stuff flag article country message journalists book blogosphere time tonight put ill email film fun people online matter blades theyre web
predictions = pd.DataFrame()
predictions['From Topic 7'] = pd.Series(kos_state.predict(doc, rng())[0])

The prediction is that this document is mostly generated by topic 7.

Similarly, if we create a document from words from the 1st and 7th topic, our prediction is that the document is generated mostly by those topics.

doc17 = [word for word, _ in relevance[0][:100]] + [word for word, _ in relevance[6][:100]]
predictions['From Topics 1 and 7']= pd.Series(kos_state.predict(doc17, r)[0])
plt.title('Prediced topic distribution')
plt.xticks(pred.index, ['%d' % (d+1) for d in xrange(len(pred.index))])
plt.xlabel('Topic Number')
plt.ylabel('Probability of Each Topic')

Of course, we can also get the topic distribution for each document (commonly called \(\Theta\)).

pd.Series(kos_state.topic_distribution_by_document()[0]).plot(kind='bar').set_title('Topic distribution for first document')
plt.xticks(pred.index, ['%d' % (d+1) for d in xrange(len(pred.index))])
plt.xlabel('Topic Number')
plt.ylabel('Probability of Each Topic')

We can also get the raw word distribution for each topic (commonly called \(\Phi\)). This is related to the word relevance. Here are the most common words in one of the topics.

plt.title('Top 10 Words in Topic 4')

Labour Party: mass redundancies?

Labour’s financial crisis is serious stuff, according to today’s FT:

"It's a pretty drastic situation," said one senior Labour figure. "There are indications that Labour is looking to cut at least 40 per cent of its workforce as part of the restructuring programme and that's a horrible backdrop with which to go into party conference."

In fact, New Labour is reportedly so hard up it cannot afford to finance its next party political broadcast.

I suppose I should dig out that Kinnock quote about the grotesque chaos of a Labour Party – a Labour Party – handing out redundancy notices to its own workers because it has been unable to sell enough honours to wealthy businessmen. But that would cheap. Wouldn’t it?

That is not dead which can eternal lie

Despite good intentions real life stuff is always getting in the way and I keep having to stop working on this project. It's never good to see that the thing you wanted to help out with was from a comment two years ago...where the heck did that time go!!!

Due to renewed interest from the GOG release I'm picking this up again and trying to get all my tools and code uploaded at a minimum. Most of the tools binaries were up already and some of the source. The main omission was the decompiler as it could decompile the majority of code but anywhere that functions were called within if statements, for example, it didn't work.

There is interest in the textures and the possibility of a hires set and though that is a massive undertaking it's something I'd like to see. Looking back my previous tests suggested that it was possible using the tools I've written in that the larger textures would be loaded. However I realise that I didn't really check that they were properly rendered in a higher resolution. Something to check now.

The fixed shaders for the blue light bug is definitely something I want to add in to the patch to help people get those applied and stop having to use the workaround method.

So the plan is upload code, upload decompiler, document how to roundtrip the textures out and back in again, add shader fix to patch. But, and it is a big but, I'm not sure I have time to complete the compiler so it may be down to someone else to do that.

Happy Weekend

We've had a beautiful week of Fall weather -- perfect 68 degree blue sky days, rain and thunderstorm days, and cozy back-and-forth overcast and clear days. And all with these beautiful colorful leaves everywhere too.

Yesterday our power went out a little after 4:00. By 6:00 when it was still out,  I was gathering up flashlights and lanterns. By 7:00, I had borrowed a few head lamps from a friend, and then just a few minutes after we got home - lights!  The kids thought it was great fun to have a dark party evening (it had gotten pretty dim inside even while it was still bright outside), and when the lights came on they were excited all over again.

The kids are out of school today, and it's been a mostly smooth low-key day. We've had a busy few weeks with full afternoons and evenings, so it has felt very nice to have an open-calendar-space kind of a day.

This weekend, we're watching General Conference and going to a few soccer games for the boys. I think it's time to pull up our tomato plants (and the other garden stragglers :) And we'll see what else, but hopefully some lovely outside time.

Keras resources

Keras Official docs

Keras is a Python library for deep learning that runs on TensorFlow, Theano or CNTK.

Keras is the ideal library for rapid experimentation. Currently, the biggest downside to Keras is that it doesn’t support multi-GPU environments for parallel training (see this discussion).

Keras was developed and maintained by François Chollet, a Google engineer using four guiding principles:

  • Modularity: A model can be understood as a sequence or a graph alone. All the concerns of a deep learning model are discrete components that can be combined in arbitrary ways.
  • Minimalism: The library provides just enough to achieve an outcome, no frills and maximizing readability.
  • Extensibility: New components are intentionally easy to add and use within the framework, intended for researchers to trial and explore new ideas.
  • Python: No separate model files with custom file formats. Everything is native Python.

Keras examples  – General & Basics

In this post, you discovered how to create your first neural network model using the powerful Keras Python library for deep learning.

Specifically, you learned the five key steps in using Keras to create a neural network or deep learning model, step-by-step including:

  1. How to load data.
  2. How to define neural network in Keras.
  3. How to compile a Keras model using the efficient numerical backend.
  4. How to train a model on data.
  5. How to evaluate a model on data.

Tips for Hyperparameter Optimization

Below are some handy tips to consider when tuning hyperparameters of your neural network.

  • k-fold Cross Validation. You can see that the results from the examples in this post show some variance. A default cross-validation of 3 was used, but perhaps k=5 or k=10 would be more stable. Carefully choose your cross validation configuration to ensure your results are stable.
  • Review the Whole Grid. Do not just focus on the best result, review the whole grid of results and look for trends to support configuration decisions.
  • Parallelize. Use all your cores if you can, neural networks are slow to train and we often want to try a lot of different parameters. Consider spinning up a lot of AWS instances.
  • Use a Sample of Your Dataset. Because networks are slow to train, try training them on a smaller sample of your training dataset, just to get an idea of general directions of parameters rather than optimal configurations.
  • Start with Coarse Grids. Start with coarse-grained grids and zoom into finer grained grids once you can narrow the scope.
  • Do not Transfer Results. Results are generally problem specific. Try to avoid favorite configurations on each new problem that you see. It is unlikely that optimal results you discover on one problem will transfer to your next project. Instead look for broader trends like number of layers or relationships between parameters.
  • Reproducibility is a Problem. Although we set the seed for the random number generator in NumPy, the results are not 100% reproducible. There is more to reproducibility when grid searching wrapped Keras models than is presented in this post.

Keras examples  – Images

Keras examples – Text mining & NLP

After reading a few papers about NLP, and specifically deep learning applications, the author decided to go ahead and try out a few things on my own. In this post the author will demonstrate a character level models for sentiment classification. The models are built with the author’s favourite framework Keras (with Tensorflow as back-end). In case you haven’t used Keras before I strongly suggest it, it is simple and allows for very fast prototyping (thanks François Chollet. After version 1.0 and the introduction of the new functional API, creating complex models can be as easy as a few lines. I’m hoping to demonstrate some of it’s potential as we go along.

If you want to get familiar with the framework the author would suggest following these links:

 Assume that most people reading this have some basic knowledge about convolution networks, mlps, and rnn/lstm models.

A very popular post from Andrej Karpathy talking about the effectiveness of recurrent nets presents a character level language model built with RNNs, find it here. A simple implementation of this model for Keras, here.

======GPU and distributed (Keras + TensorFlow)

  • Distributed deep learning with Keras and Apache Spark (GitHub repo)

Spark 2.0

If you want to run the examples using Apache Spark 2.0.0 and higher. You will need to remove the line containing sqlContext = SQLContext(sc). We need to do this because in Spark 2.0+, the SQLContext, and Hive context are now merged in the Spark session.

Trump keeps his promise, delivers Jerusalem as Israel's capital

Trump keeps his promise, delivers Jerusalem as Israels capital

It is possibly the clearest statement by a US President, something that no other President would have or would in the future make. Announcing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

One thing is totally clear that many may say that Trump doesn't have the finish of a politician but it possibly because of that he has not made this just an empty poll promise, but a promise that he has delivered.

"The president's decision is an important step toward peace, for there is no peace that doesn't include Jerusalem as the capital of Israel." He stressed there would be no change in the status quo at the holy sites and Israel will ensure "freedom of worship" for all faiths. (

"A way must be found through negotiations to resolve the status of Jerusalem as a future capital of both states." Just hours before Mr. Trump made his announcement, Mr. Tillerson said that peace in The Middle East was still possible. (

"We want an agreement that is a great deal for the Israelis and a great deal for the Palestinians." The U.S. would be the first country to move its embassy to Jerusalem, which is claimed by both Israelis and Palestinians. (

It's something that has to be done." The president cast his decision as a break with decades of failed policy on Jerusalem, which the United States, along with virtually every other nation in the world, has declined to recognise as the capital since Israel's founding in 1948. (

Mr. Trump's pledge was extremely popular with evangelicals and pro-Israel backers, including the casino magnate Sheldon Adelson, who donated $25 million to a political action committee supporting Mr. Trump during the presidential campaign. (

US had made this decision long back

The traditional US position on the city has been that Jerusalem's status must be negotiated between the two sides. In 1995, the US Congress passed an act stating that "Jerusalem should be recognised as the capital of the State of Israel and the United States embassy in Israel should be established in Jerusalem no later than May 31, 1999." But ever since then, implementation has been blocked by successive US presidents.(France 24)

Trump vowed during his election campaign to move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and to recognise the disputed city as Israel's capital. He partially fulfilled that pledge on Wednesday, declaring Jerusalem Israel's capital, but only announcing his intent to move the embassy there, which could take years.(France 24)

Every US president in the last few decades has promised it but never delivered it.

Arab world reacts negatively

In Riyadh, the Saudi Press Agency, using the arabic name for Jerusalem, said King Salman bin Abdul Aziz warned Trump "that such a dangerous step of relocation or recognition of Al-Quds as the capital of Israel would constitute a flagrant provocation of Muslims, all over the world." (

King Abdullah II of Jordan strongly cautioned against the move, "stressing that Jerusalem is the key to achieving peace and stability in the region and the world," according to a statement from the royal palace in Amman. (

Late on Tuesday, Palestinian national and Islamic groups issued a joint statement calling for three days of "popular anger" to protest Mr. Trump's move, beginning on Wednesday throughout the palestinian territories and in demonstrations at United States embassies and consulates around the world. (

The Jordanian monarch warned Trump that "the decision will have serious implications that will undermine efforts to resume the peace process and will provoke Muslims and Christians alike," according to a statement from the Jordanian government. (

The president is still open to the possibility of a two-state solution, and he understands that the final borders of Israel and a future Palestinian state remain subject to negotiations, senior administration officials told reporters Tuesday. (

Although in theory the president could simply switch the sign at the existing U.S. consulate in Jerusalem to say "embassy," the administration says it wants to wait until an appropriate site is selected, proper security is in place and a host of other personnel issues are addressed. (

Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem were spotted burning photographs of Donald Trump and holding signs reading "Move the embassy to your country, not ours," and "Jerusalem, Palestine's heart, is not up to negotiations." The declaration of Jerusalem as Israel's capital carries deep symbolic significance and could have dangerous consequences. (

Separately, the Palestinian delegate to the united kingdom said on Wednesday that President Trump's move to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel signals "a declaration of war" in the region. (

It's Belief

There is belief involved and that is why this is a sensitive issue. The city is revered by three major faiths but mired in political and religious disputes. Israel claims all of Jerusalem as its capital, while the Palestiniansclaim the city's eastern sector, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, as the capital of a future independent state. These rival claims are one of the thorniest issues at the heart of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.(France 24)

The conflict is focused largely on the Old City, home to Jerusalem's most important holy sites, and in particular on a hilltop compound revered by Jews and Muslims. The compound, known to Jews as the Temple Mount, is the spot where the biblical Jewish Temples stood thousands of years ago and is considered the holiest site in Judaism. Today, it is home to the Al Aqsa Mosque, the third-holiest site in Islam, and the iconic gold-topped Dome of the Rock.(France 24)

The city is also home to the holiest sites in Christianity, including the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, built on the site where most Christians believe Jesus was crucified and buried. (France 24)

Peace possible

Whatever may be said the reality is that countries have had a double speak on Israel and Palestine. Trump has shown the courage of taking this peace process forward. Only when Israel and Palestine will have defined boundaries can they both live in peacefully.

Countries will have to stop doing politics around it and let these two countries find their peace.

Trump fires up anti-abortion 'March for Life'

BREAKING President Trump to Address March for Life

Trump administration rescinds Obama guidance on defunding Planned Parenthood

President Donald Trump made an appearance, via video, becoming the first sitting USA president to address the anti-abortion demonstrators.

Monday is the anniversary of the Roe versus Wade Decision that legalized abortion in the United States in 1973. In addition to providing abortions, Planned Parenthood is a major source of routine medical care for women.

Introducing him, Vice President Mike Pence called Trump "the most pro-life president in American history".

The Green Bay event shows 1,500 people on Facebook showed interest in marching.

Trump listed some anti-abortion measures his administration had taken, including an announcement earlier in the day by the US Department of Health and Human Services, reports Reuters.

"Your energy is so infectious", he told the crowd, praising them for being "the vigor and enthusiasm of the pro-life movement".

The White House released a fact sheet on the issue on the same day as the march, arguing Americans support anti-abortion policies. "To me, I have seven, I have three up in heaven", she says.

"We sit at a technological moment where people are seeing what happens inside a mom's tummy as a baby grows and develops".

On June 20 past year, Trump, 71, was sworn in as the 45th President of the US.

I want immigrants to come in from everywhere - Donald Trump
When it came to talk of extending protections for Haitians, Durbin said Trump replied, "We don't need more Haitians"'. Nielsen testified that she didn't remember or didn't hear Trump say the "s****hole countries" comment.

Trump previously supported women's access to abortion, saying in an interview in 1999, when he was still a celebrity real-estate tycoon in New York City, that while he 'hated the concept of abortion, ' he was 'very pro-choice'.

Those who voted against the bill, NRLC president Carol Tobias said, "will need to try to explain why they voted against making it a crime to treat a born-alive human person as medical waste, as a source for organ harvesting, or as a creature who may be subjected to lethal violence with impunity".

The bill augments a 2002 law by providing for criminal consequences for health care providers that fail to care for an infant who is born alive.

For anti-abortion activists like Karen Herzog from San Antonio, Texas, who has been attending the yearly rally since 2008, Mr Trump's words are encouraging.

Bills to make the Hyde Amendment permanent and to ban certain late-term abortions passed in the House but are unlikely to pass the Senate.

"You love your families, you love your neighbours, you love our nation and you love every child - born and unborn - because you believe every life is sacred", Trump said. They'll do what they say, ' " said Kristan Hawkins, president of Students for Life.

And in 2016 he refused to answer a question on the topic from New York Times columnist, Maureen Dowd, who asked when he was a "swinging bachelor in Manhattan, was he ever involved with anyone who had an abortion?". "I just feel that it's a culture of misogyny that results in abortions, and if we respected women more then women wouldn't see abortion as the most viable option".

On the anniversary of Roe and Doe, we remember the millions of children who have been denied their first and most fundamental right, the right to life.

Whither Worishofers?

You guys are cute and all. I just don’t think it’s going to work out.

After a recent shoe debacle that involved a pair of red Timberlands, the soles of my feet, and blisters the size of the drachma before Greece switched to the Euro, I began anew a quest for red sandals.

While on my journey I found myself regularly seeing these cute, well-priced cherry-red sandals by some brand called Worishofer. (When I went to Google them I remembered the brand as “Warshofsky” and found out about David Warshofsky who apparently is a TV actor who gets a lot of work, and also about Keith Warshofsky who is a criminal attorney in Tampa whom I hope I never have to call but you never know.). Then, I started noticing them on feet tooling up and down 7th Avenue in Park Slope the other day. Suddenly, they were everywhere.

Anyway, these sandals looked like the consummate old-lady shoes.  A little pattern cut into the leather. Thick-corked soles. Other styles had laces. They even had a medical-looking “plus” sign branding them as orthopedic shoes. So I just knew they were so grandma-like that I would never, not for one minute, be hip enough to wear them.

So I did a little Googling, and turns out I’m at least two years behind, with a 2010 article—in powerhouse online magazine Slate, no less—chronicling Worishofer’s evolution from bunion-pain easers for the elder set with soles made by a German orthopedist (oy), to a staple of Brooklyn celebrity footwear. (An aside: Bunions aren’t just for old people anymore; some young and otherwise-not-hideous-looking people who happened to draw a crappy gene or two from the foot-gene-pool lottery also have them, ahem). The article  even included a picture of a fellow Brooklynite Maggie Gyllenhaal wearing them. And here I thought I was making some groundbreaking discovery. My only excuse was that I’m more of a bag person than I am a shoe person.

I popped into a shoe store and slipped on a pair, proving my theory that old-lady footwear goes best with vintage dresses, oversized glasses, and other staples of hipness that I just can’t rock. In fact, the Slate article said that “for stylish middle-aged women, the fact that Worishofers are truly old lady shoes is a ‘turn-off.’ Which is to say, a 25-year-old can wear an orthopedic sandal without fearing that she looks like she’s preparing for the nursing home, while the same shoe might cause a 50-year-old some consternation.”

Thus, I reinstate my quest for the perfect red sandal, having learned a little something along the way.
