You suggest up/down sampling rare cases. Can you please elaborate on the standard approaches for this kind of problem? For both linear and nonlinear classifiers. Thank you.

"The Next Cryptocurrecy" is correct and is the phrase that tells you everything you need to know. The proponents of Bitcoin try to pass it off as being "As Good as Gold". However, unlike gold, whose supply is limited on Earth, and cannot be

Not so. If it's a 4 digit combination, it's already n!, so 24 combinations, which is enough for a good system to lock up and automatically call the police. If it's more, then it's gonna grow as n!/k!l!m!... where, k, l, m... are the number

Well, viva human brain versions of Monte Carlo Search Tree algorithms. Your game was at least solvable deductively in practice. If you were talking about solving something like the game of Go, i.e. high branching factor and deep tree, then

A lot of these companies, like Beamr, with extraordinarily technological claims tend to be preparations for stock pump and dump schemes. Usually their parent company will eventually be listed on: http://stockpromoters.com/ Tim Sykes talk

Hey, we should be thankful that primes have cardinality aleph_0, so we can have reasonable algos for exhaustive search at all! ;)

I'd say also read "Seeing What's Next", the third book in the disruption series. There he deals with a lot of stuff like structuring your business to take advantage of Asymmetric Motivation and Asymmetric Skills as shield and sword of your

Whenever they tried giving me this test, my score just went off the scale. In the end, they had to assign me a new type: SEXY. ;)

Looks like the techniques of the world of High Frequency Trading are migrating into the wider universe. Except now the customers may benefit if the prices are lowered by someone who wouldn't sell at that price (by, say, showing that the pro

Wow! A HUGE market that escaped everybody’s attention! There are a few comments that come to mind: First, this Modj.io company provides free testing ground for car companies to see if there is really a wide demand for such feedback mechanis

Don't worry about it, man. He can patent it all he wants, but thing is not gonna fly. It's called a "tie-in sale", and the United States Anti-Trust law prohibits it. McDonald's tried this trick a long time ago with their franchise owners in

That's what you think. A good friend of mine is 6'2 and used to be a part time male fitness model. He's a software engineer at a large bank and all the girls hit on him and never believe him when he says he's a software engineer.

PEOPLE!!! Are you hackers or not!?!? Download the Excel spreadsheet and look at the raw numbers. The numbers in columns A,D and E have 2 significant digits after the decimal point, whereas the numbers in columns B,C and F have 13 significan
