Machine Learning
What it is and why it matters
What is machine learning?
Machine learning is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) based on two things: mathematical algorithms and automation. The idea is to automate the building of analytic models that use algorithms to learn from data in an iterative fashion. The "machine" (it's really an algorithm) learns from its mistakes in previous steps to derive the best results without human intervention. These models can then be used to produce reliable, repeatable decisions.
The iterative aspect of machine learning is important because your models aren't going to get any smarter by themselves. They need to learn from previous computations to produce the best results.
It's a science that's not new – but one that's gaining fresh momentum. The highly hyped, self-driving Google car? Essence of machine learning. Online recommendation offers? A machine learning application for everyday life. Fraud detection? One of the more obvious, important uses in our world today.
Why is machine learning important?
For most organizations, the race is on to extract valuable information from growing volumes and varieties of data. Electronic (and other) data is increasing at rates never seen before. Storage options for big data are more affordable than ever – maybe even free! And computational processing power has never been cheaper or more powerful.
That means with the right data, the right technologies and the right analytics, it's possible to quickly and automatically produce models that can analyze bigger, more complex data and deliver faster, more accurate results without human intervention – even on a very large scale. The result? High-value predictions that can guide better decisions and actions in real time.
One key to this is automated model building. Analytics thought leader Thomas H. Davenport wrote in The Wall Street Journal that with rapidly changing, growing volumes of data, "... you need fast-moving modeling streams to keep up." And you can do it with machine learning, he says: "Humans can typically create one or two good models a week; machine learning can create thousands of models a week."
Modern-day applications
Ever wonder how an online retailer provides nearly instantaneous offers for other products that may interest you? Or how lenders can provide near-real-time answers to your loan requests? Many day-to-day activities are powered by machine learning algorithms, including:
- Fraud detection.
- Online recommendations.
- Real-time ads on web pages and mobile devices.
- Text-based sentiment analysis.
- Credit scoring and next-best offers.
- Prediction of equipment failures.
- New pricing models.
- Network intrusion detection.
- Handwriting analyses.
- Email spam filtering.
It's not your daddy's (or granddaddy's) machine learning anymore
Machine learning today is not like machine learning of the past. While many of the mathematical algorithms have been around for a long time, the ability to apply complex mathematical calculations to huge quantities of data – over and over, faster and faster – is a recent development. Cheaper data storage, distributed processing, more powerful computers and the analytical opportunities they provide are all responsible for the resurging interest in these systems.

Machine learning methods explained
Two of the most widely adopted machine learning methods are supervised and unsupervised. Most machine learning – about 70 percent – is supervised learning. Unsupervised learning accounts for 10 to 20 percent.
- Supervised learning algorithms are trained using labeled examples, such as an input where the desired output is known. For example, a piece of equipment could have data points labeled either "F" (failed) or "R" (runs). The learning algorithm receives a set of inputs along with the corresponding correct outputs, and the algorithm learns by comparing its actual output with the correct outputs to find errors. It then modifies the model accordingly. Through methods like classification, regression, prediction and gradient boosting, supervised learning uses patterns to predict the values of the label on additional unlabeled data. Supervised learning is commonly used in applications where historical data predicts likely future events. For example, it can anticipate when credit card transactions are likely to be fraudulent or which insurance customer is likely to file a claim.
- Unsupervised learning is used against data that has no historical labels. The system is not told the "right answer." The algorithm must figure out for itself what's being shown. The goal is to explore the data and find some structure within. Unsupervised learning works well on transactional data. For example, it can identify segments of customers with similar attributes who can then be treated similarly in marketing campaigns. Or it can find the main attributes that separate customer segments from each other. Popular techniques include self-organizing maps, nearest-neighbor mapping, k-means clustering and singular value decomposition. These algorithms are also used to segment text topics, recommend items and identify data outliers.
Semi-supervised learning and reinforcement learning are two other techniques that are sometimes used.
- Semi-supervised learning is used for the same applications as supervised learning. But it uses both labeled and unlabeled data for training – typically a small amount of labeled data with a large amount of unlabeled data (because unlabeled data takes less effort and is less expensive to acquire). This type of learning can be used with methods such as classification, regression and prediction. Semi-supervised learning is useful when the cost associated with labeling is too high to allow for a fully labeled training process. Early examples of this include identifying a person's face on a web cam.
- Reinforcement learning is often used for robotics, gaming and navigation. With reinforcement learning, the algorithm discovers for itself through trial and error which actions yield the greatest rewards. This type of learning has three primary components: the agent (the learner or decision maker), the environment (everything the agent interacts with), and actions (what the agent can do). The objective is for the agent to choose actions that maximize the expected reward over a given amount of time. The agent will reach the goal much faster by following a good policy. So the goal in reinforcement learning is to learn the best policy.
Machine learning vs. other approaches
The difference between machine learning and other statistical and mathematical approaches, like data mining, is another popular topic of discussion. In simple terms, while machine learning uses many of the same algorithms as data mining, the difference lies in what the two disciplines predict. Data mining discovers previously unknown patterns and knowledge. Machine learning is used to reproduce known patterns and knowledge, automatically apply those to other data, and then apply that to decision making.
Did you know?
- In machine learning, a target is called a label.
- In statistics, a target is called a dependent variable.
What do you need to create good machine learning systems?
- Data preparation capabilities.
- Algorithms – basic and advanced.
- Automation and iterative processes.
- Scalability.
- Ensemble modeling.
How SAS can help
SAS graphical user interfaces help you build machine-learning models and implement an iterative machine learning process. You don't have to be an advanced statistician. Our comprehensive selection of machine learning algorithms can help you quickly get value from your big data. They include:
- Neural networks.
- Decision trees.
- Random forests.
- Associations and sequence discovery.
- Gradient boosting and bagging.
- Support vector machines.
- Nearest-neighbor mapping.
- k-means clustering.
- Self-organizing maps.
- Local search optimization techniques (e.g., genetic algorithms.)
- Expectation maximization.
- Multivariate adaptive regression splines.
- Bayesian networks.
- Kernel density estimation.
- Principal components analysis.
- Singular value decomposition.
- Gaussian mixture models.
- Sequential covering rule building.
As we know by now, it's not just the algorithms. Ultimately, the secret to getting the most value from your big data lies in pairing the best algorithms for the task at hand with:
- Comprehensive data quality and management.
- GUIs for building models and process flows.
- Comparisons of different machine learning models to quickly identify the best one.
- Interactive data exploration and visualization of model results.
- Automated ensemble model evaluation to identify the best performers.
- Easy model deployment so you can get repeatable, objective decisions quickly.
- An integrated, end-to-end platform for the automation of the data-to-decision process.

Effect of chronic drug treatment on acute c-Fos response. Western blot analysis was used to measure the acute pseudoephedrine induced c-Fos expression in striatum (n = 4) and nucleus accumbens (n = 3) of rats chronically treated with pseudoephedrine (8 day treatment of pseudoephedrine twice a day with an increasing dose at 25, 30, 35, 40 mg/kg i.p., on day 1, 2, 3 and 4–8 respectively, rats were killed 1.5 h after 40 mg/kg, i.p pseudoephedrine injection on day 9). The data (quantification of bands from western blots) is expressed as percentage of c-Fos value of control animals injected with saline. (A value of 100% indicates no difference from control) Values are mean ± S.E.M. 'a' indicates significantly different from control and chronic; 'b' indicates significantly different from acute with p < 0.05.

Angelina Jolie's slit dress at the Oscars had inspired a Twitter feed with more than 12,000 followers by this afternoon. Matt Brown/©A.M.P.A.S.
2011's Top Twitter Trends Skip Biz, Praise Biebs
There's no doubting Twitter's impact or importance as an emerging business.
The company helped topple autocratic regimes in the Middle East. It's turned millions of users into addicts of 140-character bursts of inspiration. It's even spawned the short-lived television show $#*! My Dad Says. Along the way, Twitter has picked up $1.3 billion in venture funding.
And all of that, except maybe the TV show, is important stuff. But if you ask some of us, the very greatest thing about Twitter is the fake Twitter feed. And thanks to the Oscars, there's a brand-new one looking to, well, get a leg up on the others.
That's right, Angelina Jolie's right leg got its own feed after the actress and activist wore a dress with a thigh-high slit, showing off her slender limb. The feed, natch, is @AngiesRightLeg.
Said leg's Klout score has to be pretty high, too, given that the feed by this afternoon had picked up 13,442 followers with such tweets as: "You have to admit, I'm one hell of a leg."
The instant popularity of Jolie's gam got us to thinking of some of our other favorite fake Twitter feeds. And here, without further ado, are a few of them:
Still, one question burns in the mind, and that is how does Jolie's left leg feel about all the attention her right leg is getting? Thanks to Twitter, we have an answer: "Left leg and I talked—everything's cool. Next Oscars, she gets the slit."

Read Poems by
Belynda Holst
Special friends like you are rare
Just wanted to let you know that I care
You are an amazing person in all that you do
And I'm so lucky to have you
Life can be hard at times it seems
But with love and support from family and friends
We will get there in the end
It's not what we do or who we are
It's a matter of reaching for the stars
We are thrown things in life that we can't always comprehended
But staying positive we will get there in the end
Love and happiness is all around
It's just a matter of keeping our feet firmly on the ground

Hi there (-:
I have been using Carrara and DAZ Studio for several years, but it wasn't until last month when I heard about the growing and improving connectivity between DAZ Studio and iClone/3DXchange. In my opinion a perfect combination: DAZ with its vast and sophisticated art content and iClone with its easy-to-use animation capabilities.
Hence I have started to evaluate the DAZ/iClone pipeline. The first result is a small trailer for a private, non-commercial hobby project. Here's the link to the YouTube clip, featuring both DAZ and iClone parts:
While the art pipeline from DAZ to 3DXchange and iClone generally works well, it has its flaws when it comes to details. E.g. the conversion of Genesis characters with their clothing is a bit buggy when it comes to "floating" clothes like cloaks or long skirts. You can see it in some of the scenes in the clips when the imported DAZ characters are walking.
And the iClone animation also has its issues: So far I have not been able to produce a *believable" turn of a character. The existing capabilities in iClone always include a "walk forward a little bit" sequence, before the character actually turns. And there are still some issues with "MixMoves" (transitions not always properly recognized) and the normal moves ("sliding feet" effect).
However, DAZ Studio and iClone is a powerful and future-oriented alliance which I am absoutely sure will improve even further in the future.
Greetings from Switzerland (-:

Evening Song - Man vs. Nature
Digital Art by martysmax "The power of abstract thinking has led us to treat the natural environment--the web of life--as if it consisted of separate parts, to be exploited by different interest groups. Moreover, we have extended this fragmented view to our human society, dividing it into different nations, races, religious and political groups. The belief that all these fragments--in ourselves, in our environment, and in our society--are really separate has alienated us from nature and from our fellow human beings and thus has diminished us. To regain our full humanity, we have to regain our experience of connectedness with the entire web of life. This reconnecting, religio in Latin, is th… [more]

pathos - a high cold star on a winter's night...
Digital Art by martysmax When it occurs to a man that nature does not regard him as important, and that she feels she would not maim the universe by disposing of him, he at first wishes to throw bricks at the temple, and he hates deeply the fact that there are no bricks and no temples. Any visible expression of nature would surely be pelleted with his jeers. Then, if there be no tangible thing to hoot, he feels, perhaps, the desire to confront a personification and indulge in pleas, bowed to one knee, and with hands supplicant, saying, "Yes, but I love myself." A high cold star on a winter's night is the word he feels that she says to him. Thereafter he knows the pathos of his situation.--St… [more]

Behind The Bars No World
Digital Art by martysmax The Panther His vision, from the constantly passing bars, has grown so weary that it cannot hold anything else. It seems to him there are a thousand bars; and behind the bars, no world. As he paces in cramped circles, over and over, the movement of his powerful soft strides is like a ritual dance around a center in which a mighty will stands paralyzed. Only at times, the curtain of the pupils lifts, quietly--. An image enters in, rushes down through the tensed, arrested muscles, plunges into the heart and is gone.-- Rainer Maria Rilke… [more]

It's no circus for the animals: "Sadie and Elsie were the youngest of the eight, and were very timid. One day, when we had them in the ring barn urging them through one of their tricks, Sadie just could not grasp what we were trying to show her. In frustration she attempted to run of the ring. We brought her back and began to punish her for being so stupid. We stopped suddenly, and looked at each other, unable to speak. We were seeing something I've never experienced before or since. Sadie was crying like a human being. She lay there on her side, the tears streaming down her face and sobs racking her huge body...."

The Best Advice I Ever Got on Marriage
It's all about love!
It's all about love!
by Rob Kerby, Senior Editor
Falling in love is easy, says Jim Daly. Staying in love is the challenge. That's just one of the lessons he learned when compiling The Best Advice I Ever Got on Marriage. It's a collection of insights shared by a number of respected couples. For example, his friend Andy Stanley shared with him, "We focus on the external qualities of love and ignore the internal. We treat love like a noun. It's an experience that happened. A moment. A thing … It's not an event or a one-time thing. It is not a firework feeling or a field of flowers. It's an action."

Originally written on Larry Brown Sports | Last updated 11/5/12
Marcus Vick went off on the Philadelphia Eagles over Twitter while watching "Monday Night Football," demanding that the team should trade his brother, Michael. "Please trade my brother. We requesting out of Philly!!!! Please please please……" he wrote on Twitter during Monday's game between the New Orleans Saints and Eagles before deleting the tweet. That tweet was the first in a series of comments from Marcus criticizing the Eagles. He was particular critical of the team's offensive line for its inability to protect his brother: Michael Vick has gone through a tough year with the Eagles. He had a major turnover problem the first few games and, though he curbed that issue, the team is still struggling. Even when he was moving the offense on Monday, a pass he threw near the end zone was not caught by Brent Celek, and the tipped ball was intercepted by Patrick Robinson and returned for a 99-yard touchdown. That seemed to be a microcosm of the Eagles' problems this season. H/T Black Sports Online

Doom3 Timedemo for older GPUs

Re: Doom3 Timedemo for older GPUs
The post above displays timedemo results at 640x480/low quality.
This was the only setting that would run on all the cards at roughly 10 FPS or higher. I didn't have the patience to run older cards at settings that I knew would generate under 10 FPS. Other Doom3 settings for the same cards are detailed in the spreadsheet.
All testing was using 71.89 drivers; I'm not certain I said that in the spreadsheet. FWIW my NV5 engineering sample (Riva TNT?) was not recognized by 71.89 and therefore was not testable. (So much for the universal driver architecture NVIDIA likes to claim! Did that just disappear without telling us?
All cards except the NV35GL were clocked at the speeds of consumer boards.
- NV30 (FX 5800 Ultra) was 500 GPU/1000 RAMs (500 DDR).
- NV28GL (Quadro 980 XGL or GF4 Ti4600) was 300/600 (300 DDR).
I don't recall the rest off the top of my head.
My 5800U gets around 48.7 FPS on 1024×768 at Medium, so your 5800U is running like mine. 10×7@M is how I play Doom3 when I'm not testing.
Speaking of playing Doom3 with a 5800U. The stock dustbuster fan was too loud to play after the kids went to bed, so I took off the plastic FlowFX from one of my 5800U cards. I replaced the thermal pads with paste, and put a fan on each side: a 80mm LED fan on the GPU copper, and a 60mm CPU fan on the backside copper. The 5800U temperature now stays under 60°C silently, and a soft blue LED glow reminds me when the card goes into 3D modes.
I used to drive a Heisenberg, but whenever I'd glance at the speedometer, I'd get lost.

Question: How Do You Make Crown Of Lamb?
December 30, 2009
Permalink Anonymous
July 5, 2011
July 5, 2011
It is actually easier than you may think to make an elegant looking Crown of Lamb roast. A crown of Lamb roast is made simply by tying two racks of lamb together to create the resemblance of a crown. You can ask the butcher to assemble the crown roast for you. Make sure he removes the skin and chine bones.
You are now ready to roast your Crown of Lamb according to your favorite recipe.
When roasting the lamb, make sure you cover any exposed top bones to prevent burning.

A massive structure appears isolated on a flat empty plane. The sides of the structure appear to have straight edges that run down to a large circular 'dot' formation at its base.
NASA says the straight edges may be the result of fractures, related to fractures or a hill that was lifted up by the faulting and its current shape was the result of the surrounding terrain having been eroded down over billions of years.
Interestingly, despite extensive erosion over the structure, the formation exhibits remarkable symmetry.
Just one of the many weird-looking eroded plateaus on Mars. Like this fella nearby (Google Earth screenshot):

Ted Cruz has been named the victor in the Texas senate race. With only 54% of precincts reporting it is clear that the Republican, Ted Cruz, has won the senate seat in Texas. Currently it stands at 57% of votes to Cruz and only 41% to Sadler.
This was an open seat vacated earlier by Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Sadler was grossly underfunded and performed poorly in the debates. This is a much-needed win for the Republicans to maintain their numbers in the Senate.

Hi...any chance you could make this a bit more NextGen Gallery-aware? Specifically, if I have a single picture included in a post, there's a [singlepic,,,,] tag for NGG that shows up in the Featurific text, which kinda stinks.
There's also a weird thing where sometimes if a post has a NGG gallery at the front, the gallery tag doesn't appear in the Featurific text, which is good, but some other text appears and I'm not sure where it's coming from.
For instance, the post in my #1 spot is currently about LEGO, but the text shown in Featurific has the text "iPhone 3G" at the beginning, which doesn't appear anywhere in the post.

I can't find any Paton's yarn in Allure or Ruby. Is that the YARN name or the COLOR name? It would be helpful to say what SIZE the yarn is, so that other types of yarn could be substituted.

Hi HisGrace4Me--Thanks for your comment. Paton Allure refers to the yarn name...Ruby is the color. So you'd be looking for Paton Allure Yarn in Ruby. Hope that helps!

why can't directions just include US size needles and eliminate the mm sizes which we do not use here in the US. The use of mm size needles creates much confusion as attested to in the above comments.

Jan 12, 2013
In order to achieve the size of this shawl as it appears in the photo, you need to make sure that you are using needles & yarn that successfully produce the same Tension/Guage stated in the pattern: 9 stitches and 13 rows of garter stitch pattern= 4" x4". So the finished shawl with 139 stitches wide and 163 rows will be 60-61" wide and 39" long.

I just finished this shawl and it is not as big as the one pictured. It's quite small. I used 10 1/2 needles US and followed the directions to a T. There must be something wrong with the directions. It just fits over my shoulders but does not wrap around like the picture. I made this for my daughter in law and now there is now way I can give it to her

If you use size 10 1/2 needles that is the correct size the 6 1/2 mm is the england size.

Member 6357910
Oct 11, 2010
Did you use 6 1/2 mm needles or SIZE 6 1/2 needles? The pattern calls for 6 1/2 mm needles which are a size US 10 1/2. There is a big difference in the two and a size 6 1/2 would account for the size difference in your finished shawl.

I like the way you have shown the steps taken to produce the final output, but would prefer the picture not to have had a frame, so version 5 would be my choice. Its eems the processing from colour to black and white seems to have enhanced the detail in the stone as well as the foreground. Perhaps the finished product could have been improved by a larger number of bracketed pictures in the first place?
Still a good picture and a well presented and informative selection.
