Tech talk

In this talk I'll show you different algorithms that I've been researching for Javascript and NodeJS finally diving into neural networks using SynapticJS.

MicrosoftML (MML) is a new machine learning package for Microsoft R Server. Microsoft R Server brings you the ability to do parallel and chunked data processing that addresses the restrictions of in-memory open source R. MML adds Microsoft's battle-tested algorithms and data transforms that are used by product teams across Microsoft. This brings new machine learning functionality with increased speed, performance and scale, especially for handling a large corpus of text data and high-dimensional categorical data. MML includes the ability to: Create text classification models for problems such as sentiment analysis and support ticket classification. Train deep neural nets in order to solve complex problems such as retail image classification and handwriting analysis. Work with high-dimensional data for scenarios like online advertising click-through prediction. Solve many other common machine learning tasks such as churn prediction, loan risk analysis, and demand forecasting ...

Microsoft R Server 9.1.0, Microsoft's R distribution with added big-data, in-database, and integration capabilities, is released in April 2017 and is available for download. The release has several exciting features, including new machine-learning capabilities to support text and image processing and improved operationalization. The update includes new functionality to MicrosoftML. This package provides state-of-the-art, fast and scalable machine learning algorithms for common data science tasks including featurization, classification and regression. Some of the new functions include: Added support for most MRS platforms including Spark, , and Linux Out of the box image featurization with several deep neural pre-trained models Easy to use sentiment analysis functionality Support for Ensembling and parallel learning Improved operationalization on web and SQL

Why is Bootstrap one of the most widespread and influential JavaScript frameworks? For starters, it’s an intuitive and versatile open source framework for organizing content on a page and building UIs. Join developer Adrian Leven as he steps through five top Bootstrap questions and concepts to explain some of the tips, tricks, and pitfalls that every front-end developer should know before they start using it. Begin with an overview of what Bootstrap is, and then dive into how to center an element both vertically and horizontally. From there, look at how to maintain consistent height between your columns, discover the significance of the sr-only tag, and explore the various sizings that are specified within the framework’s grid system. Get started with Bootstrap today! 1 | Question 1: What is Bootstrap? Learn what Bootstrap is, and get the details on this web framework. 2 | Question 2: How can I center an element vertically and horizontally? Learn how to center an element vertica...

Optimizations in Syntax Highlighting Visual Studio Code version 1.9 includes a cool performance improvement that we've been working on and I wanted to tell its story. TL;DR  TextMate themes will look more like their authors intended in VS Code 1.9, while being rendered faster and with less memory consumption. Syntax Highlighting Syntax Highlighting usually consists of two phases. Tokens are assigned to source code, and then they are targeted by a theme, assigned colors, and voilà, your source code is rendered with colors. It is the one feature that turns a text editor into a code editor. Tokenization in VS Code (and in the  Monaco Editor ) runs line-by-line, from top to bottom, in a single pass. A tokenizer can store some state at the end of a tokenized line, which will be passed back when tokenizing the next line. This is a technique used by many tokenization engines, including TextMate grammars, that allows an editor to retokenize only a small subset of the line...
