In our office, we regularly enjoy some rounds of foosball / table football after work. I have put together a small java program that generates random 2vs2 lineups from the available players and stores the match results in a database afterwards. The current prediction of the outcome uses a simple average of all previous match results fro...
Does anyone have a graph of the best Netflix prize submission by day? I'd like to get a prediction of when it will be solved based on extrapolating the existing progress. Alternativly, when do you think it will be won and why? ...
I've got an idea for a better predictor for a time remaining widget but I need some data to run through it to test how well it works. I'd like it to work well for predicting how long a variety of things will take to finish. Things like downloads, installs, computations, etc. What I'm looking for is data in the form of {%done, time} pair...
What techniques do people recommend to track the quality level of a new program? Are their ways to take a poorly defined term like "quality level", quanitify it and then make predictions? Currently I use bug rates and S curves but I am looking for other ways to evaluate, estimate and predict quality levels. ...
I'm looking for an algorithm or example material to study for predicting future events based on known patterns. Perhaps there is a name for this, and I just don't know/remember it. Something this general may not exist, but I'm not a master of math or algorithms, so I'm here asking for direction. An example, as I understand it would be ...
I was thinking about how in the probably distant future many people think that we wont rely on physical input (i.e. keyboard) as much because the technology that reads brain waves (which already exists to some extent) will be available. Kinda scares me....anyway, I while I was daydreaming about this, the idea came to me that: what if a p...
I'd like to know what method is best suited for predicting event occurrences. For example, given a set of data from 5 years of malaria infection occurrences and several other factors that affect the occurrences, I'd like to predict the next five years for malaria infection occurrences. What I thought of doing was to derive a kind of occ...
I was reading about the Weighted slope one algorithm ( and more formally here (PDF)) which is supposed to take item ratings from different users and, given a user vector containing at least 1 rating and 1 missing value, predict the missing ratings. I found a Python implementation of the algorithm, but I'm having a hard time porting it t...
I am looking for a tool which can predict deadlocks in java before the occur. I tried to use MTrat but failed (maybe it does not supports Sun Hotspot JVM so well) Does someone have a good tool for this purpose? ...
Hello, I'd like to ask your opinion on this. This is a theoretical question. I'm in a situation where I have an interface shown to a user that uses AJAX to talk to the server. The server-side language does not matter here. I have a form with fields and each of them are deletable. If the user selects a few "delete" -checkboxes and press...
I'm building a web semantic project that gathers the maximum ammount of historic data about a certain company and tries to predict its future market stock values. For data I have the historic stock values (not normalized), news (0 to 1 polarity) and subjective content (also a 0 to 1 polarity). What is the best AI system to train and us...
Hello, I am curious what are the methods / approaches to overcome the "cold start" problem where when a new user or an item enters the system, due to lack of info about this new entity, making recommendation is a problem. I can think of doing some prediction based recommendation (like gender, nationality and so on). Thanks ...
Hi, I'm writing a little tool that counts the downloads of an app. I save every download with a timestamp. What algorithm (php and mysql) is normally used for predicting eg todays downloads? Greets, Nick ...
Example: if (almost_always_false_condition) { // do something } Is there a way to suggest compiler that in 99% condition will be false. The condition calculation takes ~60 cycles to be checked, and it cannot be calculated at compile time by compiler itself. (gcc 4.3) ...
I am trying to write a program for weather forecasting using backpropagation. I am a beginner in this field. I have historical data with different parameters like temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall etc. I am confused about how to provide this data to the input layer. Is each input node to be given the whole of the data for a g...
Lets say I have three models/tables: operating_systems, words, and programming_languages: # operating_systems name:string created_by:string family:string Windows Microsoft MS-DOS Mac OS X Apple UNIX Linux Linus Torvalds UNIX UNIX AT&T UNIX # words word:string defenitions:string wi...
Problem ; Consider following simplified code fragment; if (d==0) d=1; if (d==1) ... Construct the action table for the 1-bit predictor with 1-bit correlation assuming predictor initialized to NOT TAKEN and the correlation bit is initialized to TAKEN. The value of d alternates 1,2,1,2 Note count the instances of misprediction. I ...
Hi, i know nothing about programming or C or windowing... nothing too deep about computers... but i'm very interested in: given a pseudo-random binary sequence (e.g.: 00101010010101) of finite values, predict how will the sequence continue. Can someone please tell me the easiest way to do it? Or in case it's too difficult for someone who...
Planning to use HTML5 in a big project, I need to make an exact timeline for future changes. Is there any source to tell me when a particular feature of HTML5 will be ready? Is there a roadmap for HTML5 support for each particular web engine? Just for some more details, I’m working on a social/video sharing site. I want to use new feat...
I have looked around for the past year to put tide predictions on a client's website. All I could find was free "widgets" I could use or xtide. The problem with the widgets, they are branded all over the place and looks very unprofessional for the environment. So I was looking to install xtide on the server, but after 3 days and multiple...
