Rexa via Hunch

Bumped into two interesting sites while googling on model selection, power normal distribution, etc.

1. Rexa – Computer Science research index – intelligent than citeseer,etc
2. Hunch is an interesting blog on Machine Learning Theory

Model Selection and Differential Geometry

Vinh and I presented a paper by Myung, Vijay, et.al on how the geometry of parameter manifolds of PDFs can be used to arrive at a model selection criterion. More over, they show the relation between Bayesian Information Criterion and Minimum Description Length with interesting geometric intuitions.

Using xarg

Quick tutorial on ‘xarg’

In response to a query on Linux-L @ UF list, to locate and delete certain files


mkdir /tmp/vmware; locate vmware | xargs -I {} mv -f {} /tmp/vmware

(OR) this (painfully slow) command if your locate database is not updated recently

find / -name “*vmware*” -exec mv {} /tmp ; -print

Some more interesting commands from the discussion:

- a very small amount of ‘awk’, for example
ls -l | awk ‘{print $5}’

- Not to mention bash functions like these
foldoc()
{

}

- perl -i -pe ’s/foo/bar/’ *.txt (just replaced foo with bar in all *.txt)

Gators win NCAA 2006 BasketBall Championship, in style

 … FLASH Update: Gators win 2007 NCAA Basketball Championship as well …

—————-

Florida : 73 UCLA: 55

This is gators’ first championship and hence UF is a Basket-Ball school as well. Gators win it in style, setting several new records. This is the straight 18th NCAA match victory. The 6ft-11 Noah Joakim is the most outstanding player with 16 points, nine rebounds and a record six blocks in the final (and a record 29 blocks in the tournament). Coach Billy Donovan becomes second youngest to lead a team to NCAA Championship.
