Hi NPComplete, I participate a lot in Kaggle competitions (https://www.kaggle.com/) where I get to do a lot of predictive analytics. Sadly, I haven't won any yet ![]() I don't refer to personalization/recommendations as predictive analytics. I think they are distinct fields. Predictive analytics usually involves predicting one continuous/categorical value for a datapoint - e.g trying to determine if a loan applicant will default, if it'll rain tomorrow, if an insurance claim is valid etc. Unlike recommenders systems where the predicted values are usually not as restricted. For computer vision it's mostly personal work. I do the usual object classification and scene labelling. I'm particularly interested in building a device for visually impaired people. Enough about me. What do you do? ![]() |

Hello DAvit0, With respect to the job titles, the lines are somewhat blurred. However, when defined formally, there are some differences. For example, a Data Scientist cares a lot about explaining data and understanding it - they do a lot of causal inference. Not to say an MLE doesn't care about understanding data, an MLE just doesn't care as much. On the other hand, an MLE must know tons of advanced ML algorithms, not just the theory but also the details so he/she can implement, tune and improve them. But will a Data Scientist care as much about mastering advanced algorithms? No. I think this guy explains it well https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-difference-between-a-data-scientist-and-a-machine-learning-engineer/answer/Manish-Tripathi?srid=nSVb Compare these job descriptions Data Scientist -https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/a0I1200000I9nSlEAJ/, Machine Learning Engineer - https://www.facebook.com/careers/jobs/a0IA000000G34SMMAZ/ I'm sure you'll notice the difference in the description. The areas of overlap involve both groups understanding the basics of each of their respective fields. Cheers 1 Like |

Hey NPComplete, Farouq here. I'm a Machine Learning Engineer working at Konga. I didn't attend the IBM session. Weird I didn't even know about it until it passed. Lately, I've been working on predictive analytics, recommendations and computer vision. And there's this NLP task I've been struggling with for a while now. ![]() It appears you have some questions about Data Science (perhaps even not related to the IBM session?). I'd be glad to help however I can. I don't normally identify as a Data Scientist because it's not exactly the same thing as a Machine Learning Engineer but there are indeed areas of overlap. Cheers. I tweet frequently, you can find me here @farouqzaib 1 Like |

Hey, Some openings are posted on Google Dev Group, Lagos. https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/lagos-gtug All the best. |

@indigold2010, Okay. Thank you very much for your time. |

@indigo2010 Yes, I did. It reported "error device: not found" |

@indigold2010, I've installed HTC drivers and adb & fasboot. Adb doesn't list my device when I do adb devices |

@indigold2010 Thank you very much. I'll give it a go and let you know how it goes. |

@indigold2010 Thank you very much for your responses. I placed a call and couldn't end it because the screen froze. Then I tapped the screen several times, still no response. I think I pushed the power button down until it went off. I turned it on but it was very slow, so I turned it off. I turned it back on, it was up for a while then it went off. |

@indiegold2010 I've tried it a dozen of times. No reaction. No screen! No vibration! Nada! The charging LED only comes on when plugged in. |

@indigold2010 Oh my, that is incorrect! I think I meant to say I tried booting into the bootloader. |

@Indiegold2010 Yeah, I tried that. Power button plus volume down button, right? I got nada. How bad is it? |

Hey guys, My HTC One S abruptly went off last night and I haven't been able to turn it on since. I "suspect" it's charging because the charging LED is on. And the battery wasn't even drained when it went off. I've tried fast boot (holding the power button and volume down button for at least 2 minutes), I got nada! I've been charging it for at least 7 hours now, yet nada! Any tips guys? |

I'm good bro. I was wondering when you would chip in. |

You should look at this, if you haven't done so already. http://www.nodebeginner.org/ |

Just think of it like this. Instead of writing your backend(server-side) code in Java/Python or whatever, you write it in JS. The code(JS) runs on your server, it handles POSTs, GETs and spits HTML and whatever else is needed. It's basically a framework for writing JS on the server. I hope I helped, it's been a while since I played with it. |

Hi, Seeking individual opinion is IMHO too much work. However, like earlier suggested, Google is your friend. That should give you more insight than any you can get here. If after your search you need help on clarifying some concepts, it'll be easier to help you as the focus would have been narrowed. Coursera has a lot of material on most of the topics you listed. I suggest checking out the website. |

In concept, it's one of the trade-offs of Test Driven Development. You write tests before you write code for the feature, this in a way forces you to code to your tests. |

aribisala0: I am not a muslim but my reading of the quran indicates that Jihad indicates internal struggle what Psychologists may characterize as the struggle of the id and superego is this correct? I don't really understand your question. Jihad encompasses a broad term and internal struggle is one of it's aspect. Internal struggle is the greatest form of Jihad(I'm sure those Boko boys forget that). |

Kanye's Mom had surgery complications. Jennifer Hudson's family(Mom, Brother and Nephew) were killed by estranged husband of Jennifer's sister. Dr. Dre's son od'ed(overdosed on drugs). Except o'course you still harbour silly thoughts that they were somehow complicit in the deaths of their family. I hope you grow some grey and white matter before end of the year. 2 Likes |

naija_swag: Whatever happened to you? It's commendable that you can do project for MSc guys but what happened to the principled guy? We always bash people about how they just wanna pay for their school stuff and don't wanna learn. I mean no disrespect, it just kinda jumped out at me. |
