List of genealogy databases This is a list of genealogy databases and online resources that are not specifically restricted to a particular place, family set, or time period in their content. Comparison of notable databases for uploading family trees[edit] Some of these also have social networking features. References[edit] YAGO - D5: Databases and Information Systems (Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik) Overview YAGO is a huge semantic knowledge base, derived from Wikipedia WordNet and GeoNames. Currently, YAGO has knowledge of more than 10 million entities (like persons, organizations, cities, etc.) and contains more than 120 million facts about these entities. YAGO is special in several ways: The accuracy of YAGO has been manually evaluated, proving a confirmed accuracy of 95%. Every relation is annotated with its confidence value.YAGO combines the clean taxonomy of WordNet with the richness of the Wikipedia category system, assigning the entities to more than 350,000 classes.YAGO is an ontology that is anchored in time and space. YAGO is developed jointly with the DBWeb group at Télécom ParisTech University.
Hands-On (Or Actually, Heads-On) With Muse, The Headband That Reads Your Brain Waves You may or may not have noticed, so I’ll provide a quick fashion world dispatch: Headbands have been gracing the foreheads of many a stylishperson over the past few years. If a Toronto-based startup called InteraXon has its way, that trend will become even more pervasive for years to come as people buy its own Muse headband — but the Muse is meant to be much more than just a fashion statement. It’s a brainwave-reading gadget that is meant to help you better understand all the complicated ways that your mind works and use that knowledge to improve your life. It’s a fun product and a compelling mission, so we had InteraXon’s founder and CEO Ariel Garten stop by TechCrunch’s on-site stage at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week to give us a first-hand look at the Muse. Watch the video embedded above to hear Garten explain how the Muse works, why someone would wear it, and InteraXon’s larger vision for its “thought-controlled computing” platform.
List of academic databases and search engines From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This article contains a representative list of notable databases and search engines useful in an academic setting for finding and accessing articles in academic journals, institutional repositories, archives, or other collections of scientific and other articles. Databases and search engines differ substantially in terms of coverage and retrieval qualities.[1] Users need to account for qualities and limitations of databases and search engines, especially those searching systematically for records such as in systematic reviews or meta-analyses.[2] As the distinction between a database and a search engine is unclear for these complex document retrieval systems, see: the general list of search engines for all-purpose search engines that can be used for academic purposesthe article about bibliographic databases for information about databases giving bibliographic information about finding books and journal articles.

YAGO-NAGA - D5: Databases and Information Systems (Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik) AIDA is a method, implemented in an online tool, for disambiguating mentions of named entities that occur in natural-language text or Web tables. AMIE (Association Rule Mining under Incomplete Evidence in Ontological Knowledge Bases) is a joint project with the Ontologies group. ANGIE is an active knowledge system for interactive exploration. DEANNA is a framework for natural language question answering over structured knowledge bases. HYENA is a multi-label classifier for entity types based on hierarchical taxonomies derived from YAGO2. Javatools The Javatools are a suite of Java classes for a variety of small tasks, such as parsing, database interaction or file handling. Knowledge Kaleidoscope Gathering and ranking photos of named entities with high precision, high recall, and diversity. LEILA was the predecessor of SOFIE. NAGA is a new semantic search engine supporting keyword search for the casual user as well as graph queries with regular expressions for the expert user.
Blog, We're in! CartoDB is a Publishing Startup Showcase Finalist Yesterday, O’Reilly Media announced the finalists for its Publishing Startup Showcase, and we’re very excited to say that we’ve been selected as one of ten startups.

It is recognized as an essential tool by modern business since it is able to convert data into business intelligence thus giving an informational edge. At present, it is widely used in profiling practices, like surveillance, marketing, scientific discovery, and fraud detection. There are four kinds of tasks that are normally involve in Data mining: * Classification - the task of generalizing familiar structure to employ to new data* Clustering - the task of finding groups and structures in the data that are in some way or another the same, without using noted structures in the data.* Association rule learning - Looks for relationships between variables.* Regression - Aims to find a function that models the data with the slightest error. For those of you who are looking for some data mining tools, here are five of the best open-source data mining software that you could get for free: Orange RapidMiner Weka JHepWork
Comment: Fire service unfairly criticised over soggy squirrel saga Comment: Fire service unfairly criticised over soggy squirrel saga 12:10pm Friday 11th January 2013 in News By Mike Wright, Chief Reporter Somewhere roaming the verdant patches of Watford is arguably the most famous squirrel in the world. Yet this bushy-tailed rodent is oblivious to its newly-acquired renown or the global media hullabaloo it inadvertently provoked when it took a near-fatal dip in Watford pond on Sunday. Its assent to stardom began when passers-by were left aghast to see this soggy squirrel stranded on island in the middle of the water feature in The Parade. The result was a 999 call to the emergency services as people started entering the pond in an attempt to rescue the forlorn creature. Fire crews from Watford responded to the call with their standard response for reports of a person in water - in this case two fire engines and a water support appliance. When the firefighters arrived they discovered there was no one in the pond except the aforementioned squirrel.
MusicBrainz - The Open Music Encyclopedia Data.gov Janki Method | Jack Kinsella - Rails Developer London MUST READ: Major Update To JANKI Method For nearly two years after I wrote this post I continued to use flashcards for learning programming and made a number of large refinements. I wrote about Janki Method Refined on my company blog. Open it up in a new tab and read it next to get a complete picture. This is a guide to becoming a productive programmer quickly. In his book Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell told the world it takes 10,000 hours to master something. Janki Method is an attempt to shorten the time needed to learn programming. Well-intentioned learners don’t always learn quickly, despite their smarts and enthusiasm. You’ve read that learning by doing is better than passive reading; that expressing ideas in writing forces understanding; that knowledge needs constant revision to stay fresh; that creativity comes from linking disparate ideas; and that your past mistakes are your best teachers. I call this the Janki Challenge, and I invite you to take part. Problems With Learning Appendix
List of largest wikis Wikipedia's distinction shown on the table between a "conservative" and an "inclusive" number of pages originated in 2002 with the replacement of UseModWiki's spontaneous wiki modes with MediaWiki's embedded namespaces. For Wikimedia projects: The conservative number for the Wikipedia excludes redirects, discussion pages, image description pages, user profile pages, templates, help pages, portals, articles without links to other articles, and pages about Wikipedia. This may not be true for other wikis.The conservative number for Wikimedia Commons and Wiktionary excludes "talk" pages, pages about Wikipedia, minimal "stub" pages, redirects, and others that probably don't qualify as content pages.
