Algorithms are a fascinating use case for visualization. To visualize an algorithm, we don’t merely fit data to a chart; there is no primary dataset. Instead there are logical rules that describe behavior. This may be why algorithm visualizations are so unusual, as designers experiment with novel forms to better communicate. This is reason enough to study them...

- Sibyl: A System for Large Scale Machine Learning at Google
Last week, at the IEEE/IFIP International Conference on Dependable Systems and Networks, Google Software Engineer Tushar Chandra gave a keynote address outlining the systems aspects of Sibyl, a supervised machine learning system that is used for solving a variety of prediction challenges, such as YouTube video recommendations...
- New Beginnings in Facial Recognition
Developments in neural networks and deep learning are bringing great improvements in facial recognition, which could have exciting (and scary) applications on platforms like Google Glass...
- The Hidden Markov, The Goal-Keeper and The World Cup
It’s really hard to believe that Spain, being the previous World Cup Champion, cannot pass the Group Stage. I feel sorry for Casillas [Goal-Keeper], but Spain losing 1:5 to Netherlands was really an unexpected one. So, we suggest using a Hidden Markov Model to discuss the performance of Casillas in the match...
