<div class="entry-content"><p>I found Google’s Blogger to be tiring in writing workflow.
I looked into a few options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Blogger (working harder!)
<ul>
<li>Pros: Familar google workflow, most of times; analytics out-of-box.</li>
<li>Cons: Slow. Not flexible.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Wordpress
<ul>
<li>Pros: Popular.</li>
<li>Cons: Slow.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Github (md only), or even Gist?
<ul>
<li>Pros: Markdown is already my friend.</li>
<li>Cons: This is not blog.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Github Pages, via Jekyll
<ul>
<li>Pros: Markdown is already my friend; speed; geek credential.</li>
<li>Cons: Initial investment. Too flexible / too many options.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Github Pages, via Jekyll/Octopress
<ul>
<li>Pros: Markdown is already my friend; speed; geek credential; setup is more automatic than Jekyll only option.</li>
<li>Cons: Slightly overweight than Jekyll only.</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
<p>From a few factors, I chose “Github Pages with Jekyll/Octopress” option,
after trying out a bit with Jekyll (no Octopress) option.</p>
<p>So far, so good.</p>
<p>A few to-do items were:</p>
<ol>
<li>Done. ~Turn on Discus Comment~</li>
<li>Done. ~Turn on Google analytics~</li>
<li>Done. <del>Migrating old blogger.</del>
<ol>
<li>To-do. Will follow <a href="http://import.jekyllrb.com/docs/blogger/">http://import.jekyllrb.com/docs/blogger/</a></li>
<li>Actually, followed <a href="https://gist.github.com/baldowl/1578928">this gist</a>.</li>
<li>Still, need to choose what to keep (none?)</li>
</ol>
</li>
<li>Done. <a href="https://github.com/tokkonopapa/octopress-tagcloud">Tag cloud + category list</a></li>
</ol>
<h2>Octopress workflow</h2>
<p>If using <a href="https://github.com/robbyrussell/oh-my-zsh">oh-my-zsh</a>,
<code>rake</code> gives
<code>zsh: no matches found error</code>
all the time. Add this to <code>.zsh</code>:</p>
<pre><code>alias rake='noglob rake'
</code></pre>
<p>Then, the <a href="http://octopress.org/docs/deploying/github/">workflow</a> looks like:</p>

<p>Want to use Vertica JDBC driver in Eclipse/Maven dependency, but Maven central repository doesn’t have it.</p>
<h4>Solution:</h4>
<ol>
<li>Download vertica JDBC driver jar.</li>
<li><p>At the same directory of that jar, run the following similar to what’s described here. (somehow, running it in an different directory didn’t work. Just created that annoying “*.jar.lastUpdated”)</p>
<pre><code> $ mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=vertica -DartifactId=vertica-jdbc -Dversion=4.0.19 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=~/Downloads/vertica/vertica_4.0.19_jdk_5.jar -DgeneratePom=true
</code></pre></li>
<li>In Eclipse, Navigate > Show View > Other > Maven Repository</li>
<li>Open Local Repositories</li>
<li>Rebuild Index</li>
</ol>
<p>Now it shows up in “Add…” dialog in pom.xml edit.</p>
<p>Then have fun:</p>

<div class="entry-content"><p>Timezone / timestamps are easy to mess up.
It helps us in the long run
to have a solid conceptual framework
by reading about, among others:
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time">Timezone / UTC / GMT</a>,
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time">Unix epoch / timestamp</a>,
<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601">ISO 8601</a>,
and of course an <a href="http://xkcd.com/1179/">XKCD take on this</a>.</p>
<p>Essentially, most tasks are juggling between a few different entities:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Unix timestamp</strong>: Good.</li>
<li><strong>String with time zone</strong>: Good. e.g. “2013-06-24T10:21:11Z”</li>
<li><strong>String without time zone</strong>: Bad, bad, bad
<ul>
<li><strong>String with assumed UTC time zone</strong></li>
<li><strong>String with assumed non-UTC time zone</strong></li>
</ul>

<div class="entry-content"><p>Philosophy: tree organization and life cycle</p>
<p>Below is the typical directory structure. Numbers here mean the typical execution order in the lifecycle of the product. See the section in the official doc or another “ practical take”.</p>
<pre><code>project-name
trunk : (1) the latest and greatest. Keep working on this all the while (2)-(9) are happening.
branches
1.0 : (2) copied from trunk when the 1.0 release is planned (3) test (4) release (6) keep on maintain for bug fixes [merged to/from the trunk] (7) released when enough bug fixes are accumulated ...
2.0: (10) copied from trunk whn the 2.0 release is planned .. repeat.
tag
1.0.0 (5) tagged when released
1.0.1 (8) tagged at the time of the bug fix release
</code></pre>
<p>Minimal commands</p>
<pre><code># start developing
svn checkout svn+ssh://username@servername/repos/project-name/trunk
# daily cycle
svn update
svn commit -m '
</code></pre>
<p>Slightly advanced commands</p>
<pre><code># weekly cycle (if working on separate branch)
svn merge ^/trunk
# creating branch / tag
svn copy svn+ssh://username@servername/repos/project-name/trunk \
svn+ssh://username@servername/repos/project-name/branches/1.0
# comparing two branches
# (many modern editors syntax highlight *.diff files)
svn diff ^/trunk ^/branches/1.0 > trunk-vs-1.0.diff
</code></pre>
<p>Defensive commands</p>
<pre><code># bailing out
# svn revert xxx or more transparently:
rm xxx; svn update xxx
# rolling back to a previous revision
svn merge -r HEAD:23340 xxx
svn commit -m 'Rolled back to r 23340'

<div class="entry-content"><pre><code>PCA in R
PCA is well known tool in dimensionality reduction. Many nice articles on the subject of "principal component analysis for dimension reduction"
Typically combined with Fisher linear discriminant analysis in classification tasks.
In R, there's prcomp and princomp implementation. See this tutorial for some theory.
Question: for cross-validation task where PCA will be used for pre-processing explanatory variables, should PCA be applied to the training data only or to the whole data?
Random Forest in R
Always helps to read about the original idea.
Implementation is painless. Just use randomForest package in R. This guide is very nice, touching on key points.
Run it on the data. Don't forget to cross-validate.
Accuracy evaluation with ROC curve.
Evaluate importance of variables.
Question: Would PCA help random forest?
There's a choice of exactly how. Suppose X is the raw data (with many columns k) and X' be the PCA of that for top k' (<< k); do we use X? X'? [X; X']? Why?
Why would PCA help random forest for any of the choices above?
If not, why and how else can one improve random forest?

Latent semantic analysis (LSA): yet another SVD-driven data reduction technique applied to term-document data. (Was this patented??)
Classical classification methods: usual suspects including:
logistic regression (glm in R with family='binomial');
tree method (rpart in R)
neural net
</code></pre>
<p>Read this first for any data mining exercise. Always an awesome refresher. I have a copy of the 1st edition and… was shocked to see that doesn’t cover random forest! (2nd edition has that. Chapter 15)</p>

<div class="entry-content"><p>영어가 공용어인 국제학회에서 자주 느끼게 되는 것은 동양사람들이 겪는 영어의 어려움이다. 외국인들 중에서도 유럽사람들은 보통 편안하게 영어를 하는 편인데 한-중-일 삼개국은 영어에서 큰 어려움을 겪는 경우가 많다.</p>
<p>일본 사람들은 히라가나의 한계상 모음의 수가 적으므로 어려움이 더 크다. “마구도나루도”, “도라이바”, “가류” :) 등으로 대표되는 음소의 한계가 문제다. 한국은 그 정도는 아니지만 경험상 다음 발음들 때문에 어려움을 겪는다:</p>
<ol>
<li>f / p 구분. 사실 비교적 해결이 쉬운 문제이다.</li>
<li>r / l 구분. 역설적인 것은 혀를 굴리는 r 발음보다 엘 (l) 발음이 문제라는 것. 나도 wool socks를 몇번 달라고 반복해도 실패한 아픈 경험이 있다. Gilroy란 도시를 map app에서 아무리 voice recognition을 시켜 봐도 안되는것이 현실이다.</li>
<li>a / e 구분. 이것은 사실 잘 들리지도 않는다.</li>
<li>장-단 모음. 그러므로 beach와 sheet를 발음할 때는 extra로 신경이 쓰인다는 것.</li>
</ol>
<p>또한 흥미 있는 것은 스스로의 부족한 영어실력에 대한 반응이다. 유럽인들 중에서도 상당히 망가진 영어를 구사하는 발표자들이 있는데 그들의 태도는 “그럼 어때”에 가까운 경우가 많다. 자기 말이 아니니 못하는게 당연하다는… 이에 반해 동양삼개국, 특히 한국과 일본 분들의 경우는 좀더 영어의 어려움을 아프게, 개인적(personal)으로 받아들이는 경향이 있다. 물론 체면을 중시하고 무언가를 잘 못하는 것을 개인적 실패로 받아들이는 문화의 교육 탓이겠지.</p>
<p>어느 것이 옳은 태도인가? 자학하는 것보다는 할만큼 하고 안되면 그만인 태도가 도움이 된다. 실제로 영어하는 사람들은 non native speaker가 영어못하는 것 충분히 이해하고 가려 듣는다. 역설적으로, 그런 편안한 마음을 가질때 발표도 잘된다는 것. 영어는 자신감이다.</p>
