  1. Incubator 5.1

    In this incubator this morning, Sophie and I worked on the IPython Notebook — Myria pipeline. In particular, we pushed some bug fixes to some SSL bugs (but not all the way) and demonstrated an ability to issue queries in Datalog or MyriaL from Python that get executed on Myria!

  2. Data and databases

    Over the weekend, both Sophie Clayton and Andy Becker worked independently on their Data Science Incubator projects; I spent some time then and today answering emails :).

    In the Myria research meeting, we had both Johannes Gehrke from Microsoft ...

    Another fantastic hack session with Sophie today. We analyzed the quality and quantity of data in the existing files, including determining which of the 64K SeaFlow samples are within a reasonable amount (say, 1σ) of the “average” SeaFlow sample according to the calibration beads. Surprisingly/hearteningly, the vast majority of ...
