Is anybody also participating in data science nigeria competition?

SoftEng:


I'll be trying my hands on one of the challenges. I'm not yet sure which challenge I'll work on.

Anybody here interested in collaborating, please let me know. However, you have be:
1. really serious minded.
2. create time out of your busy schedule to work on the challenge.
3. ready to read research papers.
4. ready to learn quickly required background/related techniques.
5. already fluent in at least one programming language (preferably python)

Please only those who meet the above requirement should indicate interest.

Thank you.

Interesting challenges. Thanks for keeping us updated.
I sure would love to collaborate with you, though i will only be able to fully meet requirment 2 after the next three weeks. Got very tight schedule... Damn

I'm tempted to call this Love but nahhhhhhhhhh.

WTF this was embarrasing.
She dey cast and bind.
Only religion can make people this stupid.

Hi all,

The first Data Science Nigeria for the year has kicked off. Below is a link to the competition hosted on Kaggle. Do well to check it out if you're interested. You can learn a lot more about Machine Learning through participation in the competition.

Thanks.

This is very interesting.

Bro i currently have been reading about the level of AI used in sex dolls that are currently trending... I haven't been able to get much information about it though.... Buh it looks a bit complex..
Anyone with more insight on this
Cc : 4kings

Well i have a little insight, but only on the communication and possibly sensing(if it's incorporated).
For communication that's NLP, this should not be big of a deal.

I don't know if the sex dolls built have some form of environment sensing, but i have freelanced a project, where i had to work on Xethru chip which has a python and matlab binding and can be used for respiratory sensing and anlayis, and some other cool stuff.(My main focus for the guy was on respiration) So if this is also being used in the sex doll, the sex doll could track the partner's breathing and other sensing stuff to analyse for weakness, eagerness, location, bad health condition(possibly) and whatever else that can be analysed.

As for the body, i'm really blank. Below is a youtube video showing how the sex dolls are made in the factory but i don't know what the materials are made of.

Nice one.

AnonyNymous:

You wish

We shall battle this on chess.com someday.

*pssst* I'll possibly build an automated machine learning program to beat you. lol

AnonyNymous:

Are you serious? We could play sometime

Do you have any special program going on in December in your school? From the 12th to the 20th/22nd ??

Ya, we close early because of a Shiloh program in the church (It's a winners chapel thing).

Anyways, i'm sure we would have taken the most golds.

Oga scientist,what is the Medical solution to this ,you said making it impossible right ,so what are the Possibilities ,the solution. ...This should not upset you but rather challenge you to profer solution to such case .

He should relax and take focus on other thing, to make blood flow leave the pen*s.
This can be very hard, but either ways it'll be over in hours. *eventually*.

Last one i heard, a short operation was performed by doctors for quick relieve.

Amberon:
Shut up!

Did i say something wrong?
This is a new year ooo

busjeep:

You get sense at all, why the thing no dey happen to husband and wife.

Like i said, go and read about it.
It's a rare occurrence.

and some gullible people will come her to claim there's nothing like voodoo. Haven't seen any of them so far

Don't be silly.
This is Pen*s captivus, go read about it.

Good one!!!

.....And a programmer, long story short, he is Iron Man

He is incredible.

Isaac Newton was also wrong about theory of gravity... *just saying*

Really like the nifty innovations you are creating with your platform.

Running via it. I came up with this random idea. Just look into it.

Rather than trudging through multiple stores to find the best price or waiting for coupons/sales, quickfinda can also cut out that process for the consumer by simply having them post on the platform with what they want at a desired price. Then, the platform finds them sellers to connect with. In addition to helping consumers get better deals on the things they want, quickfinda wants to provide businesses with an ongoing outlet for finding new customers by alerting them when a buyer's post matches their inventory.

Many retailers and businesses, on both small and large scales, have picked up on the consumeristic trend of demand-based buying. However, there still is no go-to medium for buyers to tell businesses exactly what they want and how much they are willing to pay. I THINK Quickfinda can best any other ecommerce platform when it fosters a completely demand-driven environment before it becomes an emerging market.

Too much english but ....

Good idea!

Who did and where was it refuted?

Are you kidding me right now?
Please go through this link and read till you see how you "cop-out" as usual.
Or simply just look at budaatum point there.

Wow . I'm really busy now . Maybe next week . But seriously, what argument could you possibly bring that hasn't been refuted.

Hmm.

I knew from the very start that NO ONE could produce anything because there is actually NO tenable argument or reason to say there is God (separate conscious entity that transcends the universe ) .



No

Let's debate Yahweh.
Any argument for your "seperate conscious entity that transcends the universe" would be vague cos it can be used for Allah, Flying spaghetti monster, Man from Taured, Deism, 4kings and many more.

What argument can you give that Yahweh exists?

KingEbukasBlog:


Quantum mechanics does not prove the universe came from nothing neither does it prove the universe is eternal . I'm not talking of redefined "nothing" in science ignorant atheists use to confuse people . I'm talking about utter nothingness - physically , meta-physically and even to the quantum level .

Even Sean Carroll admitted that utter nothingness existed prior to the "quantum world' .

Please can you post a link of where Sean Carroll said that? or state how he came up with that conclusion?

A universe as a whole from utter nothingness is pure stupidity - the idea is being entertained because of atheists who are "scientists" are uncomfortable with the fact that a universe which has a beginning must have a transcendent cause .

You know quantum calculations are pointing to an eternal universe?
I've told you about this before.

By the way, nothingness in science(quantum fields) granted is not what it's philosophically supposed to be, but creation from quantum events kinda sounds like universe from a "redefined" nothing.

Not my fault you can't understand it .

Understand what exactly?

There cant be an infinite number of past events and infinite number of causes .

Why?

The beginning of the universe has to be the first temporal event that has ever occurred.

Why does it have to be "the first temporal event"?

For a universe with a beginning, we have myriads of reasons in science with actual evidence. The Borde-Vilenkin-Guth theorem is popularly used as evidence to support a finite universe .

Seriously?
What has William Lane Craig done to you? lol

May i ask how you think Borde-Vilenkin-Guth theorem depicts a FINITE universe?

SoftEng:
well done odizeey

4kings, how are you coming along with your YOLO studies? Also, did you manage to attend the AI saturday class yesterday (and how was it)?

Thanks.

Goodday SIr.
I've been very occupied with work and have not done or learnt much yet, hoping to get very free soon.

As for the AI saturday class, i wasn't able to attend on saturday, though i was sent the curriculum of event, and for last class they did Introduction to Linear algebra, intro to python and numpy and cloud set up, so I've not really missed much so far, apart from the cloud setup.

Next week is intro to Deep learning and CNN theory, that should be interesting.


Curriculum.

Yahweh does not exist!!!

Well that's good of you.

I'm not really sure what i'll do to be honest i might just wait for a while to recieve any call before spending it or miraculously go to the bank for confirmation *depending on the amount*.

This is impressive!!!

Happy New Year to you, my brother!

You haven't posted since November.
I hope no be Nairaland banners got you o. Seun will hear it!

That's true.
He might have been banned.

Something cannot come from nothing or Nothing produces Nothing (Ex nihilo nihil fit )

Something has to be eternal

The universe cannot be eternal due to philosophical and scientific reasons

And since all evidence points to a finite universe (one that has a beginning )

Then the universe was caused to exist , the agent behind its existence is itself uncaused .

The agent= God

The great Thomas Aquinas and Leibniz presented it in a better way though ..lol

Then Kalam's Cosmological Argument for God's existence presents this in a syllogistic form

1. Whatever begins to exist must have a cause
2. The universe began to exist
3. Therefore , the universe has a cause

The cause of the universe is beginless , uncaused , non-physical , immutable etc .



The Big Bang was a procedure used to bring the universe into being sort of . The Big Bang is not an agent .

This "something cannot come from nothing argument" is old, weak and not so clear now when observing the quantum world.
I'm not saying i believe the universe comes from nothing but the current weirdness and inadequate understanding of quantum fields opens a possibility.

And why can't a universe be eternal due to your "scientific" reasons?(I sincerely want to know this and please if it's the misunderstanding of Hawking's lecture you wanna bring as argument then don't bother.)
Also i might be interested in learning the philosophical points too.

I'm not so surprised late last year, they also believed Buhari was Jibrin in copy.

I will just leave this statistic here so you know these APC people are shameless liars



China is the world's largest rice producers and they did not even smell 2million metric tonnes and here these bastards are claiming their LAKE rice production to be 15million tonnes!

Incredible

slowpoke, that's in thousands as stated in your own diagram.
China produces more than 210 million metric tonnes
