today blodgett read instructive article, its english so cute!
excerpt for you here from abstract:

“Most of them, however, are redundant or irrelevant, and their existence may straightly lead to poor performance of learning algorithms. Hence, it is a compelling requisition for their practical applications to choose most salient features.”

straightly! :D blodgett thinks it hasn’t read this outside of austen.

cannot find good free copy (this seems best but may be temporary: http://74.125.155.132/scholar?q=cache:XoEXJND40KkJ:scholar.google.com)

other favourite part:
“Unfortunately, no systematic study has been conducted on the reliability and effectiveness of these [technique]s and the multitudinous algorithms will bewilder practitioners.”

ohnoes! the poor bewildered practitioners :(

plus bonus points for casual reference to miners! read all about it eh

a cheesefood, a cheesefood…

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

this dinnerfood employs a cheesefood item in a paquet which look like this:
http://www.google.co.uk/images?q=le+roule+cheese+food

requirements:
1 lump of butterfood
3 large leeks
6 slices of baconfood
75-100g roule quesofood
maybe bit of milk

1 frying pan into which these items will fit all at once

to manufacture:
1. wash and slice leeks
2. melt butter in frying pan, fry leeks
2a. while leeks fry cut up bacon
3. when leeks are soft add little baconfoods and fry them also
4. when all are fried add quesofood and mix in well
5. thin out sauce with milk and water as you like it
6. all done!

blodgett reckons it best with pastafoods, but does not deny there may be other good things upon which to pour this sludge

pdf font subsetting and embedding

Friday, May 7th, 2010

post of unusually high utility from blodgett!
was having arg with subsetting pdf fonts in latex and a graph generated with gnumeric. have discovered that inkscape 0.47 onwards (http://www.inkscape.org/) does this automatically! joy! :D

to solve: open pdf in inkscape (keep setting of ‘import text as text’), save a copy, done
