I am so proud that Crowdspeak‘s alpha demo is up and running!

On Crowdspeak you will be able to make your own crowd-questions. For this demo, there is just a fixed example question “What are the biggest challenges of working from home?”.

Visit Crowdspeak and type your own response! Crowdspeak will then take your response into account, and a new collective response will be generated in just a few minutes.

This collective response is a machine generated text made to express the majority of the individual responses given by the people!

Don’t forget to give us your feedback and to subscribe to the Crowdspeak newsletter for more!

Hello my friends!

Today, I would like to share with you Time Series Segmentation & Changepoint Detection!

It is an open-source R/Shiny app for time-series segmentation and changepoint detection tasks. The app acts as a front-end for R packages such as the magnificent changepoint package.

I had the pleasure of working together with wonderful colleagues at Medoid AI to develop this application. My role in this small project was more organizational and consulting.

For more information on the parameters and algorithms currently included in the app please read the following paper by Killick et al. For an overview of changepoint packages that may be included in the future please see the following page.

Stay safe!

Hi people!

I have created -just for fun- a Node.js web application that provides you a random data science image! Currently, the app is deployed in Heroku but I have limited monthly resources. So, if there is anyone who has premium account and would like to host it for free I would be grateful!

Heroku Application:

In this article I will present to you a POSIX function I wrote that can be used to create a server socket to support both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (IP-Agnostic). Recently, I needed to support this feature in a server application. The implementation uses POSIX system calls and data structures that can be used as generics to support both IPv4 and IPv6.

Zepto Web Server is a tiny open source HTTP web server well-written in C that can handle simple HTTP requests and serve information in HTML format by using dynamic modules that can be loaded at runtime. Also, the HTTP web server runs as a daemon process and is designed according to the MPM (Multi-Processing Module) architecture that allows multiple requests to be processed almost simultaneously. The main server daemon process creates and maintains various server workers which handle incoming requests.

AngularJS is really a great open-source framework for creating single page web applications (SPA) based on MVW (Model / View / Whatever) architecture. In this article, I’ll present to you how the Repository design pattern can be used in order to encapsulate into a separate layer all the underlying communication with a back-end remote system for performing CRUD operations. The example next is very simple since the user can load either a list of customers or a list of orders by clicking the appropriate link from a menu.

Whenever you want to post your email address to the public and don’t want to use a Contact Form which usually hides the address, try to display the address of the email as an image in order to avoid spam.

One way to achieve this is to manually create your email address as an image and embed it to your contact page. Most of the times we want this operation to be automatically. So, I have created a simple example to show you how you can make this possible.

It is true that Software Programming is a branch of Computer Science about which I’m pretty enthusiastic. But I’m very excited at the times when I learn something new and innovative on programming. Such a period of learning of new issues on programming was when I began to wonder about the way the Internet works. My questions were related to the client – server architecture model (on whose base the Internet and its services has been designed), how web applications is in practice implemented and how I could implement an Internet service on my own.
