Inside the Interface: Optimizing Search with Mathematica

Inside the Interface: Optimizing Search with Mathematica Tube. Duration : 3.60 Mins.

As a research analyst at BondDesk Group LLC, Joel Drouillard analyzes the way clients use the company's platform to search for fixed income securities. Recently, he started using Mathematica to go even deeper inside the interface to break down certain properties of searches. Using DatabaseLink, an industrial-strength Mathematica application that allows convenient integration of Mathematica with database management systems, Drouillard can easily retrieve all of BondDesk's click data. Once the data is in Mathematica, he can use the system's large collection of functions for numerical and symbolic computation and data processing to analyze and visualize clients' search behavior. Drouillard says, "I derive an immense amount of benefit from the tools Mathematica offers for mounting structures onto data. Visually, it's a big step forward, too." Drouillard says that with Mathematica's integrated approach to data handling, he can get a clearer picture of search activity on the company's interface and focus more on answering questions and optimizing the system. "One of the biggest advantages that I've derived from switching to Mathematica is its ability to operate in a vector sense or on a set sense rather than having to loop through everything. That's going to be relatively breakthrough in terms of my ability to now answer questions in a matter of minutes as opposed to...hours or days."

From Sound Synthesis to Sound Retrieval and Back

From Sound Synthesis to Sound Retrieval and Back Tube. Duration : 55.42 Mins.

Google Tech Talks July 10, 2007 ABSTRACT In this talk I will go over the technological and conceptual ties that exist between some of the current trends in sound generation for music and multimedia applications and the techniques for content based sound retrieval. This is because quite a number of the techniques being worked on for sound retrieval come from the field of sound synthesis and at the same time the new developments in retrieval are being applied and are inspiring new directions in the development of sound generation systems. To explain all this I will use examples from the research carried out in the Music Technology Group at the Pompeu Fabra University of Barcelona, Spain. In...

Data Collection is a Crucial Part of ABA Therapy

When looking at the various aspects of ABA therapy, it is easy to focus on such things as discrete trial teaching, repetition, or reinforcement. There is no doubt that these elements of the treatment are absolutely imperative. With that said, however, it is important for parents and educators to understand that even the best repetition and trials will be hindered without rigorous and proper data collection. ABA is an evidence based method of teaching, and the collection of data is absolutely essential.

Data collection helps ABA therapists accurately measure performance throughout the teaching process. Not only does it provide them with a deeper understanding of how the child progresses, but it enables them to monitor any setbacks or to identify any changes in environment or stimuli that led to different responses. It also helps parents and educators come up with behavior plans and to make adjustments to the curriculum as needed. The diagnostic information provided on data sheets should always be as detailed and accurate as possible, and schools and parents should work together to share and compare these sheets on a regular basis.

Data Collection Tools

There are a number of different types of data collection that help make ABA therapy more effective. Monitoring progress and setbacks is important, but it is equally important to make specific notes about reinforcement offered, prompts used to garner specific responses, and reactions to different stimuli and circumstances. It is also important to collect data on skill acquisition as well as on any improvements or changes noticed in any aspect of the therapy. This can help educators to understand exactly what is working and what is not and can even help to make clear what areas the child experiences the most difficulty in.

Data collection is as important to the student as it is for the educator. While parents and teachers collect data to help themselves understand what is working, the data is used to create a better learning environment for the student. ABA is always most effective when offered intensively at both home and school, and data collection makes it much easier for parents and educators to create matching lessons and trials and to compare data from different environments. Providing these students with the best learning opportunities possible is crucial, and this means creating trials that are as identical as possible. ABA can be very effective, and data collection can help ensure that you give your child the best opportunities possible.
