This is a first for this blog, and hence worth mentioning.
I came across a paper that is to appear in the proceedings of the IEEE Conference on Computer Systems and Applications 2010. Find the paper here.
This paper cites an old post on this blog, one of the first few infact. This is reference number [2] on the paper. It was good to know, and more importantly, a boost to blog to discuss small ideas that are otherwise improper for a formal presentation.

Since it is lame to write just the above lines, I leave you with a couple of talks that I watched over the friday night and I would highly recommend.
There was a talk by Machine Learning pioneer Geoffrey Hinton some years ago at Google Tech Talks that became quite a hit. This talk was titled The Next Generation of Neural Networks that discusses Restricted Boltzmann Machines, and how this generative approach can lead to learning complex and deep dependencies in the data.
There was a follow up talk recently, that I had long bookmarked, but just got around to seeing yesterday. This like the previous is a fantastic talk that has completed my conversion to begin exploring deep learning methods. :)
Here is the talk –
Another great talk that I had been looking at last night was a talk by Prof Yann LeCun
Here is the talk –
This talk is started by the late Sam Roweis. It feels good at one level to see his work preserved on the internet. I have quite enjoyed talks by him at summer schools in the past.

The link in the paper doesn’t seem to work, is it supposed to be this? https://onionesquereality.wordpress.com/2008/01/31/adaptiverouting-taking-cues-from-stigmergy/
Hi Yaroslav!
The link on the paper works for me.
In the link you sent, there has to be a dash between adaptive and routing. This is the post.

Ah thanks, it works now. Dash is indeed in the paper, but Acrobat Reader loses it during copy-paste
Congrats man.
