Do you want to live in a Smart City

Stephen Poole in the The Guardian has written a very interesting and thought provoking long article The truth about smart cities: In the end, they will destroy democracy that presents both sides of the vision of the future smart city; the benefits of a highly connected society and infrastructure and the potential pitfalls. With online privacy and data security such hot topics at the moment its certainly easy to see how the smart city of the future could be fraught with dangers. I recommend you read it.

Smart Autofill Harnessing the Predictive Power of Machine Learning in Google Sheets

Posted by Konstantin Davydov, Software Engineer and Afshin Rostamizadeh, Research Scientist

Much of Google’s work on language, speech, translation, and visual processing relies on machine learning, where we construct and apply learning algorithms that make use of labeled data in order to make predictions for new data. What if you could leverage machine learning algorithms to learn patterns in your spreadsheet data, automatically build a model, and infer unknown values?

You can now use machine learning to make predictions in Google Sheets with the newly launched Smart Autofill Add-on. With a single click, Smart Autofill predicts the missing values of a partially filled column in your spreadsheet by using the data of other related columns. Smart Autofill uses the non-missing data to learn patterns and differs from the standard "Auto-fill" feature of Sheets, which attempts to fill in only simple patterns that it already knows (e.g. calendar dates, days of the week, ordered numbers).

As an example, in the screenshots below, we give four very simple characteristics of used vehicles (year, number of miles, number of doors, and type: car or truck) as well as the price for some of the vehicles. Since the prices are probably correlated with the characteristics of the vehicle, we can use Smart Autofill to estimate what the missing prices should be. The rows that do contain a price will be used as examples to learn from in order to fill in the rows with a missing price.

Smart Autofill uses Googles cloud-based machine learning service Prediction API, which trains several linear as well as non-linear classification and regression models. The best model is automatically chosen for your problem by finding the one with the smallest misclassification error (for categorical data) or root-mean-squared error (for numeric data) calculated by using cross-validation on the labeled (non-empty) set of examples.

To use Smart Autofill, after following the installation procedure, simply select "Add-ons > Smart Autofill > Start" which will open a sidebar. Select a block of data that includes the column to Autofill and click "Next". Finally, from the selected data, choose a target column to Autofill and click "Start" (Figure 1). Now just sit back as Smart Autofill does its work and fills in the missing values (Figure 2).

Figure 1: Highlighting the dataset and selecting the target column.

Figure 2: After clicking "Start" a model is trained and applied to automatically fill in the missing values of the target column. Note, the estimated error of the model is reported in the sidebar.

An estimate of the error-rate of the model (based on the non-missing data) is shown in the sidebar after the missing values are filled. The accuracy of Smart Autofill (as well as the accuracy of the estimated error) depends on many factors, including the amount and quality of the data provided. While not all datasets will be ideally suited for machine learning, we hope our more in-depth tutorial will provide an idea of the range of problems where Smart Autofill can be effective.

While the vehicle pricing example is relatively simple (in reality used vehicle prices are a function of more than just four variables), more complex datasets could have many more non-target columns as well as data rows. Also, the target column does not need to be numeric, since Smart Autofill can also predict categorical values (i.e. in the car example the target column value could have contained the categories "expensive", "moderate", "affordable" instead of price). Other illustrative scenarios include:

• You have a spreadsheet that holds the results of a customer survey, but one of the columns (e.g. "overall satisfaction 1-5") has some missing values. If the other columns of the survey can help indicate overall satisfaction then you can try using Smart Autofill to estimate the missing values.
• You keep a spreadsheet of restaurants that youve visited and their characteristics (type: Italian, ambiance: quiet, cost: $$$, etc.) and whether you enjoyed the restaurant or not. Now you can add the characteristics of new restaurants to your spreadsheet and use Smart Autofill to guess at which ones you might enjoy.

The example dataset and more detailed tutorial for the add-on can be found here. We hope you discover new and useful ways to incorporate the predictive power of machine learning with your data.

Tags: smart screen on pro apk, smart screen on pro 1.4 apk, smart screen on lite, smart screen on android, smart screen on app, smart screen on xda, smart screen on iphone, smart screen on 1.4 apk, smart screen on pro apk download

Smart screen ON is an innovative app which turns your proximity sensor into a power button! play now!

Features:
When you change the settings, remember saving and restarting service using built in app specific button.
There are two mode available, both mode can coexist:

WAVE MODE:
Wave (move) your hand/finger on proximity sensor, even without touching it.
You can set the amount of waves you want to use to turn on/off screen and the time between each wave.
Do you want to wave your hand quickly or slowly?


TAP AND SWIPE MODE:

• Tap proximity sensor using your finger;
• Wait for the first vibration;
• Swipe (remove) quickly your finger, before it vibrates for the second time.
• You can set the time before the first and the second vibration.

DISABLE SENSOR
You can also disable sensor after an amount of time you can set in the app panel.
The app will disable the whole service and proximity sensor after X time of inactivity.


STATISTICS
Statistics include:
A)Smart Screen ONs;
B)Smart Screen OFFs;
C)Total power button saves;
D)The power used by your proximity sensor (which is very very low).


START ON BOOT

If you check this, the app will start on boot.


HIDE ICON

If you hide the icon, the app could be instable and could be killed by Android in low memory conditions.


ENABLE FOR TURNING SCREEN OFF

The app has been created to turn screen off, but I also give you the ability to turn screen off.


DISABLE WHEN LANDSCAPE

The sensor will stop working when landscape.


INCOMPATIBILITY

HTC Desire HD is not compatible with "wave mode" because its proximity sensor doesnt work as it should.



Whats in this version :
Fixed JB issues, improved graphic.

Awesome! the new version!
