I’ll be at the 2019 Montreal AI Symposium today, presenting a poster about Network sampling and an application to Machine Learning: Network sampling and applications to big data and machine learning from Antoine Rebecq Featured image: Montreal Skyline, by Taxiarchos228
Tomorrow (November 7th), I’ll give a talk at the Statistics Canada Symposium on survey sampling and big data. I’ll show how techniques that were developed at official statistics institutes can now be used in the context of big data and machine learning, and add a lot of value. I’ll show some examples with: A/B testing Tracking design Calibration in Machine Learning Network analysis User feedback Bring survey sampling techniques into big data de Antoine Rebecq And really glad to…
Tomorrow (march 23rd), I’ll be presenting my work on sampling designs for graph (and particularly extension sampling designs, with an application to Twitter data) at the MAD Stat seminar of the Toulouse School of Economics. Here are my slides: Sampling graphs efficiently – MAD Stat (TSE) from Antoine Rebecq
This weekend I released version 0.3.0 of the Icarus package to CRAN. Icarus provides tools to help perform calibration on margins, which is a very important method in sampling. One of these days I’ll write a blog post explaining calibration on margins! In the meantime if you want to learn more, you can read our course on calibration (in French) or the original paper of Deville and Sarndal (1992). Shortly said, calibration computes new sampling weights so that the sampling estimates match…
I’m in the beautiful city of Avignon for the 3rd ISNPS conference, which is held in the extroardinary Palace of the Popes Convention center. I’ve been invited by Ricardo Cao to give a talk wednesday morning during on sampling methods for big graphs. Sampling methods for graphs from Antoine Rebecq
Je commence ma semaine en tombant sur un article de LCI qui indique qu’une enquête OpinionWay estime qu’un jeune sur cinq serait prêt à “coucher” pour réussir en entreprise (note : l’info a été en fait reprise dans beaucoup de quotidiens ce lundi matin). On note au passage la magnifique illustration qui montre cinq jeunes salariés … je suppose qu’il faut se demander lequel parmi les cinq est sur le point de coucher pour réussir ? Essayons d’avoir un regard…
I will be talking at CMStatistics on Monday, December 14 about how sampling methods can be used to estimate statistics on Twitter’s graph. Sampling the Twitter graph from Antoine Rebecq
