i build Systems & Tools for Analysis, Prediction, Visualization, & Simulation.
i also design, code, and implement/deploy complete Machine Learning-based applications intended to run daemonized inside production web applications (e.g., anti-fraud filter, recommendation engine, monitoring/anomaly detectors); preferably these applications are built as external services and accessed from a main app via RESTful API.
Techniques:
Machine Learning: in particular, recursive descent parser (CART/C4.5), Multi-layer Perceptron, SVM/SVR, Kernel Machines, kNN/kdtree, Graphical Models (eg, Markov Random Field)
Dimension Reduction Techniques: spectral decomposition (PCA & kPCA, kLDA), Kohonen Map (self-organizing map)
Social Network Analysis & Visualization: using graph theoretic techniques for e.g., community detection, id of members essential for network health/growth; identify nascent sub-communities; (particular fluency GraphViz, the premiere tool for graph layout/visualization, NetworkX, the primary network analysis library for python, and d3).
Analysis & Modeling of Time-Dependent Data
Optimization: Combinatorial Optimization and Constraint-Satisfaction Programming
Numerical Methods: e.g., matrix decomposition, Monte Carlo techniques, Gaussian quadrature, finite difference methods
Data Modeling for "Non-Relational" systems (in particularly Redis and MongoDB) and for relational (ROLAP), multi-dimensional (MOLAP), and hybrid (HOLAP) Data Warehouse systems using conventional relational/SQL servers.
toolchain:
- python
- SciPy + NumPy + Matplotlib
- javascript
- R
- redis
- HDF5 (& pytables, hfpy)
- graphviz
- node.js
- flask/werkzeug (python web framework)
- storm (distributed processing)
- d3.js (svg-based primitives for rendering plots in the browser)
- git (& gitHub)

What is the difference between “grammar” and “usage”? "i'll need to study your examples..." was not meant as skepticism (a/e/b i up-voted & accepted this answer); instead, i meant that the rule you've recited looks to me, consistent and discernible, but i'll just need to look more closely at it before i am able to apply it myself--a weakness of the reader not the text. |

What is the difference between “grammar” and “usage”? +1, nice one Shoe. I'll need to study your examples more closely before i can distinguish them myself. |

Non-sexual meaning of “to have a hard-on for someone” +1 from me. Gunnery Sergeant Hartman is perhaps the last character in American film that i would expect to be mentioned on this Site. |

Non-sexual meaning of “to have a hard-on for someone” i think it was Jay McInerney in "Bright Lights, Big City" who once said (paraphrasing) that if references to sex, sports, and war were removed from the lexicon of men in corporate america, they would be forced to communicate in pure mathematics. |
