Bayesian Program Learning

Aiming to trim the learning process and turn it into a way through which humans acquire and apply a new form of knowledge based solely on examples, a team of researchers has developed a network called Bayesian Program Learning (BPL), which are used to teach computers to identify and reproduce handwritten characters based on a single example.

Standard pattern recognition algorithms represent concepts like pixels or collections of features configurations, the BPL system learns to "explaining" the example of the data to the algorithm. The concepts are represented as probabilistic software, while the algorithm essentially program itself through the construction of code to produce the letters when you see them. The system can also capture the variations of each person writing.



Also, the model "learn to learn", using different concepts-from knowledge to advance more quickly in new learning model, being able to use knowledge of Latin alphabet, for example, learn to write Greek in a much faster way. The researchers have applied the model of machine learning BPL over 1,600 types of handwritten characters from 50 sets of script languages as Sanskrit, Tibetan, gujarati and Glagolitic.

Antonio Rivero Machina received poetry prize XVII 'García de la Huerta' with his poetry collection "City of gold and lead", given annually by the Institute of education high school (IES) Suárez de Figueroa of Zafra.

According to the jury the poems of Antonio Rivero Machina, "along with its quality linguistic and structural coherence, offers the reader images and original and subtle metaphoric readings that invite you to explore the pages from the same title, as who runs a city and in she discovers love, discovers his passion, see the weight of history and our volatile presence in it and finally discover the beauty of the defeat.

Director of the IES Suárez de Figueroa emphasized the consolidation of this award with the contribution of City Hall and Cajalmendralejo, as well as other collaborators.

Antonio Rivero said he was grateful for this award, and highlighted the work of the school of literature of the IES Suárez de Figueroa, who had knowledge through different people and then, after a tour of his book, he recited some verses from the book of poems.For Deus has meant his debut with a scooter, which has not been impediment that could knock over the whole experience that they have gained throughout the years in motorcycle cafe racer and scrambler. And they have also done with a historical background for the most curious.


The name chosen for this so different from the Django version is "Le Derny", in clear reference in the first place to the bicycle manufacturer Roger Derny et fils (Roger Derny and sons), a Frenchman who would go on to the story behind developing a very special bike designed to "cut" the wind in front of the cyclists during your workouts.

It was dubbed the Gadfly, a clear nod to their Italian neighbors with the scooter. Such was their use that with the passage of the years, the term Derny became to designate any type of competition in which a motorcycle runs in front of the cyclist to cut the wind and allow you to achieve greater speed.

With this approach, Deus Ex Machina has built a completely different scooter that does not lack details as the back bar where cyclists touch with the front wheel as well as other details as the side roof bars for transporting bicycles, something that we have seen more often in other models of Deus, mostly oriented to surfboards.

The Derny thus pays tribute to the style of the 1950s, thanks to its careful aluminum body and an approach that reminds cyclists of postwar competitions. So much so that this model will participate in the Eroica, the bicycle race most famous vintage organized at routes of Tuscany and the Chianti Valley.
