海外TECH	DEV Community	What does a Machine Learning Engineer actually do?	https://dev.to/claudiodavi/what-does-a-machine-learning-engineer-actually-do-5f07	What does a Machine Learning Engineer actually do Recently Paige Bailey Twitter Github Tweeted an analysis she did on the state of Machine Learning cohorts Using her Article as a basis I d like to share my view on what I ve doing for the past three years as a Machine Learning Engineer and where I believe I find myself in There s a lot of contradiction of what a Machine Learning Engineer is today and most job openings just assume what it is based on the company s needs Researches like Paige s help us understand and begin to draw lines of what we should be doing or even know what our job title should be I constantly receive job offers asking if I m interested in positions such as Data Engineer ML or Software Developer Data which to my understanding does not fit my profile With this in mind here s my take on what I as a Machine Learning Engineer am doing Basic Exploratory Data Analysis EDA It is impossible to do any Machine Learning work without knowing your data first I say BASIC here because I m looking to find the underlying structure of the data not doing a fancy report or discovery What I usually do here is to find which features I m going to use which are irrelevant and which machine learning methods are the most appropriate for the problem at hand What I DON T do Fancy reports customer dashboards and presentations That would be a Data Scientist s or Data Analyst s job Traditional Machine Learning As I stated before it is quite hard to do ML without EDA so after finding out the problem I m dealing with I ll generally mess around with some ML techniques That could be Sklearn XGBoost or even Tensorflow Pytorch Again I m not looking for state of the art performance nor big fancy models as you see on NeurIPS article s or OpenAI releases I m looking to solve a small very specific problem inside my domain Nothing fancy Considering this it would put me in somewhere along the lines of the Data Scientist Business Traditional ML Product Integration Here is where I think the Engineering part of ML Engineering comes in I already have built a model that solves a very specific domain problem now what can I do to make it available for everyone Here I ll usually look for the best approach to put the model in production create a data pipeline and if needed updating and training pipelines for future use Generally this is done with Docker containers and some frameworks like MLFlow and a hosting platform like AWS or GCP This will fill into the ML Ops practitioner bucketAs the team evolves and more people come in I can see the ML Engineer focusing more and more on and Sometimes you can receive a ML Model built on Sklearn with several preprocessing steps which will yield a model with hundreds of MB if not GB and poor performance Those can be optimized and I already have found myself doing these kind of optimizations As a finishing thought according to Paige s cohort studies I d be a mix of MLOps practitioner and Data Scientist Business Traditional ML These are the roles I d fit in the most and probably the mix that for me would describe what a ML Engineer does What do you think Am I missing something What is a Machine Learning engineer to you	2021-06-21 18:29:24
海外TECH	DEV Community	JavaScript-30-Day-19	https://dev.to/cenacr007_harsh/javascript-30-day-19-1i5f	JavaScript Day Unreal Webcam Fun demoSo what are we going to be building today Today we are going to make a photo booth with JavaScript First of all we ve got our video being piped in from our webcam and then we ve got our video being piped into a canvas element Then once it s in a canvas element we can start to do all kinds of cool things with it Like we can take our photo and then you can go ahead and download them They ll download to yourcomputer and you can see them as real photos Then in the scripts once we have it we can start to add effects like different filters where things should be red Or what we can do is make this really cool RGB split where you can see my face Before we get started today there is onething that we do need to get up and running and that is a server So far in this course we ve just been working off ofthe file However because of security restrictions withgetting a user s webcam it must be tied to what s called a secure origin A secure origin is a website thatis HTTPS or in our case localhost is alsoa secure origin index html needs to be fed through some sort of server Wes included a package JSON file If we open that up you ll see one dependency which is this called browser sync It allows you to open up your website and start a little server and it also gives you live reloading and a whole bunch of other stuff First we type npm install when that has finished what you can type is npm start This is the html we start with lt div class photobooth gt lt div class controls gt lt button onClick takePhoto gt Take Photo lt button gt lt div gt lt canvas class photo gt lt canvas gt lt video class player gt lt video gt lt div class strip gt lt div gt lt div gt We quickly make a couple of selectors const video document querySelector player const canvas document querySelector photo const ctx canvas getContext d const strip document querySelector strip const snap document querySelector snap The first thing we want to do is get the videobeing piped into that video element navigator mediaDevices getUserMedia video true audio false Now that thing this going to return a promise so we call a then on it navigator mediaDevices getUserMedia video true audio false then localMediaStream gt console log localMediaStream Now what we need to do is to take our video and we need to set the source to be that localMediaStreamNow that s not going to work automatically because localMediaStream is an object In order for our video to work it actually needs to be converted into some sort of URL video srcObject localMediaStream video play catch err gt console error OH NO err createObjectURL That s going to convert that media stream into something that this video player can understand Now what we will see is one or two frames not a continuous video stream Why is that That s because we set the video to be this media stream But it s not going to update unless we actually go ahead and play it Therefore underneath that we ll call video play which is going to play it We need to do a catch here just in case someone doesn t allow you to access their webcam We need to handle that error Here is the complete getVideo function function getVideo navigator mediaDevices getUserMedia video true audio false then localMediaStream gt console log localMediaStream video srcObject localMediaStream video play catch err gt console error OH NO err getVideo The next thing that we need to do is to take a frame from this video and to paint it onto the actual canvas on the screen We ll first re size our canvas according to height and width of actual video Now we need to make sure that the canvas is theexact same size before we paint to it That s really important because if the canvas is not the same size as the videoor if your video webcam has a different width and height to it then we need to change that const width video videoWidth const height video videoHeight canvas width width canvas height height Now what we want to do is to every milliseconds random choice we are going to take an image from the webcamand put it into the canvas return setInterval gt ctx drawImage video width height Here is the complete paintToCanvas function function paintToCanvas const width video videoWidth const height video videoHeight canvas width width canvas height height return setInterval gt ctx drawImage video width height The way that dramImage works is that you pass it an image or a video element and it will paint it right to it We re going to start at Start at the top left hand corner of the canvas and then paint the width and the height That s exactly why we resized our canvas We return that interval here because if you ever need to stop this from painting you can have access to that interval andyou can call clearInterval on it It s kind of a pain to have to manually run this paintToCanvas So what we re going to do is We re going to listen for an eventon the video element called canplaycanplay That s an event that the video will emit video addEventListener canplay paintToCanvas Now what we want to do is let s work on the takePhoto function First of all we add capture sound to it for effect snap currentTime snap play What we now need to do is take the data out of the canvas We can do this const data canvas toDataURL Then you pass it image jpeg The image that we currently have is in a text based representation so we need to convert in into a link const link document createElement a link href data link setAttribute download handsome We can now not only click photos but download them as well Now we want the photos to be visible on the screen as well link innerHTML lt img src data alt Handsome Man gt strip insertBefore link strip firstChild Here is the complete take photo function function takePhoto played the sound snap currentTime snap play take the data out of the canvas const data canvas toDataURL image jpeg const link document createElement a link href data link setAttribute download handsome link innerHTML lt img src data alt Handsome Man gt strip insertBefore link strip firstChild The last thing that we want to do is do some filters on them So the way that a filter works is that you get the pixels out of the canvas and then you mess with them changing theRGB values and put them back in So let s go back up to our paintToCanvas Here are the changes we make take the pixels outlet pixels ctx getImageData width height mess with thempixels redEffect pixels red filter pixels greenScreen pixels green screen effect pixels rgbSplit pixels rgb split effect ctx globalAlpha for ghosting effect put them backctx putImageData pixels Here is the completed function function paintToCanvas const width video videoWidth const height video videoHeight canvas width width canvas height height return setInterval gt ctx drawImage video width height take the pixels outlet pixels ctx getImageData width height mess with thempixels redEffect pixels red filter pixels greenScreen pixels green screen effect pixels rgbSplit pixels rgb split effect ctx globalAlpha for ghosting effect put them backctx putImageData pixels and now you create the functions for effects function redEffect pixels for let i i lt pixels data length i pixels data i pixels data i RED pixels data i pixels data i GREEN pixels

GCP	Cloud Blog	Leveraging BigQuery Public Boundaries datasets for geospatial analytics	https://cloud.google.com/blog/topics/developers-practitioners/leveraging-bigquery-public-boundaries-datasets-geospatial-analytics/	Leveraging BigQuery Public Boundaries datasets for geospatial analyticsGeospatial data is a critical component for a comprehensive analytics strategy Whether you are trying to visualize data using geospatial parameters or do deeper analysis or modeling on customer distribution or proximity most organizations have some type of geospatial data they would like to use whether it be customer zipcodes store locations or shipping addresses However converting geographic data into the correct format for analysis and aggregation at different levels can be difficult In this post we ll walk through some examples of how you can leverage the Google Cloud platform alongside Google Cloud Public Datasets to perform robust analytics on geographic data The full queries can be accessed from this notebook here  Public US Geo Boundaries datasetBigQuery hosts a slew of public datasets for you to access and integrate into your analytics Google pays for the storage of these datasets and provides public access to the data via the bigquery public data project You only pay for queries against the data Plus the first TB per month is free These public datasets are valuable on their own but when joined against your own data they can unlock new analytics use cases and save the team a lot of time  Within the Google Cloud Public Datasets Program there are several geographic datasets Here we ll work with the geo us boundaries dataset which contains a set of tables that have the boundaries of different geospatial areas as polygons and coordinates based on the center point GEOGRAPHY column type in BigQuery published by the US Census Bureau Mapping geospatial points to hierarchical areasMany times you will find yourself in situations where you have a string representing an address However most tools require lat long coordinates to actually plot points Using theGoogle Maps Geocoding API we can convert an address into a lat long and then store the results in the BigQuery table  With a lat long representation of our point we can join our initial dataset back onto any of the tables here using the ST WITHIN function This allows us to check and see if a point is within the specified polygon  ST WITHIN geography geography This can be helpful for ensuring standard nomenclature for example metropolitan areas that might be named differently The query below maps each customers address to a given metropolitan area name It can also be useful for converting to designated market area DMA which is often used in creating targeted digital marketing campaigns Or for filling in missing information for example some addresses may be missing zip code which results in incorrect calculations when aggregating up to the zipcode level By joining onto the zip codes table we can ensure all coordinates are mapped appropriately and aggregate up from there Note that the zip code table isn t a comprehensive list of all US zip codes they are zip code tabulation areas ZCTAs Details about the differences can be found here Additionally the zip code table gives us hierarchical information which allows us to perform more meaningful analytics One example is leveraging hierarchical drilling in Looker I can aggregate my total sales up to the country level and then drill down to state city and zipcode to identify where sales are highest You can also use the BigQuery GeoViz tool to visualize geospatial data Aside from simply checking if a point is within an area we can also use ST DISTANCE to do something like find the closest city using the centerpoint for the metropolitan area table  This concept doesn t just hold true for points we can also leverage other GIS functions to see if a geospatial area is contained within areas that are listed in the boundaries datasets If your data comes into BigQuery as a GeoJSON string we can convert it to a GEOGRAPHY type using the ST GEOGFROMGEOJSON function Once our data is in a GEOGRAPHY type we can do things like check to see what urban area the geo is within using either ST WITHIN or ST INTERSECTS to account for partial coverage Here I am using the customer s zip code to find all metropolitan divisions where the zip code polygon and the metropolitan polygon intersect I am then selecting the metropolitan area that has the most overlap or the intersection has the largest area to be the customer s metro that we use for reporting The same ideas can be applied to the other tables in the dataset including the county urban areas and National Weather Service forecast regions which can also be useful if you want to join your datasets onto weather data Correcting for data discrepancyOne problem that we may run into when working with geospatial data is that different data sources may have different representations of the same information For example you might have one system that records state as a two letter abbreviation and another using the full name Here we can use the state table to join the different datasets Another example might be using the tables as a source of truth for fuzzy matching If the address is a manually entered field somewhere in your application there is a good chance that things will be misspelled Different representations of the same name may prevent tables from joining with each other or lead to duplicate entries when performing aggregations Here I use a simple Soundex algorithm to generate a code for each county name using helper functions fromthis blog post We can see that even though some are misspelled they have the same Soundex code Next we can join back onto our counties table so we make sure to use the correct spelling of the county name Then we can simply aggregate our data for more accurate reporting  Note that fuzzy matching definitely isn t perfect and you might need to try different methods or apply certain filters for it to work best depending on the specifics of your data The US Geo Boundary datasets allow you to perform meaningful geographic analysis without needing to worry about extracting transforming or loading additional datasets into BigQuery These datasets along with all the other Google Cloud Public Datasets will be available in the Analytics Hub Please sign up for the Analytics Hub preview which is scheduled to be available in the third quarter of by going to g co cloud analytics hub Related ArticleIntroducing Analytics Hub secure and scalable sharing for
