LCS & GBML Central under inspection

It is very common that NCSA machine get continual attacks over the net. Today I got a note from the security team that LCS & GBML Central may have been compromised. We are looking into it. As a precaution the automatic measures has been fired, that means, that the box is currently unroutable. Hope it […]

NIGEL 2006 revisited (Part I): Wilson and Goldberg

I finally finished transcoding the videos from NIGEL 2006 and started uploading them to Vimeo. Every week I will upload two of them following NIGEL 2006 agenda. I will also embed the slides that are already available on SlideShare, if available for the talk. Enjoy this first release, Wilson vs. Goldberg. I have also included the meeting introduction just for nostalgia purposes.

Transcoding NIGEL 2006 videos

Last week Pier Luca Lanzi was visiting IlliGAL. Yesterday, before he left for Chicago, we went for one last brunch.  He mentioned that he liked a lot the videos we shot during NIGEL 2006. Thinking about it we agreed would be useful to recover the videos and upload them into some of the usual video […]

Last week Pier Luca Lanzi was visiting IlliGAL. Yesterday, before he left for Chicago, we went for one last brunch.  He mentioned that he liked a lot the videos we shot during NIGEL 2006. Thinking about it we agreed would be useful to recover the videos and upload them into some of the usual video sharing site suspects. Currently they are hosted, for long term storage purposes, at NCSA’s web archive. I spent sometime retrieving them from the archive (they are pretty fat and encoded in wmv) and I stated transcoding it in m4a. My plan? Make them available via Vimeo and LCS & GBML Central. Also, I will be uploading the presentation slides to SlideShare and also make them available via LCS & GBML Central.

Update: The first two videos (Wilson and Goldberg) are already available at LCS & GBML Central.

LCS & GBML Central: Community resource is now Online

LCSweb was designed to allow researchers and those seeking to use Learning Classifier Systems within applications access to material on LCS and discussion between members of the LCS community. The site served this community since its was started by Alwyn Barry in 1997. Enhanced and maintained later by Jan Drugowitsch, LCSweb became a valuable community […]

LCSweb was designed to allow researchers and those seeking to use Learning Classifier Systems within applications access to material on LCS and discussion between members of the LCS community. The site served this community since its was started by Alwyn Barry in 1997. Enhanced and maintained later by Jan Drugowitsch, LCSweb became a valuable community resource. The site was completely community-driven and allowed members to contribute to the content of the site and keeping it up to date. Later on in 2005, I started “LCS and other GBML” Blog to cover a gap providing information information regarding the International Workshop on Learning Classifier Systems (IWLCS), the collection of LCS Books available, and GBML related news.Some of you may have realized that after Jan’s move to Rochester and Alwyn’s retirement from research activities, LCSweb has vanished. Will Browne took on himself to take LCSweb to Reading, but technical circumstances have made that move rocky despite his best efforts. Jan and Will however still have a local copy of LCSweb contents. After talking to Jan and Will, I proposed to merge LCSweb with the LCS and other GBML blog, and host the new site at NCSA where dedicated resources has been made available. Jan and Will agreed with the idea.We are happy to announce that the merged site (still under the update cycle) can be reached at http://lcs-gbml.ncsa.uiuc.edu. More information about the process can be found here or at there LCS & GBML Central site.
