Machine Learning for Everyone

ml-for-everyone

Machine Learning for Everyone makina ogrenmesinin temellerine inen ve konuyu basitçe anlatan güzel bir e-kitap.

Machine Learning for Everyone is a good ebook that goes to the basics of machine learning and simply tells the subject.

Classical machine learning is often divided into two categories – Supervised and Unsupervised Learning.

In the first case, the machine has a “supervisor” or a “teacher” who gives the machine all the answers, like whether it’s a cat in the picture or a dog. The teacher has already divided (labeled) the data into cats and dogs, and the machine is using these examples to learn.
One by one. Dog by cat. Unsupervised learning means the machine is left on its own with a pile of animal photos and a task to find out who’s who. Data is not labeled, there’s no teacher, the machine is trying to find any patterns on its own. We’ll talk about these methods below.
Clearly, the machine will learn faster with a teacher, so it’s more commonly used in real-life tasks.
There are two types of such tasks:
classification – an object’s category prediction, and
regression – prediction of a specific point on a numeric axis.

You can find the details in the book.

Machine Learning Yearning

Machine-Learning-Yearning

Makine ogrenmesi konusunda teknik stratejileri anlatan 100 sayfalik bir kitap…

A 100-page book describing technical strategies for machine learning …

Machine learning is the foundation of countless important applications, including web search, email anti-spam, speech recognition, product recommendations, and more. I assume that you or your team is working on a machine learning application, and that you want to make rapid progress. This book will help you do so.

Example: Building a cat picture startup
Say you’re building a startup that will provide an endless stream of cat pictures to cat lovers.


You use a neural network to build a computer vision system for detecting cats in pictures.
But tragically, your learning algorithm’s accuracy is not yet good enough. You are under tremendous pressure to improve your cat detector. What do you do?
Your team has a lot of ideas, such as:
• Get more data: Collect more pictures of cats.
• Collect a more diverse training set. For example, pictures of cats in unusual positions; cats with unusual coloration; pictures shot with a variety of camera settings; ….
• Train the algorithm longer, by running more gradient descent iterations.
• Try a bigger neural network, with more layers/hidden units/parameters.
• Try a smaller neural network.
• Try adding regularization (such as L2 regularization).
• Change the neural network architecture (activation function, number of hidden units, etc.)
• …
If you choose well among these possible directions, you’ll build the leading cat picture platform, and lead your company to success. If you choose poorly, you might waste months.
How do you proceed?
This book will tell you how. Most machine learning problems leave clues that tell you what’s useful to try, and what’s not useful

Using ITracingService in Microsoft Dynamics CRM plugins

The ITracingService interface provides a way to log plug-in run-time information. This method of logging information is especially useful for sandboxed plug-ins registered with Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online that cannot otherwise be debugged using a debugger.  It was introduced in CRM 2011.

Tracing assists developers by recording run-time custom information as an aid in diagnosing the cause of code failures. Tracing is especially useful to troubleshoot Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online registered custom code as it is the only supported troubleshooting method for that scenario. Tracing is supported for sandboxed (partial trust) and full trust registered custom code and during synchronous or asynchronous execution. Tracing isn’t supported for custom code that executes in Microsoft Dynamics CRM for Outlook or another mobile client.

The tracing information is displayed in a dialog of the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Web application or in the event log for on-premise deployments, only if an exception is passed from a plug-in back to the platform.  However, starting with CRM Online 2015 Update 1, a trace logging feature was introduced that records tracing information even when an error does not occur.

Logging and tracing

An alternative method to troubleshoot a plug-in or custom workflow activity (custom code), compared to debugging in Microsoft Visual Studio, is to use tracing. Tracing assists developers by recording run-time custom information as an aid in diagnosing the cause of code failures. Tracing is especially useful to troubleshoot Microsoft Dynamics 365 (online) registered custom code as it is the only supported troubleshooting method for that scenario. Tracing is supported for sandboxed (partial trust) and full trust registered custom code and during synchronous or asynchronous execution. Tracing isn’t supported for custom code that executes in Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Outlook or another mobile client.

Recording of run-time tracing information for Microsoft Dynamics 365 is provided by a service named ITracingService. Information provided to this service by custom code can be recorded in three different places as identified here.

  • Trace log
    Trace log records of type PluginTraceLog can be found in the web application by navigating to Settings and choosing the Plug-in Trace Log tile. The tile is only visible if you have access to the trace log entity records in your assigned security role. Writing of these records is controlled by the trace settings mentioned in the next section. For information on required privileges for the PluginTraceLog entity, see Privileges by entity.
  • Error dialog
    Asynchronous registered plug-in or custom workflow activity that returns an exception back to the platform results in an error dialog box in the web application presented to the logged on user. The user may select the Download Log File button in the dialog to view the log containing exception and trace output.
  • System job
    For asynchronous registered plug-in or custom workflow activities that returns an exception, the tracing information is shown in the Details area of the System Job form in the web application.

Enable trace logging:

To enable trace logging in an organization that supports this feature, in the web application navigate to Settings > AdministrationSystem Settings. In the Customization tab, locate the drop-down menu labeled Enable logging to plug-in trace log and select one of the available options. 

OptionDescription
OffWriting to the trace log is disabled. No PluginTraceLog records will be created. However, custom code can still call the Trace method even though no log is written.
ExceptionsTrace information is written to the log if an exception is passed back to the platform from custom code. 
AllTrace information is written to the log upon code completion or an exception is passed back to the platform from the custom code.

If the trace logging setting is set to Exception and your custom code returns an exception back to the platform, a trace log record is created and tracing information is also written to one other location. For custom code that executes synchronously, the information is presented to the user in an error dialog box, otherwise, for asynchronous code, the information is written to the related system job.

By default, the System Administrator and System Customizer roles have the required privileges to change the trace logging setting, which is stored in a TraceSettings entity record. Trace settings have an organization scope.

Writing to the trace service from a Plug-in:

Before writing to the tracing service, you must first extract the tracing service object from the passed execution context. Afterward, simply add Trace calls to your custom code where appropriate passing any relevant diagnostic information in that method call.

//Extract the tracing service for use in debugging sandboxed plug-ins.

ITracingService tracingService = (ITracingService)serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(ITracingService));
// Obtain the execution context from the service provider.

IPluginExecutionContext context = (IPluginExecutionContext)
    serviceProvider.GetService(typeof(IPluginExecutionContext));

// For this sample, execute the plug-in code only while the client is online.
tracingService.Trace("AdvancedPlugin: Verifying the client is not offline.");
if (context.IsExecutingOffline || context.IsOfflinePlayback)
    return;

// The InputParameters collection contains all the data passed
// in the message request.
if (context.InputParameters.Contains("Target") &&
    context.InputParameters["Target"] is Entity)
{
    //Obtain the target entity from the Input Parameters.
    tracingService.Trace("AdvancedPlugin: Getting the target entity from Input Parameters.");
    Entity entity = (Entity)context.InputParameters["Target"];

    //Obtain the image entity from the Pre Entity Images.
    tracingService.Trace("AdvancedPlugin: Getting image entity from PreEntityImages.");
    Entity image = (Entity)context.PreEntityImages["Target"];
}
