An Aesthetic Comparison of Human-Readable
Hashing Functions

The following compares the output of several creative hash functions designed for human readability.

sha1's are merely used as arbitrary, longer, distributed input values.

Quick List of Resources for Topological Data Analysis with Emphasis on Machine Learning

This is just a quick list of resourses on TDA that I put together for @rickasaurus after he was asking for links to papers, books, etc on Twitter and is by no means an exhaustive list.

Survey Papers

Both Carlsson's and Ghrist's survey papers offer a very good introduction to the subject

• Topology and Data by Gunnar Carlsson
• Barcodes: The Persistent Topology of Data by Robert Ghrist

Other Papers and Web Resources

• Extracting insights from the shape of complex data using topology A good introductory paper in Nature on the Mapper algorithm.

How to Branch

try to keep your hacking out of the master and create feature branches. the [feature-branch workflow][4] is a good median between noobs (i have no idea how to branch) and git veterans (let's do some rocket sience with git branches!). everybody get the idea!

Basic usage examples

1. Probabilistic Data Structures for Web Analytics and Data Mining : A great overview of the space of probabilistic data structures and how they are used in approximation algorithm implementation.
2. Models and Issues in Data Stream Systems
3. Philippe Flajolet’s contribution to streaming algorithms : A presentation by Jérémie Lumbroso that visits some of the hostorical perspectives and how it all began with Flajolet
4. Approximate Frequency Counts over Data Streams by Gurmeet Singh Manku & Rajeev Motwani : One of the early papers on the subject.
