Twitter API: Mining Data using Orange Data Mining Platform

عن

In this one hour long project, you will mine, analyze and visualize various trending tweets using Word Cloud, Heat map, Document Map and perform sentiment analysis using Orange. Orange is an open-source data visualization, machine learning and data mining toolkit. Without any prior programming experience, Orange allows you to mine Twitter. If you are a corporate employee, marketer, or even a student who wants to explore how to mine tweets, Orange is the best platform for it. We will begin this guided project by creating a Twitter developer account and applying for elevated access. We will create an app within the Twitter developer portal and get its API keys and then use these API keys to connect to Orange data mining software. We will fetch tweets about trending topics and create a Word-cloud for text visualization and Documents map to get Geo-location data about trending tweets. In the final tasks, we will perform sentiment analysis and explore the emotions behind each tweet using the Tweet Profiler widget. We will also create a Heat-map to understand the overall sentiment of a trending topic. In order to complete this project successfully, you need a Twitter account.

Exploring Emerging Technologies for Lifelong Learning and Success
  • Level Foundation
  • المدة 4 ساعات hours
  • الطبع بواسطة The State University of New York
  • Offered by

عن

This learning opportunity is an open-access resource for lifelong learning. The aim is to identify the value and implications of using established and emerging technology tools for personal and professional growth and acquire strategies to develop lifelong learning habits to keep pace with technology change. This course is targeted to the needs of ALL learners, including college students, faculty, current and career-seeking professionals, and anyone from across the globe with a desire to learn how to use emerging technologies to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world. This project consists of two associated parts; #EmTechMOOC and EmTechWIKI. #EmTechMOOC is a Massive Open Online Course, also called a MOOC. The MOOC is hosted on the Coursera platform and provides a supportive environment for dialogue and sharing among participants. The MOOC course environment is structured around 5 modules. The concepts that are covered include Lifelong Learning and the 4Cs of 21st-century skills: Communication and Collaboration, Creativity, and Critical Thinking. Participants create digital artifacts through Discovery Exercises within the modules to showcase their learning and accomplishments. The final module encourages learners to summarize and reflect on their learning journey. EmTechWIKI ( http://suny.edu/emtech ) has been built to complement the MOOC. It is a socially-curated discovery engine to discover tools, tutorials, and resources such as audio, video, blogs, social networking, simulations, and more. The WIKI can be used as a stand-alone resource, or it can be used together with #EmTechMOOC. Anyone is welcome to add or edit WIKI resources. #EmTechMOOC is not a traditional MOOC. Instead of providing content-heavy information, this course guides participants through discovery-based learning that is under the control of the learner. Learners are prompted to locate and explore new resources and tools from the growing EmTechWIKI collection and the Internet to help meet their personally identified objectives. Participants reflect on and share their learning and discoveries through the creation of a public ePortfolio or a personal learning journal that is constructed through the module exercises. Complete the course requirements to earn a Coursera Certificate of Completion and a digital badge. SUNY affiliates may earn badges and a Coursera Certificate with no fees to enroll.

Developing FPGA-accelerated cloud applications with SDAccel: Practice
  • Level Professional
  • المدة 13 ساعات hours
  • الطبع بواسطة Politecnico di Milano
  • Offered by

عن

This course is for anyone passionate about learning how to develop FPGA-accelerated applications with SDAccel! The more general purpose you are, the more flexible you are and the more kinds of programs and algorithms you can execute on your underlying computing infrastructure. All of this is terrific, but there is no free food and this is happening, quite often, by losing in efficiency. This course will present several scenarios where the workloads require more performance than can be obtained even by using the fastest CPUs. This scenario is turning cloud and data center architectures toward accelerated computing. Within this course, we are going to show you how to gain benefits by using Xilinx SDAccel to program Amazon EC2 F1 instances. We are going to do this through a working example of an algorithm used in computational biology. The huge amount of data the algorithms need to process and their complexity raised the problem of increasing the amount of computational power needed to perform the computation. In this scenario, hardware accelerators revealed to be effective in achieving a speed-up in the computation while, at the same time, saving power consumption. Among the algorithms used in computational biology, the Smith-Waterman algorithm is a dynamic programming algorithm, guaranteed to find the optimal local alignment between two strings that could be nucleotides or proteins. In the following classes, we present an analysis and successive FPGA-based hardware acceleration of the Smith-Waterman algorithm used to perform pairwise alignment of DNA sequences. Within this context, this course is focusing on distributed, heterogeneous cloud infrastructures, providing you details on how to use Xilinx SDAccel, through working examples, to bring your solutions to life by using the Amazon EC2 F1 instances.
