PyData London 2018 Conference Experience Report
Over the last few days I attended PyData London 2018 and wanted to share my experience. The PyData series of conferences aim to bring together users and developers of data analysis tools to share ideas and learn from each other. I presented a talk on building a recommendation with Python and Neo4j at the 2016 version but didn't attend last year.
The organisers said there were ~ 550 attendees spread over 1 day of tutorials and 2 days of talks. From what I could tell most attendees were Data Scientists so I was in the minority as a Software Developer.
Text Analysis using Tensorflow is the (new) hotness.
Everything else seems to centre around scikit-learn's API.
The on site childcare the conference provided was a great idea. Hopefully that will catch on at other conferences.
This is a great conference for learning how to apply technology to solve data problems.
There were a lot of talks so I'll just give a shoutout to a few of my favourite ones.
Gilbert François Duivesteijn's tutorial about tagging his team's Slack messages was very interesting and something that I hadn't thought about before. Gilbert's team have a channel where they indicate if they're working from home, off sick, at a client meeting, etc and he wanted to automatically classify these messages. It was mostly standard scikit-learn stuff except Gilbert wrote his own tokenizer because people often don't punctuate Slack messages properly and this was messing up the classifier.
After getting an introduction to text analysis by Gilbert I was hoping to attend Kajal Puri's talk about building text classification models, but that one was cancelled. At the last minute Vincent D. Warmerdam stepped in and did a mini tutorial showing how to use the pomegranate library to do probabilistic modelling. It was very cool but I'm not sure that I have a problem to use it on at the moment.
In the afternoon I attended a session on Network Science with NetworkX run by Mridul Seth which used the Game of Thrones dataset - the exact same one that we've been using in our network science training sessions, so I was quite excited about that. The room was absolutely packed for this one and most people hadn't done anything with graphs yet based on a show of hands at the beginning of the session. Most of the session was spent exploring the changing influence of Game of Thrones characters over the different books. I'm currently working on a NetworkX API for Neo4j Graph Algorithms so if you like NetworkX and want to try out Neo4j take a look at the neo4j-graph-analytics/networkx-neo4j repository and let me know what you think.
Theo Windebank spoke about how the BBC are using semantic web and linked data technologies to build a content graph of the data they have inside the BBC. There was an interesting discussion about why these technologies haven't taken off as they were expected to, and Theo observed that companies probably aren't going to open up all their data but that the tools are still useful for making sense of data inside an organisation.
Mike Walmsley explained how the Zooniverse are using a combination of deep learning and humans to help label galaxies. This is a technique called Active Learning, which I first came across when playing around with the dedupe library.
I also watched Alistair Lynn's talk about A/B testing in which he talked through his experience A/B testing features thread.com. My main take away was that it's much easier to manage multiple tests if you assign users into buckets and assign the control or test based on the bucket rather than dealing with users individually. He also emphasised the need to be aware of our own tendency to confirmation bias when looking at test results.
Thomas Huijskens gave a great overview of the different ways that we can select features for our machine learning models. Apart from scikit-learn he suggested using mlxtend and skggm to help with this process. Now I need to enter some Kaggle competitions so I can give them a try!
Sunday opened with a keynote by Emmanuelle Gouillart about her experience working on scikit-image and encouraged others to get involved with open source science. There was also an excellent section on the importance of well written documentation to help get people ramped up on your project. Emmanuelle also thanked the PyData organisers for having onsite childcare, without which she may have been unable to attend.
As one of my side projects I'm trying to work out how to parse ingredient names from recipes and I'm not sure where to start, so I was quite happy to attend a talk by Carsten van Weelden where he showed how to use Tensorflow to solve a similar problem. Carsten's team are pulling job titles and company names out of resumes using Recurrent Neural Networks and I think I now know enough to get started with my problem. The slides from this talk were very helpful.
Adam Hill presented Searching for Shady Patterns: Shining a light on UK corporate ownership, in which he showed how DataKind and Global Witness used Neo4j to find leads for investigative journalism to expose corrupt practices from the corporate ownership dataset. Adam presented his early work on this project at the Neo4j London Meetup in March 2017 so it was really cool to see how far it's come along.
I also attended Aileen Nielsen's talk about fairness and inclusion in our work. Aileen went through many different examples of how unconscious bias can creep into algorithms if we're not careful. It reminded me of a book I recently read - Weapons of Math Destruction: How Big Data Increases Inequality and Threatens Democracy - which was actually referenced towards the end of the talk.
Overall it was a really enjoyable conference and I'm looking forward to the 2019 version! If you can't wait that long there's always PyData Berlin which is on 6-8 July 2018.
I'm a Developer Relations Engineer for Neo4j, the world's leading graph database.

Concentrate on it, cash-starved America. An individual could pocket some extra coin and join the 'Bald is Beautiful' fraction.
Binary options are not controlled by Wall Street – yet. Provide a nice alternative for many people types of investments. The training curve is slight for binary answers. You just need a simple binary options course that could have you up and running right away.
The issue is that even though you have investments and assets that enable you to get a good return on investment ('ROI'), chances would be rates are not high enough to cover the interest levels (caused by loans, mortgages, etc.). A simple calculation can be done this route. Most credit card loans are as high as 12%. Can your assets and investments top that 12% every year without give in? Even the most experienced hedge fundsa cannot promise you that can.
The waiting period to determine if you're a hefty winner is probably longer when compared with horse race, but a lot. In a month on two, if the stock doesn't go way up, you lose your whole investment option. Just tear up your ticket. You picked improper horse.

Sérgio Soares da Silva, mais conhecido como Sérgio Soares (São Paulo, 11 de janeiro de 1967) é um treinador e ex-futebolista brasileiro que atuava como meio-campista. Atualmente está sem clube.

Carreira como jogador
Atuou no final dos anos 1980, no Juventus-SP, depois teve passagens por diversos times.

Em 1996, foi Campeão Paulista atuando pelo fantástico time do Palmeiras com mais de 100 gols no estadual, no qual era reserva de Flávio Conceição.

Carreira como treinador

Início no Santo André
Depois de pendurar as chuteiras no inicio de 2004, pelo Santo André, seguiu o caminho na comissão técnica do clube, e logo em seus primeiros messes de experiência, conseguiu fazer parte da maior conquista do clube do grande ABC até hoje.

Após isso foi efetivado no comando da equipe, já que o então técnico da equipe na época foi para o maior adversário do Santo André, o São Caetano. Ficou no clube durante um ano e meio, tendo conseguido um 4º Lugar no Campeonato Paulista, uma eliminação na fase de grupos na Copa Libertadores da América, e uma eliminação na segunda fase do Campeonato Brasileiro Série B no ano de 2005.

Juventus, Grêmio Barueri e retorno ao Santo André
Em 2006, após breve passagem pelo Juventus, foi contratado pelo crescente Grêmio Barueri onde ficou até o 1º semestre de 2007. Até que no mesmo ano teve a sua segunda passagem pelo Santo André, essa no entanto decepcionante acabando que quase no rebaixamento da equipe para a terceira divisão nacional.

Retorno à Juventus e terceira passagem pelo Santo André
No primeiro semestre de 2008, acertou com o Juventus, entrou no lugar do Marcio Bittencourt que foi para o Noroeste, saindo em Fevereiro, após uma derrota para o Coruripe pela Copa do Brasil. Até que surge outra oportunidade no Santo André, agora em sua terceira passagem no clube foi um dos principais responsáveis pelo acesso da equipe a elite do futebol brasileiro.

Ponte Preta, São Caetano, Paraná e quarta passagem pelo Santo André
No começo de 2009, assinou com a Ponte Preta, clube aonde ficou cerca de 3 meses. Depois foi para o São Caetano mas não se adaptou com o clube, até pelo fato de ter uma história em seu principal rival. Após sua rápida saída do clube do grande ABC, acertou com o Paraná Clube onde conseguiu ter um bom aproveitamento. E então no dia 7 de setembro, tem sua volta ao Santo André confirmada, assim sendo sua quarta passagem. Em 2010, comandou o time vice campeão paulista, mas não conseguiu repetir o mesmo sucesso no Campeonato Brasileiro da Série B e pediu demissão após derrota para a Portuguesa no dia 21 de setembro, encerrando assim sua quarta passagem pelo Santo André.

Atlético Paranaense
Em outubro de 2010, assinou com o Atlético Paranaense.Fazendo um grande trabalho brigando com o Grêmio até a ultima rodada ficando em 5º lugar no Brasileiro. No Paranaense fez 6 jogos e pediu demissão em 3 de Fevereiro de 2011.

Retorno ao Grêmio Barueri
No dia 12 de maio de 2011, foi anunciado como novo técnico para levantar o agora Grêmio Barueri, ex-Grêmio Prudente, para recolocar o clube na elite do Brasileiro e do Paulista.

No dia 1 de agosto de 2011, fazendo um trabalho de reestruturação no elenco do Grêmio Barueri, o time teve oscilações dentro da Série B do Brasileiro, desta forma a diretoria não teve a paciência devida e demitiu o treinador que semana atrás havia recebido uma proposta do Goiás, sendo que Sérgio Soares decidiu cumprir seu contrato e continuar no clube.
Posteriormente assumiu o comando do Cerezo Osaka, do Japão.

Avaí
Após a demissão do então técnico do  Argel Fucks no dia 3 de dezembro de 2012, o clube precisava o quanto antes anunciar o seu novo treinador para a próxima temporada. Foi então que, dias depois mais precisamente no dia 6 de dezembro de 2012, foi anunciado a contratação de Sérgio Soares. Em 10 partidas no comando do Avaí, todas pelo Campeonato Catarinense, Sérgio obteve 3 vitórias, 3 empates e 4 derrotas, sendo a última derrota para o Atlético de Ibirama, que chegou a estar vencendo de 3 x 1 e sofreu a virada por 4 x 3, o que levou posteriormente a um acordo com a diretoria do clube para deixar o comando da equipe.

Ceará
Após a demissão do técnico Sérgio Guedes, Sérgio Soares assumiu o .

Sérgio assumiu o Ceará na 17ª rodada do Campeonato Brasileiro Série B de 2013. Estreando com vitória de 2 x 0 sobre o Guaratinguetá e terminando o campeonato na 7ª colocação com 59 pontos ganhos, apenas 1 ponto de diferença do 4º colocado Figueirense. O primeiro título de Sérgio com o Ceará foi a Copa dos Campeões Cearenses de 2014, quando venceu o Barbalha por 2 x 0.

Pela Copa do Nordeste de 2014 levou sua equipe até as finais da competição, mas ficou com o vice-campeonato ao perder fora por 2x0 e empatar em casa por 1x1 com o Sport, deixando o título nas mãos da equipe pernambucana.

No Campeonato Cearense, obteve uma bela campanha com 7 vitórias, 6 empates e uma derrota. Consagrando-se campeão cearense ao empatar com o Fortaleza nos jogos finais por dois placares iguais de 0–0. Dando o título de tetra-campeão ao Ceará Sporting Club.

Chegou às quartas-de-final caindo para o Palmeiras em jogo único e terminou o campeonato em 6º lugar. A boa campanha chamou a atenção do Ceará que o contratou logo após o fim do Paulistão.

Retorno ao Ceará
Sérgio Soares acertou o retorno para o , porém, só assumiu oficialmente no dia 19 de abril de 2016, assim, como prometido, que ele iria treinar o São Bernardo até o jogo diante o Palmeiras, realizado dia 18 de abril, onde o Palmeiras venceu por 2 a 0.

Após novamente não ter conseguido o acesso para a Série A, Sérgio Soares foi comunicado que não teria o contrato renovado.

Quinta passagem pelo Santo André
No dia 27 de fevereiro de 2017, Sérgio Soares foi contratado pelo , para se reabilitar no campeonato Paulista. O treinador cumpriu a meta do clube em 2017, tendo livrado a equipe do rebaixamento no estadual e disputado com o Ituano o Troféu de Campeão do Interior.

Goiás
Acertou com o  para treinar até o final de 2017. Em 27 de maio, acabou sendo demitido após dezenove dias de trabalho e apenas quatro jogos com dois empates e duas derrotas, com um aproveitamento de 16,6%.

Sexta passagem pelo Santo André
Em outubro de 2017, a diretoria do Santo André anunciou que Sérgio Soares será o técnico da equipe no Paulistão do próximo ano. Essa será a quinta passagem do treinador pelo Ramalhão. Sérgio Soares possui um grande histórico vitorioso a frente do clube paulista, tendo participado da comissão técnica da equipe nos anos de 2004/2005, ano em que a equipe do ABC Paulista se tornou Campeã da Copa do Brasil.

Londrina

Segunda passagem pelo São Bernardo
Sérgio Soares foi confirmado como novo treinador do São Bernardo, para que ele possa tirar o Bernô da lanterna. Sendo a última cartada da direção do São Bernardo e isso aconteceu, Sérgio pegou um barco já todo furado e conseguiu tirar o time da zona de descenso faltando 2 rodadas para o fim da Série A2 de 2019 e livrou o time da queda para a Série A3, sendo mais uma vez o "salvador da pátria" na história do Tigre.

ABC
Foi anunciado em 15 de maio de 2019 como novo treinador do ABC.

Ferroviária
Em 17 de janeiro de 2020, foi anunciado como novo treinador da Ferroviária de Araraquara, após a demissão de Marcelo Vilar.

Terceira passagem pela Juventus
Em janeiro de 2021, assumiu o comando da Juventus. Foi demitido em 4 de maio, após duas derrotas seguidas e queda de rendimento na série A2 do Campeonato Paulista.

Scalable Data Science and Deep Learning with H2O from odsc
The era of Big Data has passed, and the era of sensory overload – that is, the proliferation of sensor data – is upon us. The challenge today is how to create the next generation of business and consumer applications that transform how we interact with sensors themselves. Applications need to learn from every user interaction and data point and predict what can happen next. The future depends on Machine Learning, as much as it depends on the data itself, to change the way we interact with these systems.
In this talk, we explain H2O's scalable distributed in-memory math architecture and its design principles. The platform was built alongside (and on top of) both Hadoop and Spark clusters and includes interfaces for R, Python, Scala, Java, JavaScript and JSON, along with its interactive graphical Flow interface that make it easier for non-engineers to stitch together complete analytic workflows. We outline the implementation of distributed machine learning algorithms such as Elastic Net, Random Forest, Gradient Boosting and Deep Learning. We will present a broad range of use cases and live demos that include world-record deep learning models, anomaly detection tools and approaches for Kaggle data science competitions. We also demonstrate the applicability of H2O in enterprise environments for real-world customer production use cases. By the end of this presentation, you will know how to create your own machine learning workflows on your data using R, Python (iPython Notebooks) or the Flow GUI.
Arno is the Chief Architect of H2O, a distributed and scalable open-source
machine learning platform. He is also the main author of H2O's Deep Learning.
Before joining H2O, Arno was a founding Senior MTS at Skytree where he designed
and implemented high-performance machine learning algorithms. He has over a
decade of experience in HPC with C++/MPI and had access to the world's largest
supercomputers as a Staff Scientist at SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory
where he participated in US DOE scientific computing initiatives and
collaborated with CERN on next-generation particle accelerators.
Arno holds a PhD and Masters summa cum laude in Physics from ETH Zurich,
Switzerland. He has authored dozens of scientific papers and is a sought-after
conference speaker. Arno was named "2014 Big Data All-Star" by Fortune
Magazine. Follow him on Twitter: @ArnoCandel.

Pirie K., Peto R., Green J., Reeves GK., Beral V., Million Women Study Collaborators None.
To assess directly the effects of various risk factors on lung cancer incidence among never smokers, large prospective studies are needed. In a cohort of 1.2 million UK women without prior cancer, half (634,039) reported that they had never smoked. Mean age at recruitment was 55 (SD5) years, and during 14 (SD3) years of follow-up, 0.2% (1,469) of these never smokers developed lung cancer. Cox regression was used to estimate relative risks (RRs) of lung cancer for 34 potential risk factors, of which 31 were nonsignificant (p > 0.05). The remaining three risk factors were associated with a significantly increased incidence of lung cancer in never smokers: non-white vs. white ethnicity (RR = 2.34, 95% CI 1.55-3.52, p < 0.001), asthma requiring treatment vs. not (RR = 1.32, 1.10-1.58, p = 0.003) and taller stature (height ≥ 165 cm vs. <160 cm: RR = 1.16, 1.03-1.32, p = 0.02). There was little association with other sociodemographic, anthropometric or hormonal factors, or with dietary intakes of meat, fish, fruit, vegetables and fiber. The findings were not materially affected by restricting the analyses to adenocarcinomas, the most common histological type among never smokers.

It is easy to fall into the trap that all of those tasty and unhealthy foods set. Oftentimes, the worst foods for people seem to be the ones that taste the best. When you have those foods on hand, it can be quite easy to choose them over healthier alternatives. The best way to make sure you don't fall for the trickery of those tempting foods is to give them nowhere to reside. Remove those foods from your life, and you will not have the temptation to eat them.
The first thing you will want to do is remove all of the junk food items that you have in your home. This is not the time to binge on all of the foods in order to remove them either. You can give the food away or throw it away. It doesn't matter. The important thing is that you remove them from your cupboards, pantries and refrigerators. When you don't have them in the house, you can't eat them. It's much easier for a person to reach for a bag of potato chips when they are a few feet away in the kitchen than it is for someone to get up, drive to the store and purchase them.
You will want to replace all of that missing food in your house, but you have to make sure that you are buying healthy. Vegetables, fruits and lean meats are going to be the most important things to buy. Stock up on them. However, you will still want to have some types of snack food around. The key is making sure that the snack foods are also healthy. Dried fruit that doesn't have any additional sugar in it is one option. You can also choose some healthy nuts, such as almonds to have around the house. Make sure that you also have some fresh fruit handy. Do not buy the fruit in a can because it is often in heavy syrup, which is loaded with sugar.
The home is not the only place where people snack on unhealthy foods. Quite a few people have a stash of snacks at work or even in the car. You need to make sure that you replace these little stashes with a healthier alternative. Again, nuts are a good option. A healthy soup for lunch should be enough to fill you through the day, as long as you had a good and filling breakfast.
You will find that once you are able to remove these tempting foods from your home and work, they aren't going to have power over you. If you have a spouse or children, who feel they need to have that unhealthy food around, it can make this process more difficult. However, with some little changes to their diet and by offering healthy snacks in place of the junk, you should be able to get everyone in the family on board for the change.

"I love Marc because he has a good heart. It is innate in him. And I also love how much he is grateful for family and friends. So his vows really was very meaningful and heartfelt. Last year, Lola Mary died. She was 96. We really, really, wanted her to be in our wedding. That's why he really got teary-eyed on that part. Marc's vow is a vow of a good man and a good partner. I really know he will be there for me......"
".....Lastly, bakit mas madalas na groom ang umiiyak sa vows? Hehe!"

After attending Level 1 Meditation, I was able to heal the allergies that were all over my body within one day by passing colors every hour. By using Alpha Mudra, I got 85%in my exams, exactly the marks which I had visualized using Alpha. I have also developed good communication skills, and I am able to control my anger to a great extent and my relationship with people has also greatly improved.

Q: Get user agent in android wear Is there any way to get the user agent or model of the android wear programatically?
Something like this

Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.4; Moto 360 Build/KNX01S)
  AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) WIB/0.9.8 Mobile Safari/537.36

Thanks

A: You may want to try using UseragentAPI which can be used in device detection, increased accuracy and new useragent types. This can be used to detect useragent types for wearables.
For successful HTTP requests, an example response would be:
{
    "data": {
        "ua_type": "Desktop",
        "os_name": "Linux",
        "browser_name": "Chrome",
        "browser_version": "58.0.3029.110",
        "engine_name": "WebKit",
        "engine_version": "537.36"
    }
}

If you're only looking for the Android Wear model, this suggested solution which works perfectly on watch might also help.

Although the South Fork American flows through the tiny gold rush era towns of Coloma and Lotus, there is enough of a tourist industry to support a wide range of places to stay. Car camping options are plentiful so bring your heaviest tent. Nearby Placerville and Auburn are also options. The South Fork American is also just about 45 min from Sacramento.
Camp Lotus: One of the area's oldest campgrounds–still family-owned and operated with lots of personality. This is no wilderness getaway, but the grounds are pretty, green, and welcoming. Some sites are more isolated than others so you might not be cheek-by-jowl with your neighbors. Hot showers, camp store, river access. Private boaters can use Camp Lotus as a put-in/take out spot and the popular kayaking play spot at Barking Dog rapid is just downstream. People rafting with a commercial outfitter are minutes away from their meet-spot. (530) 622-8672.
Camping near the South Fork is usually quite plush. Camp Lotus has running water, hot showers, grassy lawns, riverside campsites, and volleyball nets. Grab some marshmallows, graham crackers, and Hershey's bars and enjoy the most comfortable camping imaginable!
Cabins at Camp Lotus: Lotus, (530) 622-8672. In addition to camp sites, Camp Lotus offers swankier lodging in their private American River Cabins and Yuba River Cabin. The Yuba River Cabin features a full kitchen, wood burning stove, and private yard. The smaller American River Cabins are perfect for couples.
Sierra Nevada House: Coloma, (530) 626-8096.
This historic complex has six newly rooms. Each have a private bath and access to the outdoor veranda with views of the Coloma-Lotus river valley. The Sierra Nevada House also has a restaurant and bar downstairs for lunch or dinner. Sometimes during the summer there are special events like Salsa dancing lessons mid-week.
Coloma Country Inn Bed & Breakfast: Coloma, (530) 622-6919. The Coloma Country Inn is located smack-dab in the middle of the Gold Discovery State Hisotric Park in Coloma–the literal heart of the California Gold Rush. This is a great place to stay if you want a little plushness and luxury after a day on the river.
Albert Shafsky House Bed & Breakfast: Placerville, (530) 642-2776. Placerville's Historic District is about 20 minutes from the South Fork and home to the 1902 Albert Shafsky House. The three swanky guest rooms are each a world away from wet neoprene, gritty sandals, and the smell of sunscreen. Tasty breakfast is included.
The Historic Cary House Hotel: Placerville, (530) 622-4271. If doilies and B&B's aren't really your thing but you still want a bed and a nice pillow, check out The Cary House on Placerville's historic Main Street. Guest rooms and suites all feature private baths, TV, telephone, and heating and air conditioning. No two rooms are the same at the Cary House and it is the perfect venue for your stay in the gold country.
Best Western Placerville Inn: Placerville, (800) 854-9100.
Courtyard by Marriott in Folsom: Folsom, 916-984-7624.

Really interesting...
Jason Clements | MD, USA | 10/15/2001
"I like all kinds of music, but Tool is my favorite band by far. When I heard of this string tribute, I pre-ordered it with high hopes. Well, after listening to it today, I think it's pretty good. It is a *very* good interpretation of Tool's songs (if you ask me), and it is a good listen. It certainly gives all the songs a new ring to them.However, I think they may have interpreted Tool's obscurity a little too closely in some cases. Sometimes it almost seems like the song is unbalanced. Additionally, some songs seem a bit choppy, but that again may be more of the interpretation.There's no doubt that the creators of Third Eye Open had a challenge, and while this album can be a little awkward at times, overall it is interesting and I'm sure one of those things that grows on you. I wouldn't recommend it to the typical metal-head who is looking for intense guitar riffs and tortured vocals, but if you enjoy the intellectual qualities of Tool's music and expressions, you may find Third Eye Open an entrancing listen, as it puts those intellectual qualities under a whole new light.Oh, and Aenema could have done without the "hey" sounds. :)"
Very interesting, but with little lasting appeal
eac666 | Plano, TX United States | 01/03/2002
"This is quite an interesting take on the music of Tool. These songs were never written for strings, but it seems they can be adapted at least somewhat well. And it's an honest effort, but it leaves a lot to be desired.The higher points of the CD include the tense and dramatic harmonies of "Sober" as well as the chaotic rendition of "Push It". Sometimes these songs seem to have been written with strings in mind (but who really knows; it's Tool).Unfortunately the album does have some shortcomings, the worst of which is the poor translation of Maynard's vocals to string. I understand that violin and voice are two different things, but it seems like most of the vocal dynamics that are so prevalent in Tool songs are lacking in these string-overs.Those looking for a new definition of Tool probably won't find it here. This is a very good idea, but it never seems to make it all the way off of the page. Worth listening to, but there's not enough present for it to steal the stage."
Oddly Addictive
Jennifer Counts | Houston, TX United States | 10/23/2001
"Tool is one of my favorite bands, so I decided I had to have this CD. I bought it primarily out of curiosity, wanting to see how Tool songs work as string arrangements. I think the musicians did a very good job interpreting Tool's music. The string arrangements give the songs a new feel. It brings a more melancholy note to some of the songs. The album has its awkward moments, but I think that is simply a problem of strings trying to duplicate a rock band--it doesn't always work as well as one might hope. However, these moments are far outweighed by the truly beautiful music that comprises the rest of the album. Tool's music is artistically strong enough that it translates well most of the time. I thought it a bit odd that they included "Ticks and Leeches", since that song is so percussion-dominated, but the arrangement was actually interesting, if for the most part unrecognizable. I would have like to see more from "Lateralus" on the CD, and maybe not so much from "Opiate", since the "Lateralus" work is more intellectually and musically complex than that from "Opiate". However, this is only a very minor gripe. On the whole, this album is a really interesting listen that has proven to be addictive."
Ausar | Pennsylvania | 02/26/2005
"Its just a nice album. There are imperfections that sometimes make me want to figure out how to write music myself so i can correct it, but oh well. This and many of the other "Strings Tributes To..." albums are just perfect background music at work or when I'm cleaning the house, whenever I want a softer, subtler version of some favorites.
I also suggest the Strings Tribute To Led Zeppelin, Metalica (even though i'm not a big fan of them), Nine Inch Nails, The Cure, Tori Amos, Pearl Jam, Marilyn Manson, and Nirvana. I don't have the Strings...A Perfect Circle yet, but I am positive that I will like.
They're all just as good, and fit a very specific mood that I find hard to describe."
Rich, beautiful, visceral, Tool.
Joshua Chandler | Springfield, MO USA | 04/10/2006
"Most people who encounter the String Tribute to Tool (also referred to as Third Eye Open) will be crossover fans from Tool's original work, as opposed to fans of experimental string quartet music seeking out Tool for the first time (although this is theoretically possible). And as this CD is essentally a tribute to Tool, this makes sense, and it is not incorrect to want to judge this album in light of Tool's original recordings, which have a vastly different texture of sound. Thus, those seeking complete sonic replicants of the originals are bound to be disappointed, but so shall those who are looking for exploratory arrangements that obliterate much or all of the initial structure of Tool's songs in favor of even more abstraction. Rather, this album lays somewhere in between.
With the powerful opener "Sober", it's hard to see how anyone could discredit this CD. Each instrument really lays into the arrangement like a hot knife into butter. As the cello and bass come in on the song's ubiquitous bass root with a viola adding eerie structure behind, an articulate violin comes in to match Adam Jones' original guitar part with its own frenetic melody. The song continues to be a faithful, creative, and sonically rich interpretation of the original "Sober" for each second after and ends with a sense of true accomplishment, both for the listener and (surely) for the performers.
What fascinates me the most about this CD, though, is how difficult it must be to arrange small string sections to Tool's complex music and that in spite of that each of these arrangements seems to fit almost perfectly. Some songs certainly shine greater than others: the aforementioned "Sober" is one of the best, blooming with energy and sensation. "?nema" is another, featuring slight altercations and juxtapositions in the rhythm and groove as the song continues, as well as a headlong commitment to the grandiosity of the original in spite of the immense difficulty. And besides adding some new solos and phrasings throughout the songs, the performers also took time to include their interpretations of some of the original non-instrumental intros to Tool's music, as on "Intolerance" and "?nema".
While the CD waxes intense for many of the tracks in another display of faith to the original recordings, the mood here is actually somewhat diverse. My personal favorite, "Pushit", is a beautifully melancholic performance that perfectly captures the mood and intent of the original song. "Ticks and Leeches" broods quietly, spending much of its time in the interlude section of the original. Even "Hush", which one might guess would be rendered much less meaningful without lyrics, seems to have retained all of the cynical humor of the 1992 recording.
The flip side of this is that non-Tool fans are sometimes attracted to the band through this CD. While this is certainly not the rule, hearing the Tool's music in such an unusual format often allows people to judge them more objectively. Only a few years after its release, I already know a handful of people who say that they would never have listened to Tool were it not for this CD or its companion (Metamorphic, or Volume 2).
For some, this CD will take just as much of an open mind to understand as Tool's music alone does for so many others. But it is completely worth the adjustment: each interpretation is a rich, poetic blend that can stand amazingly (read: surprisingly) close to the original in musical strength."

\section{Introduction}
We theoretically consider an alternative to the well-known Loss-DiVincenzo \citep{Loss98} implementation of the $\sqrt{\text{SWAP}}$ gate in a quantum dot spin qubit system.  The exchange-coupled gate has already been realized in experiments \citep{Petta05}, but it requires an exact knowledge of the coupling, $J$, in order to precisely control the gate voltage pulse area (i.e., the integral of the applied gate voltage over the pulse time).  In a scalable system, it is inevitable that the exchange coupling will vary spatially from one pair of dots to another, and precisely characterizing every link in a large quantum dot array is likely to be impractical.  Furthermore, even in the double dot system, temporal charge noise can affect $J$, resulting in gate errors \citep{Hu06,Culcer09}.  In fact, it is widely believed that charge noise is the currently limiting dephasing mechanism in the existing semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits because of the invariable presence of random charged traps and impurities in the environment that indirectly affect the exchange coupling $J$ through the microscopic quantum confinement potentials \citep{Nguyen11}.

Our proposed implementation has the advantage of being robust against uncertainties and fluctuations in the tunnel coupling and gate voltage pulse area.  The disadvantage of our approach is that it is slower and somewhat susceptible to noise in the interdot detuning.  However, we shall show that for low-frequency noise our proposed gate is sensitive only to the actual (rare) switching events and not the random nature of the quasi-static parameters, unlike the exchange-coupled gate.  This could markedly reduce the error rate to well below the quantum error correction threshold, without the need for an exact knowledge of $J$ across the sample or carefully tuning experimental parameters to a ``sweet spot" where $J$ is insensitive to noise sources \citep{Stopa08,Li10}, both daunting tasks in a large system.  Our proposal in its idealized abstraction is not specific to a particular physical system, and is in principle applicable to any system although the physical constraints on various energy and time scales (as discussed below) at this stage of materials development may limit its immediate implementation and usefulness.  Here we simply wish to show the general principle of the proposal, and how it is complementary to the exchange gate.  For a given system, a detailed analysis including all the specifics would be in order.

\section{Adiabatic protocol}
The central idea is to use an analog to the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage (STIRAP) pulse sequence in three-level atomic systems \citep{Bergmann98}.  This analogy has recently been invoked as a means of coherently transporting electrons between dots \citep{Greentree04,Cole08}, often referred to as CTAP (Coherent Tunneling by Adiabatic Passage).  Realizing spin-dependent tunneling opens the possibility of performing two-qubit gates by this method.

We consider two electrons in the triangular triple dot shown in Fig.~\ref{fig:cnota}.  Similar arrangements have previously been fabricated \citep{Gaudreau06,Schroer07,Laird10}.  (Although we could also use a linear triple dot, we shall see later that the triangular structure is preferable so that the direct intersite Coulomb interaction energy is the same regardless of which two dots are occupied and adiabaticity is more easily satisified.)  The qubit is defined as the spin state of a single occupied dot.  Thus, dot 3 must be unoccupied when the system is in the two-qubit subspace.
\begin{figure}

  \caption{(Color online.) (a) The triple dot system with spin-dependent coupling to the auxiliary third dot. (b) Low-energy states of the triple dot.  The physical two-qubit space is shaded.  The directed curves inside the square correspond to transitions induced under the CNOT pulse sequence.  (See Fig.~\ref{fig:cnotc}.)}
\end{figure}
\begin{figure}
  \includegraphics[width=.8\columnwidth]{cnotc}
  \caption{(Color online.) Depiction of the evolution of the physical two-qubit states under the CNOT pulse sequence.}\label{fig:cnotc}
\end{figure}

The two qubit dots are coupled via the usual spin-independent tunneling, which can be tuned via the barrier height by controlling the relevant gate voltage.  The auxiliary dot is coupled to one of the qubit dots via spin-dependent couplings which are controlled independently.  We assume that the excited levels in each dot are sufficiently high that we can ignore them and focus on the lowest orbital.  We also neglect spin-orbit couplings and other small corrections that would be accounted for in a thorough analysis of a specific system.  Then all remaining two-electron states and the couplings between them are depicted in Fig.~\ref{fig:cnotb}.

One can coherently transfer the state $\binom{0}{\sigma'\sigma}$ to $\binom{\sigma}{0\,\sigma'}$ by first turning on tunneling between the dots 1 and 2, then adiabatically turning off that tunneling while adiabatically turning on the spin-$\sigma$ tunneling to the auxiliary dot 3.  (The spin-dependent tunneling may afterwards be turned off on any timescale.)  We will refer to this as a $\text{CTAP}\sigma$ pulse sequence, and the reverse sequence as $\overline{\text{CTAP}\sigma}$.  By combining such a process with a spin flip operation on dots 2 and 3, denoted as FLIP (a $\pi$-pulse) and $\overline{\text{FLIP}}$ (a $3\pi$-pulse), we construct a CNOT gate in Fig.~\ref{fig:cnotc}.  Although we have shown the intermediate state of the CTAP processes in the table, we note that the intermediate state is not actually occupied during a sufficiently adiabatic process.  During this pulse sequence, the exact values of the couplings are irrelevant.  What is important is only that they change adiabatically.

Below we consider effects of fluctuations in tunnel couplings and detunings, finite ramping times, and finite superexchange on the procedure outlined above.  We then discuss the requirements for our proposal to be applicable to a physical system.  We show that for a particular example of low-frequency noise, the adiabatic CNOT gate offers a decrease of two orders of magnitude in the error rate compared to the standard exchange gate, sufficient to reach the quantum error correction threshold.

If we label the states from 1-12 starting at state $\binom{\downarrow}{0\,\downarrow}$ and going counterclockwise around Fig.~\ref{fig:cnotb}, the (time-dependent) model Hamiltonian is
\begin{equation}
H = \left(
  \begin{array}{cccccccccccc}
    \Delta_1 & t & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & F \\
    t & \Delta_2 & t_{\downarrow} & 0 & F & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & t_{\downarrow} & 0 & F & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & F & 0 & t_{\uparrow} & 0 & 0 & 0 & J & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & F & 0 & t_{\uparrow} & \Delta_2 & t & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & t & \Delta_1 & F & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & F & \Delta_1 & t & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & t & \Delta_2 & t_{\downarrow} & 0 & F & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & J & 0 & 0 & 0 & t_{\downarrow} & 0 & F & 0 & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & F & 0 & t_{\uparrow} & 0 \\
    0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & F & 0 & t_{\uparrow} & \Delta_2 & t \\
    F & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & t & \Delta_1 \\
  \end{array}
\right)
\end{equation}
where $t$ is the tunnel coupling between qubit dots, $t_{\sigma}$ is the spin-dependent tunnel coupling to the auxiliary dot 3, $\Delta_j = E_3-E_j$ is the detuning of the auxiliary dot 3 with respect to dot $j$, $F$ is the spin-flip pulse on dots 2 and 3, and $J$ is the superexchange.  All of these parameters (and their fluctuations) are in principle independent.  In the following, though, we will assume the usual relation $J \sim t^2/U$, with $U$ an on-site Coulomb interaction.  We use $\hbar = 1$ throughout and use the maximum tunnel coupling, $t_0$, as the unit of energy.

Here nonzero $J$ introduces unwanted swapping processes that result in gate errors, which we characterize via the error rate $\epsilon = \left|1-\langle \Psi\left(\tau\right)\left|\text{CNOT}\right| \Psi\left(0\right) \rangle / \langle \Psi\left(0\right)| \Psi\left(0\right) \rangle \right|$, where $\tau$ is the duration of the pulse sequence.  To avoid these errors we must have $J\tau \ll 1$, but on the other hand, adiabaticity requires $\tau\gg 1/t_0$.  So, since we assume $J \sim t^2/U$, we must have $U\ggg t_0$.  Using the pulse sequence of Fig.~\ref{fig:pulseseq} (we explain the extra pulses below) and averaging over initial states \cite{note}, the average error rate for $U=100t_0$ in the absence of noise is $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-2}$, and to reduce errors to the quantum error correction threshold, $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-4}$, requires $U/t_0 \geq 10^3$.  Thus the gate speed, set by $t_0$, is limited by the maximum attainable value of $U$.

By design, the adiabatic CNOT gate is insensitive to the shapes and areas of the tunnel coupling pulses, as long as adiabaticity is preserved.  This is true even when the pulses are jittery.  For instance, we have checked numerically that for noise in the tunneling rates from several random telegraph sources such that the standard deviation is 2\% and the average time between jumps, $T_{\text{RTN}}$, is an order of magnitude larger than the tunneling time, $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-4}$.  If the three tunneling rates fluctuate in lockstep rather than independently, or if $T_{\text{RTN}}$ is increased, sub-threshold error rates can be maintained even for fluctuations of 15\% or more.

However, even a very small constant value of $\Delta_1$ causes the control qubit to pick up a phase $\theta$ during the CNOT sequence if it is in the $\uparrow$ state, so that the resulting gate is actually CNOT$\otimes R_2 \!\left(\theta\right)$.  We can mitigate this by adding a $\text{CTAP}\!\!\downarrow \overline{\text{CTAP}\!\!\downarrow}$ pulse sequence at the end so that the control qubit picks up the same phase regardless of its state.  Then the effect of small constant $\Delta_1$ is just to add an \emph{overall} phase to the two-qubit state and the resulting gate is $e^{i \theta}$CNOT.  In Fig.~\ref{fig:pulseseq} we show an adiabatic pulse sequence to perform this gate.  In Fig.~\ref{fig:evolution} we show the corresponding time evolution of an initial state $|\Psi\left(0\right)\rangle = |3\rangle + 2|4\rangle -|10\rangle$ to $|\Psi\left(\tau\right) \rangle =|3\rangle - |4\rangle +2 |10\rangle$ for the ideal case of $\Delta_j = 0$, $J=0$, and constant $t_0$.  For the pulse widths shown, the gate has an error rate of $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-5}$.

(Note that we neglect loss of fidelity due to decoherence \citep{Greentree04} during the CTAP pulse sequence.  This is reasonable since the coherence time is typically more than four orders of magnitude longer than the CTAP pulse duration.  Likewise, the dots should be decoupled from any quantum point contact during the pulse to avoid loss of fidelity due to measurement backaction \citep{Rech11}.)

In this case the error is $\epsilon=5\times 10^{-3}$.}
\end{figure}

In a more realistic scenario, gate errors occur when charge noise results in large or fluctuating values of $\Delta_1$ during the procedure.  (Nonzero $\Delta_2$ has an effect only through the transitory population in the intermediate states of the CTAP processes, which can be made arbitrarily small by enhancing adiabaticity.)  We have checked numerically that, in the absence of tunneling noise, $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} < 10^{-4}$ for a constant $\Delta_1/t_0 < 0.1$.  For fluctuating $\Delta_1$, we consider three cases:

(1) If $\Delta_1$ fluctuates very quickly on the timescale of the CNOT operation, we have checked numerically that a sub-threshold error rate can be maintained if the magnitude of the fluctuations is $< 0.01 t_0$.  Figure \ref{fig:fastnoise} shows detuning fluctuations of $\sim 0.02 t_0$ and 2\% tunneling noise due to 10 random-telegraph-type charge impurities with a random assortment of capture and emission rates in the range $0.01-1 t_0$.  Figure \ref{fig:fastnoiseevolution} shows time evolution (removing the overall time-dependent phase discussed above) in the presence of that noise, with $J=t^2/200t_0$.  The error rate for this case is $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-2}$, which is worse than with a faster Loss-DiVincenzo gate.  So, in this case there is no advantage in using the CTAP pulse sequence.

(2) If $\Delta_1$ fluctuates on the timescale of the CNOT operation, the phases accumulated before and after the $\overline{\text{FLIP}}$ differ and we are back to having a CNOT$\otimes R_2 \!\left(\theta\right)$ gate with $\theta$ random.  The procedure is not robust against this type of noise: In the worst case scenario of a single jump near the middle of every CNOT operation the magnitude of the fluctuations clearly must be smaller than the gate frequency.  We have verified numerically for the pulse widths shown that the fluctuations must be $< 10^{-3} t_0$ to ensure $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-4}$.  Here again, the adiabatic pulse sequence is useless if detuning noise is appreciable.

(3) If $\Delta_1$ fluctuates very slowly on the timescale of the CNOT operation, the most likely source of error is a single jump of $\Delta_1$ during the procedure, as considered in case 2.  Here, though, by assumption, $\Delta_1$ does not jump during every CNOT operation, but only rarely, so the restriction of case 2 can easily be relaxed while maintaining a sub-threshold average error rate.  This case of low-frequency noise seems to be the most relevant for experiments \citep{Fujisawa00,Jung04,Petersson10,Hofheinz06}, and this is also where the adiabatic CNOT implementation is most robust.  Here errors essentially occur only when the parameters jump, not during the long intermediate times when the parameters take random quasi-static values.  In contrast, the exchange-coupled $\sqrt{\text{SWAP}}$ gate has a high error rate during the entire time the coupling is perturbed.

To summarize, competing requirements must be met for our proposal to be useful in a physical system with nonnegligible interdot detuning noise: adiabaticity, gate time fast compared to decoherence and noise switching time, and negligible exchange pulse area. Satisfying these conditions requires $T_2, T_{\text{RTN}} \gg 1/t_0 \gg 1/U$, where the inequalities are by several orders of magnitude.  The gate speed is limited by the largest achievable $U$, which is important in keeping the exchange coupling negligible.  For a maximal $U \sim 100$ meV, corresponding to a dot size $\sim$ nm, the resultant minimal gate time is $\tau \sim 10$ ns.

As an example of the possible utility of the adiabatic approach, we take the case of quantum dots in Si with maximal tunnel coupling $t_0 \sim \mu$eV.  Assume fluctuations in $t_0$ with a standard deviation of $10\%$.  The interdot detunings may also fluctuate on the $\mu$eV scale at predominantly low frequency.  Assume an average switching time on the order of seconds \citep{Hofheinz06}, so the effect of the charge noise is to introduce quasi-static uncertainties to the parameters.  If one implements an exchange-coupled $\sqrt{\text{SWAP}}$ gate with $U \sim 10\mu$eV, the gate time is $\sim 0.1\mu$s and the error rate is $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-2}$.  On the other hand, if one implements the proposed adiabatic CNOT gate with $U \sim$ meV and $\tau \sim \mu$s, the error rate decreases to $\epsilon_{\text{avg}} \sim 10^{-4}$.  The tradeoff is that the gate time (excluding the time required for the single-qubit flips) at a given tunneling rate has increased by an order of magnitude, but the error rate is suppressed by two orders of magnitude.

In AlGaAs/GaAs quantum dots, the shorter coherence time makes this tradeoff more important.  However, given the recent observation of $T_2 \sim 100\mu$s for a singlet-triplet qubit with dynamical decoupling \citep{coherence}, it is conceivable that similar coherence times could be achieved for single-spin qubits and $10^4$ adiabatic gate operations could be performed at $100$ MHz for $t_0 \sim 100\mu$eV and $U \sim 100$ meV.  At those high tunneling rates, a sub-threshold error rate persists for typical interdot detuning fluctuations of $\sim 0.1\mu$eV \citep{Jung04} even in the worst case scenario (2) where the noise is dominated by frequency components on the order of the gate frequency.

\section{Spin-dependent tunneling}
Obviously, a key requirement of our scheme is a controllable spin-dependent tunneling mechanism.  We briefly outline here one possible realization.  Suppose the Zeeman splitting on the auxiliary dot is made different from that on the qubit dots by engineering the Lande g-factor or placing a micromagnet nearby.  Then, by detuning the auxiliary and qubit dot potential wells relative to each other, the tunneling for a given spin state can be made resonant while for the other it is strongly suppressed for large detuning.  We sketch this scenario in Fig.~\ref{fig:spindep}.  This idea has previously appeared in the context of single-shot readout of a spin state \citep{Engel04}, and a closely related scheme with photon-assisted tunneling \citep{Barret06} has been experimentally demonstrated very recently \citep{Shin10}.  Note that the detuning of the auxiliary dot potential here in the presence of a magnetic field is \emph{not} the same as the $\Delta_j$ of the previous section, which corresponds to the energy mismatch of the energy levels relevant to the desired tunneling process and is zero in Fig.~\ref{fig:spindep}.
\begin{figure}

  \caption{Possible spin-dependent tunneling scheme.}\label{fig:spindep}
\end{figure}

\section{Summary}
We have proposed an experimental procedure to perform a CNOT gate on two quantum dot spin qubits using an auxiliary third dot with controllable spin-dependent tunnel coupling.  The putative advantages of our proposed implementation are that it does not require precise control of the gate voltage pulse area or precise knowledge of the exchange coupling and thus it is robust against low-frequency noise.  For this method to work, several strict requirements must be met and, though rough estimates for Si and GaAs dots look promising, the immediate practicality of our protocol in these systems is far from certain and it is not clear whether this provides an easier path to fault-tolerant computation.  However, in light of the many candidate systems for exchange-based spin qubit quantum computation and the general nature of the proposal, we are hopeful that it will be applicable in at least one of them.  Also, materials development may make our scheme feasible for application to semiconductor quantum dot spin qubits in the future with the motivation coming from the acute need for suppressing charge noise induced decoherence in these qubits.
