“I had the pleasure of taking Mohammad's Introduction to Data Science in R at Stanford Continuing Studies. Mohammad did an amazing job at explaining the foundations of what data science is as well as doing live coding examples (which I really appreciated). He made everything very easy and clear to understand and answered all questions in class and responded quickly when we messaged him. Mohammad is very passionate about data science as well as teaching and this shows through his dedication and hard work in making sure that everyone in the class understood the concepts. I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and would recommend everyone with an interest in learning about data science to take his class!”

Clustering in the Face of Fast Changing Streams
SIAM International Conference on Data Mining (SDM 2016)
Clustering is arguably the most important primitive for data mining, finding use as a subroutine in many higher-order algorithms. In recent years, the community has redirected its attention from the batch case to the online case. This need to support online clustering is engendered by the proliferation of cheap ubiquitous sensors that continuously monitor various aspects of our world, from heartbeats as we exercise to the number of mosquitoes visiting a well in a village in Ethiopia.

Clustering is arguably the most important primitive for data mining, finding use as a subroutine in many higher-order algorithms. In recent years, the community has redirected its attention from the batch case to the online case. This need to support online clustering is engendered by the proliferation of cheap ubiquitous sensors that continuously monitor various aspects of our world, from heartbeats as we exercise to the number of mosquitoes visiting a well in a village in Ethiopia. In this work, we argue that current online clustering solutions offer a room for improvement. To some degree they all have at least one of the following shortcomings: they are parameter-laden, only defined for certain distance functions, sensitive to outliers, and/or they are approximate. This last point requires clarification; in some sense almost all clustering algorithms are approximate. For example, in general, k-means only approximately optimizes its objective function. However, streaming versions of the k-means algorithm are further approximating this approximation, potentially leading to very poor solutions. In this work, we introduce an algorithm that mitigates these flaws. It is parameter-lite, defined for any distance function, insensitive to outliers and produces the same output as the batch version of the algorithm. We demonstrate the utility and effectiveness of our ideas with case studies in entomology, cardiology and biological audio processing.

It's great that Julian Assange is finally free. I'll try to do a podcast with him.
