The paper on Barycentric Lagrange Interpolation did a pretty good job at explaining clearly how to evaluate efficiently the polynomial.

The beginning of the article reminds me of the quote : "Every time I fire a linguist, the performance of our speech recognition system goes up." But nowadays statistical NLP systems regularly use syntactic and semantic information

Thank you for the post, I just want to add that there is some machine learning approaches that automatically estimate the mark objects. Shameless self-promotion: https://github.com/GHamrouni/Recommender it is a C libra

Africa is a large heterogeneous continent ... I'm a software developer from north Africa (Tunisia). You can find here some regular white-collar jobs. But the startups scene is nonexistent.

Very interesting. I have developed an NLP library in C++ in the past months. I will try to contribute with some features (A custom MaxEnt classifier and some text summarization algorithms).

It's worth noting that the combination of Proton-M rocket and the DM-03 booster has previously failed in 2012. This is a relatively new technology compared to the mature Soyuz rocket for example.

Some popular methods of proofs are non-constructive. For example you can take a look at the probabilistic method used by Paul Erdős and others.

Holomorphic encryption is a very interesting concept especially in a cloud setting. One could perform some operations on encrypted client data. But I don't know if it's mature enough.

Yes I think It is possible to use the library as a standalone process. It will introduce some little overhead. More importantly the code will be harder to debug and maintain.

Thanks, it's not as complete as Shark. But it is nonetheless very interesting.

The library supports some very useful algorithms. Both supervised and unsupervised ones. But I can't use it for our commercial non GPL projects.

Hmm, interesting ... but how you calculate the weights ? do you use the KL-divergence method.

Unfortunately the vast majority of scalable SVM implementations are only for non commercial use.
