From vnbang2003 at gmail.com Mon Sep 4 12:40:50 2017 From: vnbang2003 at gmail.com (vijay kumar) Date: Mon, 4 Sep 2017 22:10:50 +0530 Subject: [Chennaipy] PythonMonth 2017 (September 8 - October 8) Message-ID: Hi All, PythonMonth is just 4 days away! Last year we organized 100+ workshops and hope to conduct more workshops this year. We received feedback from many colleges that we do not provide certificates for participants and students were not happy about that. We have always resisted ourselves from getting into certificate distribution but this year we want to provide softcopy of certificates to each participant through e-mail and see how that works out. The colleges can take care of printing them if they require hardcopy since we do not have fund for the same. Hope this encourages colleges to come forward and organize workshops. Request everyone to spread the word and connect PythonExpress to more and more colleges. Please reach us @ contact at pythonexpress.in for any queries.

SSN Engineering college provided them the TTS system for Tamil. Few months ago, filed a RTI to get the source and install it in local systems https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2017/03/10/filed-a-rti-to-get-info-on-tamil-tts-by-iitm-and-ssn/ They replied promptly and they told that all their TTS systems are already open source. :-) IITM released it as OpenSource here - https://www.iitm.ac.in/donlab/tts/voices.php After following up with IITM team in few mail threads, On August 12, 2017, Myself, Mohan and Padmakumar visited IITM Donlab. Prof Hema and Anju Thomas welcomed us. We spent an entire day, trying to build the entire TTS system. As the documentation was suitable for the preconfigured systems there, we can not proceed further. In the evening, we discussed and found that we dont need to build the entire system. They have already providing voice model files for festival. We have just to download them and compile them to make them work with festival. we can download the voice models from https://www.iitm.ac.in/donlab/tts/voices.php This seems easier for us. Then, we were trying to compile the voice models. Again, with lesser documentation, we can not proceed much. On Sep 15, Invited mohan to my home to work on this. We spent a day with no much result. Today, I mailed Anju of IITM and asked for help. Viola. We have compiled it already and we need to know where the tts script is. It really works well. Here is the demo - https://soundcloud.com/shrinivasan/tamil-tts-demo Full Details of the installation script - https://goinggnu.wordpress.com/2017/09/20/how-to-compile-tamil-tts-engine-from-source/ Automated all the installation and make a single script to do all the magics - https://github.com/tshrinivasan/tamil-tts-install There are still few improvements needed. Currently it reads upto empty line. Have to make to read entire page or chapter. Will work on this. Tons of thanks for IITM team, SSN team, Prof Hema, Anju, Mohan, Padmakumar for all their great support on this. -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get Free Tamil Ebooks for Android, iOS, Kindle, Computer : http://FreeTamilEbooks.com -- Regards, T.Shrinivasan My Life with GNU/Linux : http://goinggnu.wordpress.com Free E-Magazine on Free Open Source Software in Tamil : http://kaniyam.com Get Free Tamil Ebooks for Android, iOS, Kindle, Computer : http://FreeTamilEbooks.com From vijaykumar at bravegnu.org Wed Sep 20 06:40:22 2017 From: vijaykumar at bravegnu.org (Vijay Kumar) Date: Wed, 20 Sep 2017 16:10:22 +0530 Subject: [Chennaipy] September Meetup (RSVP Required) Message-ID: <2c4c370cfc0712265f68c94a7a498b5c.squirrel@gator3315.hostgator.com> # August Meetup ## Date & Time * 23rd September (Saturday) * 3:00pm to 6:00pm ## Venue IMSc, Ramanujan Auditorium, C.I.T Campus, 4th Cross Street, Tharamani, Chennai Location map: http://www.google.com/maps?q=12.994337,80.247170 ## Schedule * Introduction (15 min) * Redis PubSub by Rohini (20 min) * Concurrency vs Parallelism by Naren (20 min) * Networking Tea Break (30 min) * Possibilities in the Land of 1s and 0s by Shrayas (20 min) * Lightning Talks (15 min) * Discussions (30 min) Only the talk titles are included here, for the sake of brevity.

Topic: Attacking and Defending Machine Learning Classifiers Description: For certain tasks from Computer Vision, Speech and Natural Language Understanding, Machine Learning algorithms achieve near-human accuracies. Researchers have discovered that it is possible to produce examples that can fool these ML classifiers. Such examples are called "adversarial examples".

About the "some attendee's" feed back : "Talks were prepared just out from learning and didn't arise from experience/usage/real use-cases", IMHO, no one has to be experienced to give a talk on stage. Mostly when people learn something new, they can come forward and spread the knowledge about it. If any one of the person in the audience has a single take away from the talk, its profit. If all the talks should "arise from experience/usage", everyone should be a keynote speaker with 10+ years of experience. These are just my thoughts.

I wasn't talking about me :), Just trying to tell we may not know how the newcomers will take it if we post feedbacks like this publicly. Imagine a new guy who hasn't talked before reads this thread, especially this line : "Talks were prepared just out from learning and *didn't arise from experience/usage*/real use-cases". They would think that only experienced people and people who uses it daily can give talks. That thought might stop them from submitting for a CFP. My previous email is just my opinion on that "some attendee's" feedback. We should try making the feedbacks private to the speaker, It would be more constructive and help them.

Google forms is IMO the simplest form of getting feedback from the attendees. Let's give this at shot at Oct's meetup.

This is understandable. That was the whole purpose of keeping the talks crisp and to 20 minutes. If the talks were too low level for a set of people then they wouldn't be sitting in it for *too* long to lose interest. Although I do agree with Naren also here. Such "public" feedback would discourage a lot of people from coming forward and giving talks. The feedback system would be of great assistance here.

But if the feedback is about the talk, then it will be useful only for the speaker. It would be better for the speaker to ask for feedback (if needed), in that case. The bottom line is the talk selection will always be on a FCFS basis. He are some areas that we can work on to improve talk quality. * Ask the speakers to submit slides 3 days before the event. (We used to do that.) The idea is to ensure that the speakers is prepared well ahead of the event. * Better timekeeping during the event. Ensure that the talks do not spillover the 20 min slot. * Request speakers to rehearse their talks. Regards, Vijay -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

But, as Chennaipy, we could help funnel this feedback to them? Having one tool to consolidate feedback would definitely be more productive than expecting each one of the speakers to use their own? The latter would cause some amount of confusion, I'm sure. My idea is this: Publish a URL at the end of every meetup, something like tinyurl.com/feedback-cpy-201709 where, per talk, we could have a few simple questions rated on 1 - 5 and an open text to provide more feedback. The collated results, we could then share with the speakers individually. The URL is to be shared to only participants of the meetup. Sharing it on the mailing list / meetup page would skew the results and might end up in bogus entries as well.

IMHO, Points 1 and 3 are dependent on speaker's discipline and hence wonder if this is possible. However, as an idea, am all for it. The reason is: 1) I have the material upfront and hence I can prepare upfront and have a more fruitful discussion with the speaker. In other words, I can do my background reading and come prepared. 2) It could also help me decide if I really want to come for the meetup, especially if there is a clash with another equally important appointment. 3) As a listener, i get to hear a well-rehearsed presentation, which is a pleasure. Point no. 2 : I am for it and volunteer to time-keep whenever I come. This is needed. We could add this in the intro to the meetup. Just like we ask for a volunteer for the MoM, we can have a volunteer for time-keeping. Online feedback, is as Vijay says, is very iffy, as people don't give feedback. That's why here in my office, we have printed feedback sheets which participants are almost forced to fill. :( Not very effective. However, what I have noticed is that certain members do give honest feedback and maybe that would help. So, maybe we can try online feedback, provided the mechanism of setting it up is not really tough.

I was thinking along those lines as well. :-) And thanks for volunteering!
