This year the International Conference on Machine Learning took place in Lille, France. It was a fantastic event to bring research from a diverse areas of Machine Learning in a collaborative setting. The conference went down really well. There was an immense amount of research shared within the community. Also, a noticeable increase in number of people that attended the conference this year. The schedule was broken down into conferences, workshops, and tutorials. Even an open question and discussion session was available after each session. The banquet was a joyful experience. However, both the banquet and the local Lille food experience was much to be desired. Cheese was on display, in all forms, and showing itself in every french menu. For vegetarians, Lille offers cheese, french fries, and salad. Some of the most popular areas of research covered included: Deep Learning, Topic Modelling, Structured Prediction, Networks and Graphs, Natural Language Processing, Reinforcement Learning, and Transfer Learning. Deep Learning, Reinforcement Learning, and Word2Vec were the most popular researched topics in attendance. Many of the presented papers can be found also on Arxiv. The conference also showed how far Machine Learning has come as well as the level of popularity it has garnered over the years. Machine Learning is proving to be an invaluable area in a multitude of domains which is having profound effects for business and society as a whole. But, one thing was reverberated throughout the conference that even now there is still a lot to be discovered before Artificial Intelligence can truly match the abilities of a human being.

London Shopping Centres
Shopping in UK is not comparable to quality and the vast expanse of malls in US. Department stores are also relatively unmatched apart from Harrods, Selfridges, and John Lewis. Not only is shopping in UK far more expensive than US but there is also less variety as well as competition for bargains. But, things are slowly changing in UK especially for London where there is plenty of options and this is because the major city and capital gets such a huge influx of tourists year round. Although, not exhaustive, the following list includes some popular shopping arcades in London as well as a link to a few popular areas around UK. There is also a link to a lonely planet guide to shopping in London.
Awesome Big Data
Big Data has taken off in leaps and bounds for distributed systems as well as machine learning. The following links provides useful set of curated and category list of Big Data frameworks, libraries, resources, and other related technologies. No doubt this will change as the domain has proven to be very dynamic.
