3D Web Scene of Earthquakes, Tornadoes, Typhoons and Cities

Here's my very first 3D Web Scene that visualizes natural disasters and two cities (Portland and Montreal): http://arcg.is/01jbSq

A 3D Web Scene is Esri-speak for a 3D web map.  You can zoom and pan, re-orient, change basemaps, change the daylight settings, explore different views and do lots more.  Here's a screen shot of all typhoons represented on the 3D Web Scene:


In this screenshot, typhoons are represented as cylinder symbols, with greater heights representing higher wind speeds and darker colors representing lower barometric pressures.

If you don't want to leave my beautiful blog (I don't blame you), you can check out the embedded version of the 3D Web Scene right here:



Check it out.  I'd love to know what you think!

There appears to be a lot of confusion between the terms Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), Neural Networks (NN) and Deep Learning (DL).  Based on research from various popular blogs and articles, here is my attempt at a simple visual explanation:

Understanding And Interpreting Gain And Lift Charts

Image
Lift and Gain Charts are a useful way of visualizing how good a predictive model is. In SPSS, a typical gain chart appears as follows: In today's post, we will attempt to understand the logic behind generating a gain chart and then discuss how gain and lift charts are interpreted. To do this, we will use the example of a direct mailing company. Let us assume that based on experience, the company knows that the average response rate on its direct mail campaigns is 10%. Let us further make the following assumptions: * Cost per ad mailed = $1 * Return per response = $50 Additionally, let us assume that the company mails out ads in lots of 10,000. Based on these assumptions, if the company mails out 100,000 ads, a table summarizing the results it would obtain from this campaign is provided below: Now let us assume that the company uses SPSS Modeler to develop a predictive model using data from previous campaigns. "Response / No Response" is identified as the &
