I am following the Vowpalwabbit tutorial on contextual MABs using cb_explore_adf and I was wondering how to transform the actions namespace feature into numeric so it could generialize better for a new arm.
In this tutorial they present click-through rate (CTR) problem where the actions are the kind of articles to show:
shared |User user=Tom time_of_day=morning
|Action article=politics
|Action article=sports
|Action article=music
|Action article=food
As we cansse see, the article feature in the namespace Action is set to be a categorical value (politics, food, etc ...)
Is it possible to transform it into numeric? Lets say that in my problem I am showing constumers a price:
shared |User user=Tom time_of_day=morning
|Action price=2.99
|Action price=10.99
if I want to test a new price, let's say $6.99... would the previus training bring some information?
What I understand, VowpalWabbit uses ":" for numeric features...is that true?
shared |User user=Tom time_of_day=morning
|Action price:2.99
|Action price:10.99
I tried this out, but it didn't work... in fact it made the model unable to covnerge.
What did I miss?
thanks
The way you are using numeric features is correct.
Are you still trying to play with the simulator that is provided in tutorial?
If so, have you changed rewarding logic (get_cost function) - right now it is assigning rewards based on person and time_of_day. If you want to play with new features, you would probably need to change logic there to make rewards correlated with your new feature.

This is the page I am trying to make it dynamic by enabling cross-filtering.
So the thing is they are having multiple API.
For the top first two: TOTAL CASES & DAILY CASES
They are using this API and the third one in the top is based on this API.
The bottom three AGE, GENDER, and NATIONALITY are from this API.
In all the API one thing is common that is a date but there are some API in which some data are missing for few dates like there is a gap( Not available for some of the dates).
So I thought of combining all the JSON API in terms of dates and then allow cross filter because I believe I can enable cross-filtering between them. Correct me If I am wrong.
Like If I click on gender female since it gives info about total cases where the patient was female so only confirmed cases from the Total cases will change not the recovered, deaths as data is not available. SO I guess I should combine the top 3 charts together and gender, age and nationality charts, together. Then Dc js would be able to handle nicely filtering between each segments (cases related to landmark, cases related to person info).
Line 123:
var log = console.log;
var q = queue()
.defer(d3.json, "https://api.covid19india.org/data.json")
.defer(d3.json, "https://api.rootnet.in/covid19-in/unofficial/covid19india.org/statewise/history");
q.await(function(error, data1, data2) {
log("==========>");
log("data1:", error,data1);
log("data2:", data2);
});
This is not working because I can't see console.log() output.
https://blockbuilder.org/ninjakx/8c48ab6481311aa0452046d66c4d8701
So my questions are:
1) Why d3.queue is not working?
2) Suggestion whether combining all the datas together and allowing a filltering is a good idea or not as there is limited data. Should I go for cross filtering between the same api charts. So in this case I will have 2 segments (cases related to landmark, cases related to person info)..
Using DC js I want to make it more interactive and display more info.
d3.queue is obsolete
The answer to your first question is cut-and-dried: you don't need d3.queue, and it was deprecated and removed in d3#5.
As of d3#5, D3's data loading APIs use ES6 Promises instead of asynchronous callbacks, so you can use Promise.all([...]) instead of d3.queue. Apparently no way to make the new API emit errors when called in the old way, so it just fails silently. :-/
The new way to write your code is
Promise.all([
d3.json("https://api.covid19india.org/data.json"),
d3.json("https://api.rootnet.in/covid19-in/unofficial/covid19india.org/statewise/history")
]).then(([data1,data2]) => {
log("==========>");
log("data1:", data1);
log("data2:", data2);
})
.catch(error => log('error', error))
I find this much easier to read and understand. A nice side effect is that if you neglect to do error handling (like most people), you'll automatically get a clear message in the log.
Working fork of your block.
Combining multiple data sets
Your second question is pretty open-ended, maybe it would be better to bring that to the dc.js users group?
In general, it's difficult to cross-filter more than one data set. You would have more than one chart group that redraws together, and you'd have to manually add handlers on some chart to initiate, clear filters, and redraw the other chart group.
I haven't seen too many dashboards that do this. You'd have to make it clear to users what is going on.
I am trying to list the view template’s properties so we can compare them with another old template.
For example what model elements are hidden or have overrides in a given template or which Revit links have been hidden or overridden in a given template.
View Template
(https://www.google.com/search?q=view+template+revit&rlz=1C1GGRV_enUS770US770&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjLndrd2cTbAhVESq0KHX1cAPwQ_AUICygC&biw=1536&bih=824#imgrc=Q0v-pV7Nxl4kfM:)
I’m looking to devise a View Template Compare tool and access to the owner and creator of them.
public void ApplyViewTemplateToActiveView()
{
Document doc = this.ActiveUIDocument.Document;
View viewTemplate = (from v in new FilteredElementCollector(doc)
.OfClass(typeof(View))
.Cast<View>()
where v.IsTemplate == true && v.Name == "MyViewTemplate"
select v)
.First();
using (Transaction t = new Transaction(doc,"Set View Template"))
{
t.Start();
doc.ActiveView.ViewTemplateId = viewTemplate.Id;
t.Commit();
}
}
With Revit API you can access with:
GetTemplateParameterIds Method / ViewTemplateId Property
The Revit API exposes almost all the ViewTemplate properties.
For instance this method returns all the Visibility/Graphic Overrides for a specific category:
https://apidocs.co/apps/revit/2019/ed267b82-56be-6e3b-0c6d-4de7df1ed312.htm
The only thing I couldn't get for a ViewTemplate are the "includes", but all the rest seems to be there.
Update:
The list or properties "not included" can be retrieved with GetNonControlledTemplateParameterIds().
Yes, and no.
Yes, I guess you can use Forge Model Derivative API to export RVT file and then build a dashboard around the View Templates data. That's assuming that View Templates data actually gets exported when the model is translated. That data is not attached to any geometry so I would not be surprised if it was skipped. The question here is why? This is like renting a 16-wheel truck to move a duffel bag across the street.
No, if your intention is to directly interact with the RVT model. Forge can view it, but to push anything back or request changes to the model, is not available yet. Then again, I am not even sure that the view template data is available via model derivative exports.
This brings me another alternative. Why not just collect the data using Revit API, the standard way and then push it out to a Database and build on top of that? There is no reason to employ Forge for any of that.
Thanks Jeremy, I had dig into your amazing website and also some solution that Konrad post in the Dynamo Forum about this. In Revit seems pretty achievable, you filter the View that is View Template and then extracts these properties, is it correct?.
I am wondering if someone can point me in the right direction with Forge.
Some amazing guys are developing a BQL https://www.retriever.works/.
BQL(Building Query Language) is a query language for buildings, similar to how SQL is a query language for databases. It is fast and flexible. BQL helps improve efficiency for QA/QC (quality assurance and quality control), and building data extraction without leaving Revit. I am also trying these and I would like to understand if there are some works where I could start with Forge next week about this.
I have a set of functionally similar websites that I want to write cucumber specs for to drive both development, and selennium browser tests. The site are in different languages and will have different URLs, but will have mainly the same features.
An example scenario might be
Scenario Outline: Photo Gallery Next Action
Given I visit a "<photo-gallery-page>"
When I click "<next-button>" in the gallery
Then the photo should advance
Examples:
| photo-gallery-page | next-button |
| www.site1.com/photo-gallery | Next |
| www.site2.com/la-galerie-de-photos | Suivant |
This is fine when I have a small number of scenarios and examples. However I'm anticipating hundred of scenarios and fairly regular launch of new sites. I want to avoid having to edit each scenario to add examples when launching new sites.
I think I need to store all my example variables in a per site configuration, so that I can run the same scenario against all sites. Then I can add new configurations fairly easily and avoid editing all the scenario examples and making them unreadable.
site[:en].photo-gallery-page = 'www.site1.com/photo-gallery'
site[:fr].photo-gallery-page = 'www.site2.com/la-galerie-de-photos'
site[:en].next-button = 'Next'
site[:fr].next-button = 'Suivant'
One option would be to store this config somewhere, then generate the site specific gherkin files using a script. I could then run these generated gherkins which would contain the required examples
I'm wondering if there's an easier way. My other idea was if I can use table transforms to replace the example blocks. I've had a read, but as far as I can tell I can only transform a table (and replace it with a custom code block) if it's an inline table within a step. I can't transform an examples block in the same way.
Have I understood that correctly? Any other suggestions on how best to achieve this?
I wonder if there's a better way... This all feels very brittle.
What if:
Given I follow a link to the gallery "MyGallery"
And the gallery "MyGallery" contains the following photos:
|PhotoID|PhotoName|
|1 |MyPhoto1 |
|2 |MyPhoto2 |
And the photo "MyPhoto1" is displayed
When I view the next photo
Then the next photo "MyPhoto2" should be displayed
Note that you've taken out the notion of button names, etc. - implementation details that are presumably better defined in your step definitions. The behaviour you're defining is simply going to a gallery, viewing an image, requesting the next one, viewing the next image. Define how in your step definitions.
There's some reading I found very useful on this topic at http://cuke4ninja.com/. Download the PDF and check out the web automation section (it details the web automation pyramid).
To address your configuration problem, maybe you could define some kind of config. class and supply it to the step definition files via dependency injection. You could make it site specific by loading from different config. files as you suggested in its constructor. Step definitions could pull the relevant site specific data from the config. class' properties. I think this would make your scenario is more readable and less brittle.
I'm looking for a way to add a drop down for a customer's address (during registration, editing, checkout, etc..) that indicates whether or not it is a Residential or Business address. I have spent hours going through tutorials but they are all out of date or poorly written. I have read 6 different ones telling me how to do the same thing 6 different ways. Can someone outline a simple process that you need to do in order to add a custom attribute to an address? I'm on Magento 1.6
Try something like this tutorial at Fontis: Know More About Your Customers - Adding Custom Signup Attributes
Whilst this was written for 1.3.2.4, most (if not all) is still relevant for 1.6. I've done a very similar thing by allowing a customer to choose the customer group they wish to belong to, by following these directions.
Oh, and there are some great comments on the post as well.
These tutorials should give you a good idea how to do what you want:

I'm developing a SL3 application with Prism. I need to have support for validation (both field level (on the setter of the bound property) and before save (form level)), including a validation summary, shown when the save button is pressed.
But the samples I can find googling are either SL3 with a lot of code in code behind (very uncool and un-Prismy), or WPF related.
Does anyone know a reference application with some actual validation I can look into?
Cheers,
Ali
There aren't any from Microsoft at present, but I'll pass this one onto the PRISM team tomorrow to see if we can get a basic Form Validation example inside the next rev of PRISM.
That being said, you can put a validator per Form that essentially validates each field (semantic and/or syntax validation) and should all pass, will return a true/false state.
A way I typically do this is I attach a "CanSave" method to my Commands ie:
SaveOrderCommand = new DelegateCommand<object>(this.Save, this.CanSave);
private bool CanSave(object arg)
{
return this.errors.Count == 0 && this.Quantity > 0;
}
Then in the this.CanSave, i then put either the basic validation inside this codebase, or I call a bunch of other validators depending on the context - some would be shared across all modules (ie IsEmailValid would be one Validator i place in my Infrastructure Module as a singleton and pass in my string, it would then true/false as a result). Once they all pass, ensure CanSave returns true. If they fail, the CanSave will return False.
Now if they fail and you want to trigger a friendly reminder to the user that its failed theres a number of techniques you can use here. I've typically flagged the said control at validation as being "failed".. (i wrote my own mind you, so up to you which toolkits you could use here - http://www.codeplex.com/SilverlightValidator is a not bad one).
Now, I typically like to do more with Forms that have validation on them by not only highlighting the said control (red box, icon etc) but also explain to the user in more detail whats required of them - thus custom approach is a solution I've opted for.
At the end of the day, you're going to have to do some of the heavy lifting to validate your particular form - but look into ways to re-use validators where they make sense (email, SSN etc are easy ones to re-use).
HTH?
