Proxies for Facebook

In today’s connected world, social media has become an integral part of our lives. Among the various platforms, Facebook stands out as one of the most popular, boasting billions of users across the globe. However, with its extensive reach comes a plethora of privacy concerns and access restrictions based on location. One way to navigate these challenges is through the use of proxies specifically designed for Facebook. In this article, we’ll explore what proxies for Facebook are, their importance, features, use cases, and tips on how to choose and utilize them effectively.

Although I have written articles on many occasions, I was skeptical about the work ahead. Because I’m not a technical writer by profession, and following is the idea I had back then when I thought about technical writing.

Technical Writing with Google Season of Docs | OWASP ZAP

Google Season of Docs is a program giving technical writers an opportunity to contribute to open-source projects. I was selected as the technical writer to the OWASP Foundation to create the API documents for one of the world’s popular security testing tool. ZAP !!

Although I have written articles on many occasions, I was skeptical about the work ahead. Because I’m not a technical writer by profession, and following is the idea I had back then when I thought about technical writing.

How to prepare for Google Data Engineer Certification

Google’s data engineering certification is one of the new and emerging certifications in the industry right now for Data Engineering and Machine Learning. The exam will test on your ability to design, build and maintain data processing system and also analyze data, to gain insight into business outcomes and enable machine learning. I was able to pass the data engineer exam in Jan 2018. Through this blog, I would like to share my experience and the preparation guide, because at the time of writing I did not have enough materials to guide me on the exam.

Building a table top hologram projector

Recently I was interested in building a hologram projector to view the restaurant menu in 3D. This quest began when I ordered some fancy named food in the restaurant and ended up having rice and some boiled vegetables for dinner. :D. So basically that got me thinking is there a more cool way to display the food in 3D and make the experience more appealing.

The below image is one of the commercial grade hologram projectors in the markets priced from (2000$- 8000$). In technical terms is not a true hologram projector but an illusion of reflection.

In this article, I’ll talk about how to make something similar and the challenges on the way.

Building a simple Neural Network with Keras and Tensorflow

Neural networks have been a hot topic after the surfacing of deep learning. In these series of tutorials we will go in depth into building complex networks with Keras and Tensor Flow.

Linear Regression with pure Tensorflow

In this tutorial we will implement a simple linear regression with tensorflow. So what is linear regression ? In a nutshell it’s an efficient way to calculate the correlation between two variables. These two variables are identified as independent and dependent variables. We all use regression on an intuitive level every day. For this tutorial we can use real estate data(house area and price). Although real estate prices depends on all sort of variables for this example we assume that house prices increases with house area.

Optical Chracter Recognition on Super market bills

This was a problem I was working for a while. It is to do a proof of concept and see, with how much accuracy we can recognize a supermarket receipt. The scope is to try with 2 major supermarkets. One is Tesco and the other one is Sainsbury which are two of the leading supermarkets in the UK. The data set had over 2000 images and was a very challenging data set. Almost 60% for the receipts had below 20-30% accuracy (bad lighting conditions/angles/low resolution/crumpled) when the receipts are processed through the Tesseract OCR.

  1. Okay, Now let’s start with a reasonable receipt. This receipt is readable for the human eye. Let see how the Tesseract reads this. (Hmm Not bad at-least we can get the supermarket name, less than 5% accuracy)

A GPU Based Real Time People Re-identification Inside a Came Network

This article is about our final year project which dates back to 2015 AD, to re-identify people inside a camera network. Basically at the end of the day if you point a person in the CCTV and ask where did that person go it will generate a video of the person wandering around.

Okays not as worse as the sponge bob re-identification. But yea it works.  And yes the system runs real time too.

The following video shows the system running. That’s a very long video I would suggest to keep on reading. 😀
