LinkedIn Open-Sources FeatureFu, A Toolkit For Building Machine Learning Models
LinkedIn today announced that it is open-sourcing an internal tool called FeatureFu. The FeatureFu toolkit is meant to make it easier for developers to build their machine learning models around statistical modeling and decision engines.
The idea here is to take LinkedIn’s knowledge around “feature engineering” and make it accessible to developers outside of the company. In machine learning, feature engineering is basically using your detailed knowledge of the phenomenon you are looking at and then using that to build machine learning models.

Today, Mozilla have announced that those residing in New Zealand can get their hands on the first public preview of Firefox for iOS.
