“Kazi has been my manager for 1.5 years and has done a great job of managing the Hadoop development teams at Yahoo. He excels at sheltering the architects and engineers on the critical path from distractions and letting them focus on getting the work done. Kazi managed the development, integration, and rollout of the Hadoop 0.20 security release. The release was completed on time and was deployed in the smoothest Hadoop rollout since Yahoo started using Hadoop in production.”

Local Motion Phases for Learning Multi-Contact Character Movements
Proceedings ACM SIGGRAPH
Training a bipedal character to play basketball and interact with objects, or
a quadruped character to move in various locomotion modes, are difficult
tasks due to the fast and complex contacts happening during the motion.
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to learn fast and dynamic
character interactions that involve multiple contacts between the body and
an object, another character and the environment, from a rich, unstructured
motion capture database. We use…Training a bipedal character to play basketball and interact with objects, or
a quadruped character to move in various locomotion modes, are difficult
tasks due to the fast and complex contacts happening during the motion.
In this paper, we propose a novel framework to learn fast and dynamic
character interactions that involve multiple contacts between the body and
an object, another character and the environment, from a rich, unstructured
motion capture database. We use one-on-one basketball play and character
interactions with the environment as examples. To achieve this task, we
propose a novel feature called local motion phase, that can help neural
networks to learn asynchronous movements of each bone and its interaction
with external objects such as a ball or an environment. We also propose a
novel generative scheme to reproduce a wide variation of movements from
abstract control signals given by a gamepad, which can be useful for changing
the style of the motion under the same context. Our scheme is useful for
animating contact-rich, complex interactions for real-time applications such
as computer games.Other authors -

There are plenty of clouds engineers have been using, have you ever wondered what it takes to build or to operate one? https://lnkd.in/dx9iV534
