Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. In today’s ultra-competitive business environment, you need all the tools you can get to have that edge over your rivals. And in this respect, BI takes on a very important role. Modern business and organizations strive on data. We’re talking of data that accumulates day in and day out, and that becomes what many call big data. On its own, data that keeps growing everyday has no tactical or strategic benefit to a business. But when that data is processed and analyzed to unravel trends, patterns and ... Read More

Feed: AWS Partner Network (APN) Blog. Author: Barbara Kessler. As we continue our MSP Partner Spotlight series, let’s dive into managed security, continuous compliance, and the convergence of what have traditionally been the separate focuses of Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and Managed Security Service Providers (MSSPs). A next-generation MSP must have a deep understanding of their customers’ security and compliance needs and possess the ability to deliver solutions that meet these needs. This week we hear from APN Premier Consulting Partner, MSP Partner, and Competency Partner, Smartronix, on how they approach this for their customers. Managed Security and Continuous Compliance: ...

Feed: Hadoop – Cloudera Engineering Blog. Author: Cy Jervis. In late 2016, Ben Lorica of O’Reilly Media declared that “2017 will be the year the data science and big data community engage with AI technologies.” Deep learning on GPUs has pervaded universities and research organizations prior to 2017, but distributed deep learning on CPUs is now beginning to gain widespread adoption in a diverse set of companies and domains. While GPUs provide top-of-the-line performance in numerical computing, CPUs are also becoming more efficient and much of today’s existing hardware already has CPU computing power available in bulk. The emergence of ... Read More

Feed: Big Data Made Simple - One source. Many perspectives.. Author: Baiju NT. For a long time, information security has been a war between men but recently it has become a battle between man and machine. The development of AI is slowly moving this fight into a new environment: machine versus machine, carefully directed by scientists or hackers. If you were picturing action filled AI vs AI battles, that’s only in Hollywood movies for now, but things can change in a matter of years due to Moore’s Law. Cyber security threats A study from 2016 uncovered that information theft is ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: JeanFrancoisPuget. Here is a question I was asked to discuss at a conference last month: what is Artifical Intelligence (AI)?  Instead of trying to answer it, which could take days, I decided to focus on how AI has been defined over the years.  Nowadays, most people probably equate AI with deep learning.  This has not always been the case as we shall see. Most people say that AI was first defined as a research field in a 1956 workshop at Dartmouth College.  Reality is that is has been defined 6 years earlier by Alan Turing ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. On Saturday February 11, 2017, my daughter and her friend were driving from a basketball game in Chico back to our home in Palo Alto. Unfortunately, due to several days of heavier than normal rains, the Oroville Dam spillway broke and flooded many of the roads between Chico and Palo Alto. My daughter’s smartphone mapping application wasn’t aware of the sudden danger, and proceeded to send her into the heart of the flooding (see Figure 1).Figure 1: Oroville Dam Flooding on Saturday, February 11, 2017 Fortunately, courtesy of some heads up ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Roy Wilds, PhD, PHEMI Systems. So far in this series on Artificial Intelligence Artificial Intelligence: Monster or Mentor? and AI for Summarization – Enabling Human-Consumable Information, we looked at several key ways in which AI advances can improve human productivity in organizations. Last time’s article dove into Distillation – automating the path to value. In this article, we’ll look at the next common approach: Categorization. Categorization is applying AI approaches to automate the labeling and organization of large data volumes, so that data can be routed, processed, and interpreted in the ... Read More
