Feed: CIO. Author: . The perception that the disruptions of 2020 would result in IT projects being stalled or retired hasn’t played out. Rather, it’s the opposite. While overall IT budgets have declined, in areas critical to business health, such as digital transformation, investment is booming. IDC data suggests that spending on digital transformation projects will grow 10.4 per cent for the year.The reason behind the investment ranges from organisations looking to fortify their business resilience through the disruption (for example, by allowing staff to work remotely), through to a desire to prepare the business for the other end of ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  Let’s start by clarifying the difference between RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and IA (Intelligent Automation).  Then we’ll show why AI/ML inside Intelligent Automation is the secret sauce that really makes this work. As we’ve tracked the adoption of AI/ML across industries the application that always seems to lead is RPA (Robotic Process A..., sometimes also referred to as IA (Intelligent Automation).  The problem with giving credit for AI/ML adoption to RPA is that RPA historically has meant robotic process simplification.  That is, processes were indeed automated but it ...

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Kurt Cagle. From the Editor's Desk One of the biggest impacts the pandemic has had is the complete turmoil that it has left of the educational system in most countries. Extended lockdowns and the need for social distancing have played havoc with the traditional mode of gathering students together into classrooms led by teachers working from blackboards. What has replaced it has been virtual classrooms - teachers reaching out to students at their homes, instructional materials morphed into web portals, interactive demos, zoom meetings, and tracking of progress through cloud-based data ...

Feed: CronJ. Author: Nupur Pal; What are the two things that come to your mind when you step on the road? We can bet that they are safety and security. And why won’t they occur to you. We tend to live in a world when anything can happen at any point of time. Therefore, newer technologies are evolving to improve these two words. AI in security solutions is one such technology.AI has provided some concrete security solutions to many industries. Software like AI video analytics and IoT help to improve surveillance facilities. Furthermore, we can say that AI is our ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Kurt Cagle. Over the years, I've had people ask me how a taxonomy differs from an ontology. The answer (or at least a reasonably simple answer) is that "a taxonomy is a tree shaped ontology". It is worth digging  bit deeper to understand what that means, however: Way back in the early 18th century, a Swedish biologist by the name of Carl Linnaeus began a fairly ambitious project. He wanted to build a way of indexing animals and plants by their phenotypes - the ways that they are alike. His original ... Read More

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. This is a guest blog post by AWS partner Aspire Ventures As we enter winter, with fewer options to be outdoors, our personal choices can impact our risk of contracting the COVID-19 virus even more. The New England Journal of Medicine publication showed real-world examples of the effectiveness of masks and social distancing in mitigating severity of COVID-19 infection and keeping people asymptomatic. CNN reported on a study that showed people who contracted COVID-19 were twice as likely to have visited a restaurant in the prior two weeks. What if we had actionable crowding, mask ... Read More
