Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Angel Sevilla Camins' Blog. Summary Are you a data scientist who only wants to focus on modelling and coding and not on setting up a GPU cluster? Then, this blog might be interesting for you. We developed an automated pipeline using gitlab and Kubernetes that is able to run code in two GPU environments, GCP and bare-metal; no need to worry about drivers, Kubernetes cluster creation or deletion. The only thing that you should do is to push your code and it runs in a GPU!Source code for both the custom Docker images and the Kubernetes objects ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Jakob Gepp. We at STATWORX work a lot with R and we often use the same little helper functions within our projects. These functions ease our daily work life by reducing repetitive code parts or by creating overviews of our projects. At first, there was no plan to make a package, but soon I realised, that it will be much easier to share and improve those functions, if they are within a package. Up till the 24th December I will present one function each day from helfRlein. So, on the 15th day of Christmas my true love ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. The opportunity to watch and coach the University of San Francisco (USF) students during our annual Hackathon with our friends at Good Dataprobably taught me as much as it taught the students. The lessons learned I’ll share here will not only benefit future classes, but my customers.  It also gives me an opportunity to make special mention of one Hackathon team that really delivered the goods! This year’s Hackathon focused on analyzing air traffic delays (a subject area with which I unfortunately consider myself an expert).  We used data ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: David Harris. In 1963 Benoit Mandelbrot published an article called “The Variation of Certain Speculative Prices.”  It is a response to the forming theory that would become Modern Portfolio Theory.  Oversimplified, Mandelbrot’s argument could be summarized as “if this is your theory, then this cannot be your data, and this is your data.”  This issue has haunted models such as Black-Scholes, the CAPM, the APT and Fama-French.  None of them have survived validation tests.  Indeed, a good argument can be made that the test by Fama and MacBeth in 1973 should ...

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Anna Thomas. I’m Anna Thomas, an Applied Data Scientist within Microsoft Engineering. My goals are to enable the field and partners to better integrate various AI tools into their applications. Recently, my team reached out to Microsoft News to see how they’re analyzing their data, and how our services may be able to help. Microsoft News ingests more than 100,000 articles and videos every day from various news providers. With so many different aspects such as classifying news topics, tagging and translating content, I was immediately interested in understanding how they process all of that ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  We’re rapidly approaching the point where AI will be so pervasive that it’s inevitable that someone will be injured or killed.  If you thought this was covered by simple product defect warranties it’s not at all that clear.  Here’s what we need to start thinking about. So far the press reports of AI misbehavior fall mostly in the humorous or embarrassingly incompetent categories.  Alexa orders doll houses when a little girl asks it to.  Robot guards fall into pools or push people over.  Google tags black people as ...
