Feed: Planet big data. Author: Brendan Miller. Stripe, one of the leading payment providers for online and platform businesses, today announced “Stripe Terminal” to tackle the merchant challenges around in-person payments. Stripe’s solution combines several of the technology components that go into in-person payments and works to abstract the complexity away for merchants and developers. In-person payments are operationally challenging for merchants. Retail payment leaders working to support their business’ omnichannel efforts and global expansion ambitions consistently run into a complex maze of in-store (AKA, card-present) payment stack providers, including payment processors, local acquirers and gateways, terminal hardware, and middleware ...

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Charles Betz. The 2018 Enterprise Service Management Wave is out! Take IT Service Management, add the Age of the Customer, stir in some Employee Experience and a healthy dose of low/no-code platform, and voilà! Enterprise Service Management! Or if you prefer a more traditional description, we define Enterprise Service Management (ESM) as: Extending IT service management capabilities beyond technology services to address business-centric use cases; managing service demand and supply through a common platform, portal, and service catalog; and speeding up innovation and workflow automation through PaaS/low-code development tooling. Why should you care about ESM? ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. During the EARL (Enterprise Applications of the R Language) conference in London last week, the organizers asked me how I thought the conference had changed over the years. (This is the conference's fifth year, and I'd been to each one.) My response was that it reflected the increasing maturity of R in the enterprise. The early years featured many presentations that were about using R in research and the challenges (both technical and procedural) for integrating that research into the day-to-day processes of the business. This year though, just about every presentation was about ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Lori Wizdo. I am still catching my breath. Adobe has agreed to acquire Marketo for $4.75 billion. The deal is the biggest in Adobe’s history, and a massive encore to the acquisition of Magento for a mere $1.7 billion in May. On the one hand, I find myself proud to be a B2B marketer — to think that helping folks like me be more successful is worth $4.75 billion. On the other hand, you’ve just gotta wonder about that number. My colleagues Joe Stanhope and Rusty Warner — both of whom know a lot about Adobe and ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. Today’s Artificial Intelligence (AI) discussions remind me of a Steve Martin skit from the early Saturday Night Live days (1979). In the skit titled “What the Hell is that?”, Steve Martin, later joined by Bill Murray, is looking in the distance at something, repeatedly asking the question “What the hell is that?”  The skit reminds me of today’s AI discussions about “What the hell is AI?”, which distracts from the more important conversation about how we should be leveraging AI to derive and drive business value. Folks are spending ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Fabian Müller. In a recent blog post our CEO Sebastian Heinz wrote about Google's newest stroke of genius – AutoML Vision. A cloud service "that is able to build deep learning models for image recognition completely fully automated and from scratch". AutoML Vision is part of the current trend towards the automation of machine learning tasks. This trend started with automation of hyperparameter optimization for single models (Including services like SigOpt, Hyperopt, SMAC), went along with automated feature engineering and selection (see my colleague Lukas' blog post about our bounceR package) towards full automation of complete data ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R Views. I wish this post existed when I was struggling to add interactive plots to my Shiny app. I was mainly focused on recreating functionality found in other “dashboarding” applications. When looking for options, I found that htmlwidgets were the closest to what companies usually expect. However, while they are great for client-side interactivity, I often hit walls with them when I try to add click-through interactivity because the functionality is either not there, is very limited, or is bloated. With r2d3 there is more work, but the gains in customization and interactivity make it by ... Read More
