Feed: IBM Big Data & Analytics Hub - All Content; Author: manish-bhide; IBM Watson OpenScale helps organizations detect and correct AI model bias and drift, explain AI outcomes, monitor model accuracy, analyze payloads, and more. There are algorithms available in open source that provide some of these capabilities. Some of these open source algorithms have originated from IBM such as AI Fairness 360 (AIF360) and AI Explainability 360 (AIX360). A question that often gets asked is “What are the advantages of using OpenScale instead of the algorithms available in open source?”While we contribute to open source projects, we also adopt ...

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: rOpenSci - open tools for open science. After soliciting, reviewing, and publishing over 100 blog posts and tech notes by rOpenSci community members, we have created the rOpenSci Blog Guide for Authors and Editors to address many frequently asked questions and frequently given suggestions.

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. By design, the out of the box configuration for PostgreSQL is defined to be a "Jack of All Trades, Master of None". The default configuration for PostgreSQL is fairly painstakingly chosen to ensure that it will run on every environment it is installed, meeting the lowest common denominator resources across most platforms.Because of this, it's always recommended that one of the first actions performed once an install of PostgreSQL is completed, would be to tune and configure some high-level settings. There are four high-level settings which will be discussed here: shared_buffers,  wal_buffers,  effective_cache_size, and maintenance_work_mem. Let's begin with shared_buffers ... Read More

The final installment provided a checklist for embedded developers migrating off flat files ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. IntroductionMany cloud-native organizations building modern applications have adopted a microservice architecture because of its flexibility, performance, and scalability. Even customers with legacy and monolithic application stacks are embarking on an application modernization journey and opting for this type of architecture. A microservice architecture allows applications to be composed of several loosely coupled discreet services that are independently deployable, scalable, and maintainable. These applications can comprise a large number of microservices, which often span multiple business units within an organization. These customers typically have a multi-account AWS environment with each AWS account belonging to an individual business ... Read More

Feed: DivvyCloud. Author: Jamie Gale; Introduction and Executive Summary DevOps and the continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline are revolutionizing application development, test, and cloud delivery, enabling developers to write the application code and define the cloud infrastructure. But where is cloud security?  Unfortunately, to date, security and compliance practices have been mainly reactive, as teams scramble to catch cloud infrastructure misconfigurations, risks, and compliance violations after provisioning or creation (i.e., “at runtime”).  Relying on runtime detection increases security and compliance risks significantly. It also drives down productivity, as developers have to spend their time addressing issues in the wrong place ... Read More
