Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Robert R. Tucci. I just uploaded a new chapter to my github proto-book "Bayesuvius". This chapter deals with Reinforcement Learning (RL) done right, i.e., with Bayesian Networks :) My chapter is heavily based on the excellent course notes for CS 285 taught at UC Berkeley by Prof. Sergey Levine. All I did was to translate some of those lectures into B net lingo. During a recent conversation that I had on LinkedIn with some very smart Machine Learning experts, the experts opined that the fields of RL and B nets did ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. While trying to help Stefan Stefanov with his [pg_spreadsheetml](https://github.com/stefanov-sm/pg_spreadsheetml){:target="_blank"} I came across something that would have been obvious, but not too much to me. The obvious thing is replace is generally faster than regexp_replace. The fact is that, probably due to my heavy usage of Perl and Raku, I tend to use regular expressions even where they are not really required, and that is why I tried to change a nested invocation of replace into one of regexp_replace. The pull request, and in particular the commit did transform something like: replace(replace(replace(s, '&', '&amp;'), '>', '&gt;'), '<', '&lt;'); ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: James Beswick. This post is courtesy of Jakub Narloch, Senior Software Development Engineer.Today, AWS announced the support for Amazon API Gateway as an event target in Amazon EventBridge.

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Amanda Lowe. Manufacturing industries only realize 20 to 30 percent of the value of their data. By consistently leveraging the value of their data, manufacturing companies could reduce product development costs by up to 50 percent and operating costs by up to 25 percent, while increasing their gross margins by one third[1]. Industrial IoT (IIoT) is a data lever – it brings machines, field assets at the edge, cloud computing, analytics, and people together to improve the performance and productivity of industrial processes. With IIoT, industrial companies can digitize ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. With AWS Copilot you can launch your service using one of the built in service patterns providing you secure and scalable infrastructure.

AWS Copilot lets you set up a fully functional CI/CD AWS CodePipeline with just two ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. In the ROS ecosystem, rosbag is a common format to capture output messages such as sensor data and robot logs, and store the serialized message data in a bag file. The S3 rosbag cloud extension is available as an open source ROS package that customers can install as a ROS node on their robots. Using this cloud extension, customers can create, configure the duration and upload rosbags to Amazon S3 based on an event trigger. This makes it easy for the customers to get the sensor data or logs off the robot, and into the AWS cloud ... Read More

Feed: Radar. Author: Mike Loukides. At Microsoft’s Build conference, Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott talked about an experimental project in which an AI, trained on code in GitHub, actually creates programs: it generates function bodies based on a descriptive comment and a message signature. (Skip to 29:00 of the video.)  Along similar lines, an unrelated research paper reports on unsupervised translation of programs from one language to another–indeed, probably an easier task than natural language translation. Microsoft’s demo is, well, a demo, and the research paper is a research paper. Microsoft’s AI was able to provide method bodies for some relatively ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Chris Hemedinger. If your work environment is like ours here at SAS, you're seeing more of your data and applications move to the cloud. It's not yet a complete replacement for having local files on your desktop machine, but with cloud storage and apps -- like Microsoft OneDrive -- I can now access my work documents from any browser and any device, including my smartphone. I can update now my spreadsheets while waiting in the dentist office. Oh joy. For those of us who use SAS to read and create Microsoft Excel documents, cloud-based files can ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Melanie Carey. How have healthcare providers and governmental agencies predicted the fast-changing, potentially exponential increase in the need for medical services and equipment through the various stages of the COVID-19 pandemic? Mathematical techniques that attempt to model and understand the likely spread of the disease have been instrumental. The SEIR model is a compartment model that uses a mathematical and statistical approach to model the spread of an infectious disease within a population. It divides the population into four compartments: Susceptible: those who are susceptible to becoming infected. Exposed: those who have been exposed to an ... Read More
