Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. I’ve been reading the interesting and soul-searching (from a data scientist perspective) book from Cathy O’Neil titled “Weapons of Math Destruction”, or WMD as used in the book.  The book provides several real-world examples of how Big Data and Data Science – when not properly structured – can lead to ethically-wrong unintended consequences.  Chapter 3 “Arms Race: Going to College” describes how the college ranking system developed by “US News & World Report” in 1983 has created its own self-fulfilling, mis-aligned ecosystem. Because of the influence the “US News ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: Mirko Ortensi; MySQL highly available solutions, InnoDB Cluster (it uses InnoDB storage engine and is based on Group Replication plugin) and NDB Cluster (NDB storage engine), offer high scalability and redundant topologies. InnoDB Cluster can be configured with up to 9 replicas, in single primary configuration or multi-primary. NDB Cluster instead, while being a much different solution, offers the chance to have up to 4 data nodes replicated for a single shard of data (or node group) and up to a total number of 144 nodes. Redundancy ensures that multiple copies of data exist and are ... Read More

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: William Vorhies. Summary:  Some industries are a clear slam-dunk for AI/ML applications and some less so.  The legal, regulatory, and compliance businesses (law firms, internal legal departments, and the contract review and regulatory compliance departments of heavily regulated industries) fall in this last category.  This is a review of seven companies found by TopBots to be successful; pointing to opportunities others can follow. Remember just a few years ago when we were looking forward to now or a little beyond and imagining what applications AI/ML would have in different industries.  Some ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Author: Steve Schwartz. Tableau: As you look back on the polling data you gathered in the lead-up to the election, what is your big-picture takeaway about what your data revealed? Wronski: One thing that we really came to appreciate was the value of having the 50-state Candidate Preference map to visualize our data. We actually feel that we did well in terms of directionally calling the states correctly. We were dead-on in a lot of cases, and the places where we were off, they were oftentimes less than the degree to which other pollsters were off. And ... Read More

We just got updated results from the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine candidate. With 8 out of 170 cases belonging to the treatment group, the point estimate is remarkably similar to the Moderna preliminary results (~95% effectiveness). I will note that I was right in saying that the Pfizer-Biontech vaccine is ... Read More
