Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. This is the first installment of a series on AI ethics. As we near the end of 2019, artificial intelligence (AI) technology continues to steadily permeate our world. While promoters wax on about how AI is helping to track and save snow leopards, accurately predict high risk patients for atrial fibrillation (A-fib), and seamlessly solve customer service issues, there is concern about how the use of AI technology can be controlled. In Tractica’s view, the primary ethical issues for AI fall into four categories: Privacy: Managing the use and ownership of personal data ... Read More

Feed: AWS Government, Education, & Nonprofits Blog. Author: Daniel Bernao. To help solve a few challenges I faced with my family, including the need to track the location of a child, I needed a serverless global positioning system (GPS) monitoring solution. Commercial geographic monitoring GPS solutions are not cost-effective because of the cost of digital map licenses from third parties and running servers around the clock. Existing GPS systems work with proprietary GPS devices that lock-in the users’ vendors’ devices. Alerts and geofencing are normally limited to static geofencing, but I needed to track the distance between two moving points ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Shivani Patel. It's exciting to see the Pytorch Community continue to grow and regularly release updated versions of PyTorch! Recent releases improve performance, ONNX export, TorchScript, C++ frontend, JIT, and distributed training. Several new experimental features, such as quantization, have also been introduced. At the PyTorch Developer Conference earlier this fall, we presented how our open source contributions to PyTorch make it better for everyone in the community. We also talked about how Microsoft uses PyTorch to develop machine learning models for services like Bing. Whether you are an individual, a small team, or a large enterprise, managing ... Read More

Feed: Databasejournal.com - Feature Database Articles. Author: . Sometimes conventional wisdom isn't so conventional, or common. As a case-in-point DBAs may believe that the STREAMS pool is reserved strictly for streams processes. That isn't the case as other Oracle utilities, such as Data Pump and GoldenGate, use that pool. Of course opting to use dynamic management will automatically allocate the required memory when a demand is made, however that memory must come from somewhere. Oracle will 'steal' what it needs from the buffer cache, and it won't be replaced immediately. Let's look at an example proving this, using Data Pump ... Read More
