The next chapter is all about moving from experimentation to true transformation. It’s about gaining speed and scale. We are helping businesses activate data as a strategic asset, with desire to maximize the impact of AI as core to the business strategy.To do so, businesses must explore AI and become comfortable with data science embedded into business processes. Early open source data science and AI proofs-of-concept are beginning to mature. Businesses leaders are starting to seek help on how ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Fergus O'Sullivan; We’re living in the age of the surveillance state, and it’s not just the state surveilling, either. Governments and corporations are walking hand-in-hand down the road to totalitarianism in lockstep with jackboots on. Though there are plenty of ways to change that, in this article, we’ll be talking about how to avoid it by showing you how to hide your IP address. The reasoning behind that is simple: if they don’t know who you are or where you’re from, nobody can come after you. Hiding your IP address makes you a lot more secure, and ... Read More

Editor’s Note: This presentation was given by Frederick Kagan and Sébastien Heymann at GraphConnect New York in October 2018.Presentation SummaryThe American Enterprise Institute (AEI) is an independently-funded nonprofit that uses unclassified information to understand ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, Africa and Europe to produce forecasts and policy recommendations.Like the intelligence community, and almost any large-scale business analysis team, the nonprofit had to solve problem of munging all their data together into a single interface. They found their solution with the combined power of Neo4j and Linkurious, even though they encountered some ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. 17 May 2019 Last month I was invited to give a keynote talk at FOSS4G North America in San Diego. I have been speaking about open source economics at FOSS4G conferences more-or-less every two years, since 2009, and I look forward to revisting the topic regularly: the topic is every-changing, just like the technology. In 2009, the central pivot of thought about open source in the economy was professional open source firms in the Red Hat model. Since they we’ve taken a ride through a VC-backed “open core” bubble and are now grappling with an environment where ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Packt Publishing. PyTorch is known for being a clean framework, and hence it was a challenging task to achieve the production capability and flexibility needed for research. I think that the major hurdle for pushing production support to the core was going out of Python's realm and moving the PyTorch model to a faster, thread-safe language that has multithreading capability. But then, that violated the Python-first principle that PyTorch had up to that point.   Serving the PyTorch model in Python itself is the easiest way of serving your model in ... Read More

Happy anniversary!From System S to Streams IBM Streams evolved from a five-year collaboration between IBM Research and the U.S. government. The original goals were to: Create a system to ingest unprecedented volumes of data Analyze data arriving at extremely high velocity Handle a variety of data, both structured and unstructured. You can glean some Streams history from the IBM Research pages for System S project. The “S” was short for Streams, to play off ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Andrew Treadway. R offers several ways to reverse a string, include some base R options. We go through a few of those in this post. We’ll also compare the computational time for each method. Reversing a string can be especially useful in bioinformatics (e.g. finding the reverse compliment of a DNA strand). To get started, let’s generate a random string of 10 million DNA bases (we can do this with the stringi package as well, but for our purposes here, let’s just use base R functions). set.seed(1) dna 1) Base R with strsplit and paste One way ...

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Christopher Condo. The recent merger of CloudBees and Electric Cloud is a sign of the times in the world of DevOps as integrated DevOps solutions come back into vogue. Not too recently, this would have been looked down upon as a step in the wrong direction when it comes to innovation and providing value to developers. But why is that? What’s wrong with an integrated toolchain, and why is it taking so long for vendors and users to come around to them or for vendors to offer them? After all, DevOps as a term itself ... Read More
