Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Clint Wheelock. The computer vision market continues to gain momentum, according to a new report from Tractica.  Cameras in mobile devices and cameras added to consumer, commercial, and industrial products are being leveraged.  Artificial intelligence (AI) based software algorithms for computer vision are improving rapidly.  Deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) are continuing to evolve to leverage large amounts of visual information.  Furthermore, computer vision’s application to video, and not just static images, is expanding its real-world utility.Tractica forecasts that global revenue from computer vision software, hardware, and services will grow from $1.1 billion ...

Feed: Liquid Web. Author: Andrew Hartnett; First of all, what is DevOps? DevOps is short for Developer Operations and it is a newer approach that combines both development and operational tasks to automate and speed up software development practices and reduce release cycles for fast-growing companies. DevOps is built on the concept of teamwork and aims to unite teams that were traditionally kept separate and siloed, and reduces the development lifecycle for faster scalability. Once companies have decided which their business needs and objectives are, they need to start small and work towards adopting the DevOps model across the entire ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: David Smith. At last week's Microsoft Ignite conference in Orlando, our team delivered a series of 6 talks about AI and machine learning applications with Azure. The videos from each talk are linked below, and you can watch every talk from the conference online (no registration necessary). Each of our talks also comes with a companion Github repository, where you can find all of the code and scripts behind the demonstrations, so you can deploy and run them yourself. If you'd like to see these talks live, they will also be presented in 31 cities around the ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Power BI Blog | Microsoft Power BI. Author: . The November update has major updates in several areas of Power BI Desktop. There’s a new, modern ribbon that aligns Power BI Desktop with Office and adds more functionality. We’re also adding a new visual, the decomposition tree, which is one of the most requested ideas on ideas.powerbi.com. AI functions integrated into Power Query allows you to take your data transformations to the next level, and of course we have incremental improvements across the entire product. Here’s the complete list of November updates: Other Reporting Analytics Visualizations Data connectivity ... Read More

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Fredric Paul. When it comes to databases, there are two kinds of people in the world. Those who love to type commands and those who like to interact with their data visually. OK, maybe the world doesn’t always need to be divided into two categories. Sometimes you want the best of both worlds. And now Redis gives you exactly that—you can continue to use Redis’ familiar command-line interface (CLI) and also choose to work with your data visually. At RedisConf 2019 earlier this year, we announced that we were acquiring RDBTools—a popular graphical user interface (GUI) ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Manoj Sahi. The modular design approach, or modularity, subdivides a system into smaller and similar parts called modules, which can be customized, upgraded, repaired, scaled, and reused. The concept of modularity is not new and can be traced back to World War II, when Otto Merker investigated how modularity could be implemented in constructing German U-boats. IBM launched modular architecture for personal computers in 1980, and today, modularity is a well-known term in the world of robotics. In the late 1980s, the concept of applying a common connection mechanism to the entire robot was introduced ... Read More

Feed: Databasejournal.com - Feature Database Articles. Author: . Designing an optimized schema in a Relational Database Management System is crucial for performance. One important aspect of optimization is the complexity of the queries that will run on the schema. If schema is considered simply as a model or layout about how data is to be stored in an orderly fashion, it can take a toll on the performance in real action. So, you must tune a schema specifically for performance. This must be done right from the design phase, including estimating specific queries that you are supposed to run. You ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Aditya Kaul. A quiet revolution is taking place in artificial intelligence (AI) software. Until now, AI developers proved their mettle by using trial and error to choose the best algorithm or ensemble of algorithms suited to solve specific problems. Model selection brings optimization, tuning and optimizing the parameter space. This can be a major issue for deep learning in terms of development time and cost, as training deep learning networks can take up multiple graphics processing unit (GPU) clusters. For example, Google Brain is known to have spent more than 18 million processor hours on ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Jessica Groopman. In the technology space, buzz goes a long way. Investment driven by paranoia of disruption or loss of market share; marketing to drive search engine optimization (SEO) in buzz-worthy areas; and the ensuing internet echo chambers all foster a bandwagon effect. Having seen the internet, social media, and other recent disruptions destroy slow-moving brands, many companies are jumping on the blockchain bandwagon without a clear sense of precisely where, when, and why to focus. These dynamics make for a frenetic market environment, clouded by myths formulated to satisfy investors and board members, yet ... Read More
