Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Marco Tavora. Nowadays, artificial intelligence is present in almost every part of our lives. Smartphones, social media feeds, recommendation engines, online ad networks, and navigation tools are some examples of AI-based applications that already affect us every day. Deep learning in areas such as speech recognition, autonomous driving, machine translation, and visual object recognition has been systematically improving the state of the art for a while now.However, the reasons that make deep neural networks (DNN) so powerful are only heuristically understood, i.e. we know only from experience that we can achieve ...

This article was written by Will Koehrsen.  Reading through a data science book or taking a course, it can feel like you have the individual pieces, but don’t quite know how to put them together. Taking the next step and solving a complete machine learning problem can be daunting, but preserving and completing a first project will give you the confidence to tackle any data science problem. This series of articles will walk through a complete machine learning solution with a real-world dataset to let you see how all ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Richard Charles, PhD. I’m frustrated! Being a Technophile poses several problems that seem to go unaddressed by leaders of the “Big Tech” firms. As the big firms such as Apple, Google and Samsung continue to develop impressively beautiful, technologically capable, faster and yes, addictive technologies, consumers are left with solving a very complex problem. That is, “how does one optimize the use and efficacy of their technology devices?” To answer this question, I must share with you that I have yet to solve the problem. However, my use of my desktop, ... Read More

No this postisn’t really on the path to some politically incorrect stereotypical humor. Juttrying to make it fun and catch your attention. As the title implies this postis really about applying the differing viewpoints and methodologies inherent inthose approaches to statistics. To be honest I’m not even going to spend a lottime on the details of methods, I want to focus on the conclusions each of thesepeople would draw after analyzing the same data using their favored methods.This ...

Feed: Recent Announcements. Amazon EC2 bare metal instances provide your applications with direct access to the Intel® Xeon® Scalable processor and memory resources of the underlying server. These instances are ideal for workloads that require access to the hardware feature set (such as Intel® VT-x), for applications that need to run in non-virtualized environments for licensing or support requirements, or for customers who wish to use their own hypervisor. Bare metal instances allow EC2 customers to run applications that benefit from deep performance analysis tools, specialized workloads that require direct access to bare metal infrastructure, legacy workloads not supported in ...

By Henry Axelrod, Partner Solutions Architect at AWSBy Kelly Boeckman, Marketing Programs Manager – Storage at AWSServers, networking, and storage. Long has this trinity formed the foundation of IT, and all three are equally critical for any given workload’s success. Storage is self-describing—it’s where data lives. Without source data driving it, system communication doesn’t happen, processes halt, and applications can’t run. Data lives in storage, and storage protects the data. Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) was one of the first services launched by Amazon Web Services (AWS) in 2006. Since ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL High Availability; With the release of version 8.0.16 of MySQL, we’ve added some features to the Group Replication (GR) plugin, in order to enhance its high-availability capacities.
