Feed: Google Cloud Big Data and Machine Learning Blog. Author: Google Cloud Big Data and Machine Learning Blog Team. Innovation in data processing and machine learning technology Tuesday, July 11, 2017 By Tahir Fayyaz, Customer Engineer Users of Google BigQuery, the cloud-native data warehouse service from Google Cloud Platform (GCP), have access to an ever-expanding range of public datasets for exploration. Some of these datasets are quite large, however, so connecting to them directly from a dashboard created in Google Data Studio or other tools can cause undesirable latency (or costs if you have exceeded your free trial or tier) ...

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Uri Laserson. I recently joined Cloudera after working in computational biology/genomics for close to a decade. My analytical work is primarily performed in Python, along with its fantastic scientific stack. It was quite jarring to find out that the Apache Hadoop ecosystem is primarily written in/for Java. So my first order of business was to investigate some of the options that exist for working with Hadoop from Python. In this post, I will provide an unscientific, ad hoc review of my experiences with some of the Python frameworks that exist for working with ... Read More

Feed: Cloudera Engineering Blog » Hadoop. Author: Justin Kestelyn. Proper configuration of your Python environment is a critical pre-condition for using Apache Spark’s Python API. One of the most enticing aspects of Apache Spark for data scientists is the API it provides in non-JVM languages for Python (via PySpark) and for R (via SparkR). There are a few reasons that these language bindings have generated a lot of excitement: Most data scientists think writing Java or Scala is a drag, they already know Python or R, or don’t want to learn a new language to write code for distributed computing ...

Feed: What's New. You can now use Apache MXNet v0.10 and TensorFlow v1.1 with the AWS Deep Learning AMIs for Amazon Linux and Ubuntu. Apache MXNet announced version 0.10, available at http://mxnet.io, with significant improvements to documentation and tutorials including updated installation guides for running MXNet on various operating systems and environments, such as NVIDIA’s Jetson TX2. In addition, current tutorials have been augmented with definitions for basic concepts around foundational development components. API documentation is now more comprehensive, with accompanying samples. Python PIP install packages are now available for the v0.10 release, making it easy to install MXNet on ... Read More

Aaron Friedman is a Healthcare and Life Sciences Partner Solutions Architect at AWS Angel Pizarro is a Scientific Computing Technical Business Development Manager at AWS This post is the second in a series on how to build a genomics workflow on AWS. In Part 1, we introduced a general architecture, shown below, and highlighted the three common layers in a batch workflow: Job Batch Workflow In Part 2, you tackle the job layer and package a set of bioinformatics applications into Docker containers and store them in Amazon ECR. We illustrate some common ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL. Author: TwinDB. Usually application do not connect directly to Percona XtraDB Cluster, but go through a proxy – ProxySQL, for instance. However if only one proxy node is used it becomes a single point of failure. Not long ago Marco Tusa wrote about how to configure two ProxySQL nodes in front of XtraDB cluster. If deployed on EC2 instances it doesn’t work that way because Amazon doesn’t allow to assign secondary IP address on an interface. This post describes how to configure highly available ProxySQL with keepalived, proxysql-tools and AWS Elastic Network Interface(ENI).The application connects to a single Virtual IP. The ...

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Ilia Karmanov. Azure offers several ways of deploying a deep-learning model including Windows Web App, Linux Web App, and Azure Container Services. For those less experienced with a Linux environment/containers, Windows Web Apps offers familiar territory. In this post we will deploy a ResNet-18 model to Azure Web Apps and then submit some test pictures to it using a sample HTML interface, and also via python. Demo results HTML interface Python The above screenshot is taken from this notebook. If you wish to run some speed-tests, this notebook on GitHub shows how to submit asyncrochonous ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Dmitry Petrov. It is hardly possible in real life to develop a good machine learning model in a single pass. ML modeling is an iterative process and it is extremely important to keep track of your steps, dependencies between the steps, dependencies between your code and data files and all code running arguments. This becomes even more important and complicated in a team environment where data scientists’ collaboration takes a serious amount of the team’s effort. Today, we are pleased to announce the beta version release of new open source tool ... Read More
