Gartner recently published a report titled “CIO Agenda 2019: Exploit Transformational Technologies” that states the following: “Whether it’s AI, quantum computing or conversational platforms, digital business is underpinned by technology. But with a seemingly endless amount of technologies to invest in, where are CIOs focused?” Figure 1:  Gartner: AI Tops the List of Game-Changing Technologies But here’s my problem with this list: the important question is not where CIOs are focused.  The real important question is where are CEOs focused? Here’s the problem with the Digital Business or more importantly, the ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Juan Koss. The term "big data" comes up frequently in articles and office discussions, but what does it really mean to utilize big data? Big data: it’s one of those buzzwords you can’t seem to get away from. Though you might have an idea of what it means, there’s likely plenty you don’t know the ins and outs of what it takes to really harness the power of big data. We sat down with Robert Swisher, Chief Technology Officer at Business.com, to get a better idea of what the big deal ... Read More

Understandably, not a lot of people would raise their hands to an intro like that. For me, however, data has sculpted my career path and led to many exciting opportunities over the life of my profession. It hasn't been easy -- I think any entrepreneur would tell you the same and surely the content and media attention around self-starting individuals would concur. But I'm not here to tell you about the hardships of starting a business. Rather, I'm here ... Read More

In this Part 4, we will go through the tools used during the Improve phase of Six Sigma DMAIC cycle. The most representative tool used during the Improve Phase is DOE-Design of experiments. Proper use of DOE can lead to process improvement, but a bad design of experiment can lead to undesired results – inefficiency, higher costs. What is experiment An experiment is a test or series of tests in which ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . As the AI chipset market is becoming crowded, many AI companies have started creating solutions that cater to a niche market. The needs for chipset power, performance, software, and other attributes vary greatly depending on the nature of application. For instance, the Internet of Things (IoT) edge market needs ultra-low power (in milliwatts), mobile phones can work well with power consumption of up to 1 W, drones can consume a bit more, automotive can go from 10 W to 30 W, and so on. Today’s two most prominent architectures are the central processing unit ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Learning Machines. Have you ever thought about why the definition of a function in R is different from many other programming languages? The part that causes the biggest difficulties (especially for beginners of R) is that you state the name of the function at the beginning and use the assignment operator – as if functions were like any other data type, like vectors, matrices or data frames… Congratulations! You just encountered one of the big ideas of functional programming: functions are indeed like any other data type, they are not special – or in programming lingo, functions ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . High mask costs made it hard for chipset startups to raise capital during the early 2000s. Today, mask costs can range up to $25 million and, by some estimates, the design costs for a 12-nanometer (nm) node chip can run as high as $174 million. This made it hard for investors to justify the return on investment (ROI), as most of them demanded a 10X return. Only a few markets offered high volumes for chipsets to generate that kind of revenue. The emergence of AI has opened up many new possibilities for AI chipsets ... Read More

By Shashi Raina, Partner Solution Architect at AWSBy Veda Shankar, Senior Developer Advocate at OmniSciWe generate quintillions of bytes of data every day, but on the face of it the data is not necessarily useful. To make data useful, it should be processed into information. In this post, we’ll talk about how OmniSci, an AWS Partner Network (APN) Standard Technology Partner, provides a platform to make this process of changing data into information faster, cheaper, and interactive. With the rapid growth of data comes the challenge of getting meaningful information from ... Read More

Feed: AWS Compute Blog. Author: Chris Munns. Serverless application architectures enable you to break large projects into smaller, more manageable services that are highly reusable and independently scalable, secured, and evolved over time. As serverless architectures grow, we have seen common patterns that get reimplemented across companies, teams, and projects, hurting development velocity and leading to wasted effort. We have made it easier to develop new serverless architectures that meet organizational best practices by supporting nested applications in AWS SAM and the AWS Serverless Application Repository.How it works Nested applications build off a concept in AWS CloudFormation called nested stacks ...
