Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Clint Wheelock. Significant advances have been made during the past few years in the ability of artificial intelligence (AI) systems to recognize and analyze human emotion and sentiment, owing in large part to accelerated access to data (primarily social media feeds and digital video), cheaper compute power, and evolving deep learning capabilities combined with natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision. According to a new report from Tractica, these trends are beginning to drive growth in the market for sentiment and emotion analysis software.Tractica forecasts that worldwide revenue from sentiment and emotion analysis software will ...

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Ben Stockton; Avast is among the best free antivirus software on the market, while Webroot uses different methods to protect your devices, compared to its competitors. To decide which is best, we’re pitting Webroot and Avast against each other in a head-to-head comparison. Although the services cover different markets — with Avast appealing to the masses and Webroot targeting a niche audience — they’re more similar than they are different. That said, some areas, such as protection, are more important than others, pushing one of the services ahead.  This Webroot vs. Avast comparison can’t cover everything, though, ... Read More

Feed: Blog – Hazelcast. Author: Jaromir Hamala. Hazelcast Jet 3.2 introduces stateful map, filter, and flatmap operations, which are very strong primitives. In this blog, I am going to show you how to use stateful filter for detecting and removing duplicate elements in a stream. Why Deduplication? Deduplication is often used to achieve idempotency or effectively-once delivery semantics in messaging systems. Imagine you have a microservices architecture where individual microservices use a message broker to communicate with each other. Achieving exactly-once semantics is a hard problem. If you cannot have exactly-once then you are typically left with at-most-once and at-least-once ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Ron Cody. The t-test is a very useful test that compares one variable (perhaps blood pressure) between two groups. T-tests are called t-tests because the test results are all based on t-values. T-values are an example of what statisticians call test statistics. A test statistic is a standardized value that is calculated from sample data during a hypothesis test. It is used to determine whether there is a significant difference between the means of two groups. With all inferential statistics, we assume the dependent variable fits a normal distribution. When we assume a normal distribution exists, ... Read More

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: R-bloggers. Author: Learning Machines. It has been an old dream to teach a computer to see, i.e. to hold something in front of a camera and let the computer tell you what it sees. For decades it has been exactly that: a dream – because we as human beings are able to see, we just don’t know how we do it, let alone be precise enough to put it into algorithmic form. Enter machine learning! As we have seen in Understanding the Magic of Neural Networks we can use neural networks for that. We have to show the network ... Read More

Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: Mark Beccue. Facebook Messenger is becoming a real force in the enterprise virtual digital assistant (VDA) space as a host platform/channel. The greatly publicized number of 100,000 chatbots on the platform may be slightly misleading in terms of how Tractica defines the key enterprise use cases for chatbots. However, over the next few years, the Messenger platform is well positioned to become a significant channel for business application VDAs. Claims that Messenger is compelling for both enterprises and consumers may be a reach. Facebook reported that, as of September 2017, there were 1.3 billion monthly ... Read More
