Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Jay Nair. Cognitive Computing is often used interchangeably with artificial intelligence, not that it’s entirely incorrect. MIT Sloan School of Business, for instance, defines the term as a system that adaptively utilizes underlying algorithms or processing with exposure to new data. It wasn’t always a hot trend though. The present dictates otherwise, with much of the steam being attributed to the: Massive Computing Power of New-Generation Computers Greatly Increased Capacity of Storage Devices (Petabytes of Data on Cloud) Effortless and Fluid Access to Digital Data This was an expected outcome, with ...

Feed: Teradata Blog. The traditional companies took a century to grow their first 100 million customers. In contrast, the internet giants have evolved at a much faster pace. With companies like Google and Facebook ‘hyperscaling’ in 10 to 20 years, they have set an unparalleled pace for every industry.  So what’s behind the hyperscalable business model? It turns out that the algorithm is the Internet’s billion dollar unicorn, transforming and innovating faster than humans. The New Ingredients Behind Successful AI Deployments The companies succeeding with AI are taking advantage of today’s technology landscape to drive new developments and innovation. They ...

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. he fourteenth annual worldwide R user conference, useR!2018, was held last week in Brisbane, Australia and it was an outstanding success. The conference attracted around 600 users from around the world and — as the first held in the Southern hemisphere — brought many first-time conference-goers to useR!. (There were also a number of beginning R users as well, judging from the attendance at the beginner's tutorial hosted by R-Ladies.) The program included 19 3-hour workshops, 6 keynote presentations, and more than 200 contributed talks, lightning talks and posters on using, extending, and deploying R. If you ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: MySQL Performance Blog; Peter Zaitsev | July 18, 2018 |  Posted In: Benchmarks, Insight for DBAs, MySQL, open source databases, Percona Server for MySQL PREVIOUS POST If you’re reading consumer SSD reviews and using them to estimate SSD performance under database workloads, you’d better stop. Databases are not your typical consumer applications and they do not use IO in the same way. Let’s look, for example, at this excellent AnandTech review of Samsung 960 Pro –  a consumer NVMe device that I happen to have in my test lab. The summary table is actually great, showing the performance both ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Olivier Bloch. The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the go-to solutions for executives looking for more and better insights about their business. Collectively, IoT is made up of a network of devices and sensors, otherwise known as things, which connect to a company’s network and the cloud by various means. These devices generate data about the organization and its operations, and stream it to data stores and apps where it can be analyzed and acted upon. The resulting insights enable organizations to take action in response to something that has already happened, or ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Diego Tamburini. The story of predictive maintenance (PdM) starts back in the 1990s. Technologies began to arrive that sense the world in new ways: ultrasound, infrared, thermal, vibration, to name a few. However, until recently the technology has not been available to make predictive maintenance a reality. But now, with advances in cloud storage, machine learning, edge computing, and the Internet of Things — predictive maintenance looms as the next step for the manufacturing industry. What is predictive maintenance? There are three strategies for machine maintenance: Reactive — the “don’t fix what isn’t broken” approach ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. PGDay Amsterdam regrouped more than 90 PostgreSQL fans (according to Devrim) on 12 July 2018. It was for me a really nice day and I’d like to share it with you. User feedbacks, PostgreSQL internals, tools,… the topics covered were pretty wide. Jan Karremans first started with Why I picked Postgres over Oracle? Jan shared with us some of the lessons he learned during his journey: weigh your needs (what do you need? what does your project need?); don’t be afraid, you are not alone; PostgreSQL is the best hidden secret. Inspired by Dimitri Fontaine and his ... Read More

Is it the right time for you to move? Let’s break down a few factors that may have you considering a cloud migration sooner rather than later.  If Scalability Is Becoming Critical Constantly changing ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Peter. I recently read an article by Strategy& on the Internet of Things (IoT) entitled “A Strategist’s Guide to the Internet of Things”.  This article begins with the current state of electronic world.  There will be 50 billion Internet responsive devices by 2020, and only a third will be smart devices. The rest will be…well, hard to put into a single word.  They will range from smart appliances to RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification) chips and populate nearly everything so long as there is meaningful information worth mining.  According to the article, there are three broad strategic ...
