Sharing data sets for collaboration or publication has always been challenging, but it’s become increasingly problematic as complex and high dimensional data sets have become ubiquitous in the life sciences. Studies are large and time consuming; data collection takes time, data analysis is a moving target, as is the software used to carry it out. In the vaccine space (where I work) we analyze collections of high-dimensional immunological data sets from a variety of different technologies (RNA sequencing, cytometry, multiplexed antibody binding, and others). These data often arise from clinical ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  Purpose Built Analytic Modules (PBAMs) such as those for Fraud Detection represent a fourth way to practice data science, a new model for the good use of Citizen Data Scientists, and a new market for AI-first companies. It appears that data science has exited its age of exploration and entered into its age of consolidation and refinement.  That doesn’t mean that we aren’t making improvements but increasingly these tend to be incremental and not the big exciting break throughs we made through about 2016.  More like a mission ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Andreas Gödde. Innovation labs have been around for a while, and they come in many shapes and sizes. Innovation labs have been around for a while, and they come in many shapes and sizes. Some are internal to large organisations, while others are associated with research practices. As an academic institution, RWTH Aachen University invites companies to join the European 4.0 Transformation Centre (E4TC). I caught up with Thomas Garzten, managing director of the centre, to find out more about how to make innovation labs work. Thomas, tell me more about E4TC, and what you do here. E4TC ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: business-science.io - Articles. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to change industries across the board, yet few organizations are able to capture its value and realize a real return-on-investment. The reality is that the transition to AI and data driven analysis is difficult and not well understood. The issue is twofold, first, the necessary technology to complete such a task has only recently become mainstream, and second, most data scientists are inexperienced in their respective industries. However, with all the uncertainty surrounding this topic, one hedge fund has managed to navigate through these challenges and accomplish what ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: Gary Stevens; The deep web and dark web are terms that have enjoyed plenty of headlines in recent years. You could conclude — wrongly, it turns out — that nothing exists in that seedy cyber alley except for deals that involve contract killing, illegal drugs, human trafficking, weapons, pornography and other not-so-nice products and services. The Silk Road, a website synonymous with shady dealings, was shut down twice by the FBI and its founder, the Dread Pirate Roberts, also known as Ross Ulbricht, imprisoned for life. The deep web and dark web aren’t the same thing, though ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Gerhard Svolba. It is my third time in San Francisco, and again I am highly impressed by the great architecture of the Golden Gate Bridge. This time I take a boat over to Sausalito at the other side of the bay. The museum there tells about the diverse history of the village and also, of course, the construction of the bridge. The statement and picture of Eddie Souza, a worker at the bridge, catches my attention. “… That was the Depression and lots of unemployed men out of work were hanging on the fence of the ...

During that time, I've learned a thing or six about data management and analytics. In today's post, I'll impart some related lessons based upon my years of experience as a practitioner. Data management often serves as an excuse not to embrace analytics Sadly, I've seen this movie more than once. An executive or group is all hopped up to start analyzing data and discovering fascinating insights. There's only one problem: The ... Read More

Feed: Microsoft Azure Blog. Author: Pui Chee Chan. Last year at Jenkins World, we announced Jenkins on Azure support for Kubernetes. We shipped the Azure Container Agent which allows you to scale out to Azure and run a Jenkins Agent on Azure Container Instances (ACI) and/or Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Using the Kubernetes Continuous Deploy or Deploy to Azure Container Services (AKS) plugins, you can deploy containers to Kubernetes. Back in April, we published a blog post in Kubernetes.io sharing with the community how to achieve Blue/Green deployment to Azure Container Services (AKS). Some questions remained to be answered though: ... Read More

Feed: DivvyCloud. Author: David Mundy; An organization that has transitioned to a cloud provider such as Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or any combination thereof should immediately be thinking about the configuration of cloud services as a key element to security. Many IT leaders and professionals make the mistake of approaching security in the cloud the same way they approached security in a traditional data center. However, in the software-defined world of public cloud, there is an added wrinkle.  Without a holistic approach to security which includes a view of configuration, you can easily open yourself up ...
