Like most people, I believed that process of diagnosing and treating cancer begins with a biopsy.  If cancer is suspected, a doctor will extract a small tissue sample -- usually a tiny cylindrical "core sample" -- and examine it for cancer cells.  No cancer cells found -- that's good news!  But if cancer cells are present, then you have decisions to make about treatment. A young woman named Richa Sehgal taught me that it's not so simple.  There aren't just two types of cells (cancerous and non-cancerous).  There are actually several types of cancer ... 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: 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

Keras is minimalistic, efficient and highly flexible because it works with a modular layer system to define, compile and fit neural networks. It ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Adnan Fiaz. Nowadays whenever I do my work in R there is a constant nagging voice in the back of my head telling me “you should do this in Python”. And when I do my work in Python it’s telling me “you can do this faster in R”. So when the reticulate package came out I was overjoyed and in this blogpost I will explain to you why. re-tic-u-late (rĭ-tĭkˈyə-lĭt, -lātˌ) So what exactly does reticulate do? It’s goal is to facilitate interoperability between Python and R. It does this by embedding a Python session within the R session which enables ... Read More

Hugo: It’s great to have you on the show and I’m really excited to talk about all the things we’re gonna talk about today, the podcast that you worked on for so long, the idea of becoming a data scientist and your journey and process there, but before that I’d like to find out a bit about you. Maybe you can tell us a bit about what you’re known for in the data ... Read More

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Atul Bargaje. We often see security breaches depicted in media and popular culture. In the HBO series Silicon Valley, a compromised refrigerator is used by hacker Gilfoyle to run a malicious piece of software. The reality of connected devices isn’t very different from this fictitious scenario.The compromised refrigerator can send consumer data to unauthorized endpoints. Connected devices such as a connected refrigerator need to be secured to ensure safe operation of IoT applications. However, it can be a challenge for organizations to manage the security of connected devices. Despite ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: David Smith. Author and research engineer Joel Grus kicked off an important conversation about Jupyter Notebooks in his recent presentation at JupyterCon:  There's no video yet available of Joel's talk, but you can guess the theme of that opening slide, and walking through the slides conveys the message well, I think. Yuhui Xie, author and creator of the rmarkdown package, provides a detailed summary and response to Joel's talk, where he lists Joel's main critiques of Notebooks:  Hidden state and out-of-order execution Notebooks are difficult for beginners Notebooks encourage bad habits Notebooks discourage modularity and ...
