Feed: Tractica. Author: Keith Kirkpatrick. What if your car’s navigation system could simultaneously calculate all of the possible routes from New York City, to Washington, D.C., and account for weather conditions, current and future traffic conditions, road construction, and even traffic signals, providing you with the optimal route in real time? How about an algorithm that would automatically mine through possible compounds to find the most stable one on which to develop a new, life-saving drug?

Stairs and brick wall (source: Pixabay) Check out the "Deep Learning models" sessions at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in San Francisco, September 4-7, 2018.

One-fifth of respondents pointed to a skills gap as one of the reasons they haven’t integrated deep learning, and at the time of the survey, ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Josh Morgan. Whole person analytics can improve access to care by decreasing stigma and discrimination and empowering person-centered care. People across the country (and world) are not getting the care they need. There are many data efforts to address that, but I personally believe traditional analytics are short-sighted, too illness-focused, and remarkably negative. We need to take a more holistic approach to data, policy, and health care, including traditional medical as well as behavioral health. Whole person analytics can improve access to care by decreasing stigma and discrimination and empowering person-centered care. A whole person approach ... Read More

All it takes is a camera, a LinkedIn account and a topic that sparks your curiosity. #VideoTag has also inspired spinoffs. After receiving positive reactions to his original #VideoTag post, Bob Messier, ... Read More

Artificial intelligence (source: Pixabay) Check out the session "Evolutionary computation: The next deep learning" at the Artificial Intelligence Conference in San Francisco, September 4-7, 2018. While AI researchers are racking up ever more impressive successes, in many respects AI seems to be stalled. Significant as the successes are, they’re all around solving specific, well-defined problems. It isn’t surprising that AI or ML can solve such problems. What would be more surprising, and what seems no closer than it was a decade ago, would be steps in the direction of general intelligence or ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: lemonademonkey. Hi everyone!   In this post we’re going to work with time series data, and write R functions to aggregate hourly and daily time series in monthly time series to catch a glimpse of their underlying patterns.

Data about rainfalls, temperature, humidity and in some cases winds, is published in the REM website (Red de Estaciones Meteorológicas, http://www.clima.edu.ar/). Also, here you can download meteorological data (in .csv format) that has been recorded by weather stations around ... Read More
