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: AWS Big Data Blog. Bushfires are frequent events in the warmer months of the year when the climate is hot and dry. Countries like Australia and the United States are severely impacted due to the bushfires causing devastating effects to human lives and property. Over the years the prediction of bushfires has been a subject of study in various research projects. Many of these projects use complex machine learning algorithms. These algorithms learn to predict the bushfires from the real-time spread for the fire over a particular geographical region­.In this blog post, we use event processing paradigm provided by ...

Feed: AWS Big Data Blog. RStudio Server provides a browser-based interface for R and a popular tool among data scientists. Data scientist use Apache Spark cluster running on  Amazon EMR to perform distributed training. In a previous blog post, the author showed how you can install RStudio Server on Amazon EMR cluster. However, in certain scenarios you might want to install it on a standalone Amazon EC2 instance and connect to a remote Amazon EMR cluster. Benefits of running RStudio on EC2 include the following:Running RStudio Server on an EC2 instance, you can keep your scientific models and model artifacts ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: ajit jaokar. Introduction Recently, google launched a Dataset search – which is a great resource to find Datasets.  In this post, I list some IoT datasets which can be used for Machine Learning or Deep Learning applications. But finding datasets is only part of the story.  A static dataset for IoT is not enough i.e. some of the interesting analysis is in streaming mode. To create an end to end streaming implementation from a given dataset, we need knowledge of full stack skills. These are more complex (and in high demand) ... Read More
