Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Olha Zhydik. Neural networks have made significant leaps in the image and natural language processing (NLP) recently. They’ve not only learned to recognise, localise and segment images; they’re now able to effectively translate natural language and answer complex questions. One of the precursors to such massive progress was the introduction of Seq2Seq and neural attention models – enabling neural networks to become more selective about the data they’re working with at any given time. One of the precursors to such massive progress was the introduction of Seq2Seq and neural attention models – enabling neural networks ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Inge Krogstad. IT managers see the potential for cost-cutting from transitioning application development to open source software (OSS). Today, companies can hire recent college graduates with skills in open source development and avail themselves of the free software. But is all that glitters really gold? Users groups and more formal workgroups are experiencing an avalanche of new routines that have been made available. And users are now sharing programs along with their own cutting-edge ideas, whether based on R, Python, Tensorflow, or another programming language or library. Therefore, it has to be assumed that business leaders ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. In our previous blog posts, we discussed the capabilities and functioning of PostgreSQL Automatic Failover (PAF) by Cluster Labs and Replication Manager (repmgr) by 2ndQuadrant. In the final post of this series, we will review the last solution, Patroni by Zalando, and compare all three at the end so you can determine which high availability framework is best for your PostgreSQL hosting deployment. Patroni for PostgreSQL Patroni originated as a fork of Governor, a project from Compose. It is an open-source tool suite, written in Python, for managing high availability of PostgreSQL clusters. Instead of building its ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Author: Lindsay Betzendahl. AboutInitially, I had this down the side, but after further thought, I realized I wanted the personal section to be the first someone would read. For me, it was important for people to read this biographical resume and feel like they know me—what makes me interesting, what I like, and why might you want me to work with you. Additionally, I wanted to give it more space because I chose to use some custom images I made in PowerPoint. Creating images to enhance a visualization is something I do a lot, so I wanted ...

Author: . The Financial Services industry is in the midst of widespread disruption as they experience both phenomenal growth and unprecedented competition. What key change drivers are pushing this disruption? Will traditional financial service providers be able to keep up, or will disruptive competitors take the lead? Driver #1: APAC & MENA Coming In Strong In the past, North America and Europe may have been considered the homeland of financial institutions. However, as globalization increases and smartphones revolutionize access to the internet, this focus is shifting. Strengthening capabilities in the Asia Pacific (APAC) and Middle East and North Africa (MENA) regions ... Read More

Feed: What's New. Author: Anton Grinevskij. In order to predict my expenses in different cities, I am relying on the cost of living index. The index is a relative expensiveness of a city, expressed in percentage compared to New York City, which has a value of 100. Since my raw budget data has zip codes, not cities, I need a way to convert them. I’ll take advantage of the Python integration to programmatically look up the city that each zip code belongs to. This process is as simple as adding a script step, pointing it to a Python script file, ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: eoda GmbH. What does a modern analytics platform need to offer companies real added value? Why is the administration of user and role rights a factor not to be underestimated when using analytics platforms? In the previous article, we showed how important an intuitive user interface and an open user group concept are for the company-wide use of data science. Now we are developing the idea further – without intelligent user and role management, this concept simply cannot work. Rights and roles as the first step to new functions! As a rule, platforms for the use of ... Read More

Feed: Cloud Data Transformation Software | Matillion. Author: Arawan Gajajiva, Solution Architect; “How secure is my data in the cloud?” That’s been the first question on everyone’s mind since the dawn of cloud computing. Think back even further to the early days of and e-commerce data security. Consumers want to keep their sensitive payment and personally identifiable information (PII) data safe. And they were initially reluctant to give up their information, even for the convenience of shopping and banking online. Eventually, people gained peace of mind that their data would be secure, first in on-premises servers and with data security ... Read More

Feed: Planet big data. Author: Andrew Hogan. As part of my research about data science and design, I spoke with Ovetta Sampson, design research lead at IDEO, a global design company. Sampson’s advice that stood out most to me about how to improve the use of data in the design of better experiences: Stop thinking about data scientists as “that nerdy guy or girl behind the scenes.” Instead, she says, think about them as designers who happen to use data to craft experiences. This echoes a similar sentiment heard at last month’s San Francisco Design Week during a session titled ... Read More
