Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: ajit jaokar. This post is a part of my forthcoming book on Mathematical foundations of Data Science. In this post, we use the Perceptron algorithm to bridge the gap between high school maths and deep learning. Welcome comments Background As part of my role as course director of the Artificial Intelligence: Cloud and Edge Computing at the University..., I see more students who are familiar with programming than with mathematics. They have last learnt maths years ago at University. And then, suddenly they find that they encounter matrices, linear algebra etc ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Divya Singh. Introduction After decades of a heavy slog with no promise of success, quantum computing is suddenly buzzing! Nearly two years ago, IBM made a quantum computer available to the world. The 5-quantum-bit (qubit) resource they now call the IBM Q experience. It was more like a toy for researchers than a way of getting any serious number crunching done. But 70,000 users worldwide have registered for it, and the qubit count in this resource has now quadrupled. With so many promises by quantum computing and data science being at ... Read More

Feed: AWS Architecture Blog. In this episode of This is My Architecture, filmed in 2018 on the last day of re:Invent (a learning conference hosted by Amazon Web Services for the global cloud computing community), FICO lead Software Engineer Sven Ahlfeld talks to AWS Solutions Architect Tom Jones about how the company uses a combination of AWS Lambda and AWS Step Functions to architect an on-demand solution for fraud detection and anti-money laundering.When you think of FICO, you probably thing credit score. And that’s true: founded in 1956, FICO introduced analytic solutions–such as credit scoring–that have made credit more widely ... Read More

Feed: Logicworks. Author: Lindsay Syhakhom; Life insurance purchasing rates are at their lowest in 50 years. The process of purchasing life insurance is notoriously complicated. It requires a lengthy application process, health checks, and can take weeks or months for approval. A new digital life insurance startup is looking to revolutionize the life insurance purchasing process. The company has introduced an easy online application process with immediate approval, which relies on innovative, custom software that can underwrite insurance instantly. Their goal is to disrupt the traditional life insurance market and appeal to younger consumers with a transparent, on-demand purchasing process ... Read More

Feed: Logicworks. Author: Lindsay Syhakhom; by Jenelle Kemp, Technical Product Manager, Logicworks Everyone wants to keep their information safe. How can you make certain that the files you or your company have uploaded to the cloud are protected? The need for encryption has become foundational as companies move from private data centers to the cloud. It is a requirement for most compliance standards and may provide legal cover if there is a breach in security. However, many organizations run into trouble when their cloud storage contains a confusing mix of unencrypted and encrypted files – and no idea how they ... Read More

Feed: Cloudwards. Author: James Konik; There are many tools out there to help you get organized. Project management software offers features of all kinds to assist you in planning your work. We’re focusing on a particular way of organizing tasks in this tutorial on how to use a Gantt chart. We’ll explain what a Gantt chart can do for you, then look at how things work on a couple of platforms. First, we’ll look at a simple example in Monday.com, which you can read about in our Monday.com review. Then, we’ll go through a more advanced example with TeamGantt, which ... Read More

Feed: Apple Machine Learning Journal. Author: . Deep neural networks are a milestone technique in the advancement of modern machine perception systems. However, in spite of the exceptional learning capacity and improved generalizability, these neural models still suffer from poor transferability. This is the challenge of domain shift—a shift in the relationship between data collected across different domains (e.g., computer generated vs. captured by real cameras). Models trained on data collected in one domain generally have poor accuracy on other domains. In this article, we discuss a new domain adaptation process that takes advantage of task-specific decision boundaries and the ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R Views. We were recently presented with a problem where the decision maker wanted to understand how their data would naturally group together. The classic technique of k-means clustering was a natural choice; it’s well known, computationally efficient, and implemented in base R via the kmeans() function.Our problem has a slight wrinkle: the decision maker wished to see the data grouped with (nearly) equal sizes. Now, a ‘true’ statistician would tell the client that the right thing to do from a theoretical perspective was to use native k-means results because some centers can simply have more nearby ...

Feed: The Internet of Things on AWS – Official Blog. Author: Rahul Sareen. One of the core tenets of managing IoT devices is provisioning, which is the process of registering a device on a particular platform or a system. When bootstrapping your devices, it’s important to establish mutual authentication between the device and an Internet of Things (IoT) endpoint to prevent threats like man-in-the-middle attacks. Device certificates are by far the most secure means of authentication, and generally the first choice for device identity.In this post, we do a deep dive into how AWS IoT Core and AWS IoT Device Management help ...
