Feed: Feed | Tractica. Author: . As vehicles grow increasingly connected and become packed with sensors, artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies have the potential to play a significant role in the human-machine interface (HMI). Voice-enabled smart assistants for car controls, infotainment, and more will likely become the leading HMI in the coming era of the connected car. With momentum and regulatory demand (such as Europe’s New Car Assessment Program [NCAP]) for driver and occupant monitoring, emotion recognition and gesture recognition will become more prominent elements of HMI.  With increasingly sophisticated computer vision algorithms, on-board compute power and next-generation windscreen and other ...

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Rick Wicklin. Statisticians often emphasize the dangers of extrapolating from a univariate regression model. A common exercise in introductory statistics is to ask students to compute a model of population growth and predict the population far in the future. The students learn that extrapolating from a model can result in a nonsensical prediction, such as trillions of people or a negative number of people! The lesson is that you should be careful when you evaluate a model far beyond the range of the training data. The same dangers exist for multivariate regression models, but they are ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Bill Schmarzo. Key topics of this blog: Economies of scalehave historically given large enterprises unsurmountable market advantages through the exploitation of mass production, distribution and marketing. In Digital Transformation, “Economies of Learning”are more powerful than “Economies of Scale” because of the ability to learn and deploy those learnings within digital assets faster. Classic ERP “Big Bang”approachto deploying technology is giving way to use-case-by-use-case approach that enables learnings from one use case to be reapplied to future use cases. “Curated” data in the Data Lakebecomes the foundation for collaborating with business stakeholders ...
