Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Simon Prickett. Redis University is pleased to announce the immediate availability of free, self-paced, on-demand online courses. A lot has changed in recent weeks, and many of us are now at home, perhaps a bit more than we’d like to be. To help make this shelter-in-place time as productive as possible, we figured this would be a great time to give the Redis community the chance to complete as many courses as you can, all at your own pace. Take as many courses as you like—just be sure to complete them before they close on May ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Robert R. Tucci. (Qubiter Logo) Check out the following paper unveiled last night in ArXiv: An Open-Source, Industrial-Strength Optimizing Compiler for Quantum Programs, by Robert S. Smith, Eric C. Peterson, Mark G. Skilbeck, Erik J. Davis, https://arxiv.org/abs/2003.13961 This is an exciting development for me since I have been a proponent and practitioner of the art of quantum compilers for a long time. The new "optimized quantum compiler" by Rigetti is a computer program that tackles the problem of searching for the "shortest" quantum circuit. Note, however, that it comes with some ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Przemyslaw Biecek. Remote teaching at my university encouraged me to prepare some video materials for Explanatory Model Analysis techniques, i.e. techniques of exploration, explanation and visualisation of predictive models. The pyramid for Explanatory Model Analysis. Left part is focused on a single observation (instance-level or local explanations). Right part is focused on the whole data set (called dataset level or global explanations). In the first row are raw model predictions and model statistics. The second row is related to the analysis of model parts. The third row describes the profile of model behaviour depending on the values ... Read More

(You can report issue about the content on this page here) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. As a data scientist, I always seek to learn about out new tools and techniques. Although research papers are a great resource to learn, they are mostly either theoretical or lack in hands on explanation. Blogs are a great way to learn if you like me. They are concise, ...

Recently, some colleagues and I attended the 2-day COVID-19 hackathon #wirvsvirus, organized by the German government. Thereby, we’ve developed a great application for simulating COVID-19 curves based on estimations of governmental measure effectiveness (FlatCurver). As there are many COVID-related dashboards and visualizations out there, I thought that gathering the underlying data ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: Learning Machines. Learning Machines proudly presents a guest post by Martijn Weterings from the Food and Natural Products research group of the Institute of Life Technologies at the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland in Sion. The topic of this post will be the fitting with the R-package optim. Food? That sounds like a rather unlikely match for writing a post on a blog about quantitative analysis, however, there is a surprising overlap between these disciplinary fields. For example, whether you model the transport of a flavour molecule or transport of a virus, the type of ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: An Accounting and Data Science Nerd's Corner. I have decided that the world needs another Covid-19 related R package. Not sure whether you agree, but the new package facilitates the direct download of various Covid-19 related data (including data on governmental measures) directly from authoritative sources. It also provides a flexible function and accompanying shiny app to visualize the spreading of the virus. Play around with the shiny app here if you like or hang around to learn more about the package. Why yet another package on Covid-19? There are at least two R packages that provide ... Read More

Feed: Teradata Blog. Much of the world is in a COVID19 quarantine. It is a lockdown that will save lives. But it is also blighting them on a vast scale: domestic violence, mental illness and poverty can all be expected to flourish. And the full impact of the lockdown for the wider global economy is presently unknowable, but grim. The wealthy may have to sit-and-watch hard-won lifesavings evaporate – but for the poor, the self-employed and small business owners it is likely to be much, much worse than that.We may be fighting COVID19 for a year or more – and it ...
