Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Vincent Granville. Here I share my predictions as well as personal opinion about the pandemic. My thoughts are not derived from running sophisticated models on vast amounts of data. Much of the data available has major issues anyway, something I am also about to discuss. There are some bad news and some good news. This article discusses what I believe are the good news and bad news, as well a some attempt at explaining people behavior and reactions, and resulting consequences. My opinion is very different from what you have read ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Matthew Stainer. "We could have a session, on a new 'cool' machine learning technique". A while ago, when discussing sentiment analysis and how individuals phrase things differently, a colleague of mine dryly noted: "for Jason everything is cool, the day Matthew describes something as cool, then I'll take notice". In my defence, I think 'cool' is a subjective thing. I think that Sebastião Salgado's photography is cool, as is Cognitive psychology, 1990's Trip Hop music and a 'cool' day for me, can be one spent pottering in my garden. But I'll admit it's not a word I use ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Logan berger. The pandemic has shown how vulnerable our supply chains are. A small interruption can bring a supply chain to a halt, which in today’s fast-paced world, is simply not acceptable. Customers are always expecting their product to arrive on time when ordered, and any delay in the supply chain can have significant consequences for organisations. What today’s supply chains require is speed, agility and flexibility to respond quickly to changes in demand. The pandemic has shown us that demand and requirements can change rapidly, and those organisations that were ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Kurt Cagle. Network graphs play a large part in both computing and data science, and they are essential for working with (and visualizing) both semantic graphs and property graphs. Nearly thirty years ago, AT&T produced a set of libraries called graphviz which were designed to generate various types of printed output. Over the years, the library has been adapted for different platforms and roles, and today is still one of the most widely used network graph visualization tools around. One of the most common libraries associated with graphviz is the DOT ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Robert R. Tucci. Daphne Koller is the leader of a mega-startup (Insitro) that uses Machine Learning (do they use Causal Bayesian Networks???) to do drug research. She also co-founded Coursera with Andrew Ng, and she co-wrote with  Nir Friedman a 1200 page book about Probabilistic Graphical Models (e.g., Bayesian Networks) Judea Pearl won a Turing award (commonly referred to as the Nobel prize of computer science) for his work on Bayesian Networks and Causal AI. Recently, I posted a Tweet about Daphne Koller to which Judea Pearl responded with a question ... Read More

Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Hitesh Dsouza. Humans don’t start their thinking from scratch every second. As you read this essay, you understand each word based on your understanding of previous words. You don’t throw everything away and start thinking from scratch again. Your thoughts have persistence. Traditional neural networks can’t do this, and it seems like a major shortcoming. For example, imagine you want to classify what kind of event is happening at every point in a movie. It’s unclear how a traditional neural network could use its reasoning about previous events in the film ... Read More

Feed: Planet PostgreSQL. By Ryan Lambert -- Published November 29, 2020A few months ago I started experimenting with a few project ideas involving data over space and time. Naturally, I want to use Postgres and PostGIS as the main workhorse for these projects, the challenge was working out exactly how to pull it all together. After a couple false starts I had to put those projects aside for other priorities. In my free time I have continued working through some related reading on the topic. I found why you should be using PostGIS trajectories by Anita Graser and recommend reading ... Read More
