Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: William Vorhies. Summary:  An interesting documentary about the earliest days of AI/ML and my alternate take on how we should really be describing the development of our profession to the newly initiated. What could be more natural in these days of the Corona Virus than binge watching great videos.  I was intrigued by a recent offer from Futurology who has sponsored “The History of Artificial Intelligence” on YouTube for free viewing.  The two-and-a-half-hour video is described as "the culmination of documentaries that cover the history and origins of computing-based artificial intelligence." ...

Feed: IBM Big Data & Analytics Hub - All Content; Author: kevin-oliver; Two of the greatest challenges faced by organizations today are the rising volume of data and the lack of  confidence to act on the insights this data reveals. Fortunately, there are AI-fueled data management solutions that directly address these two challenges to make data simple and accessible.Databases should be both powered by AI and built for AI, meaning they use embedded AI capabilities to improve their day-to-day functionality (powered by AI), while also being able to support AI initiatives throughout the entire business (built for AI). For example, ... Read More

Feed: Radar. Author: Peter Skomoroch and Mike Loukides. Edit note: The increasing push to adopt AI into product, across many industries, puts the intersection of AI and product management into sharp focus. Challenges abound: non-deterministic outcomes, uncertainty (schedule, accuracy, relevance), opacity (models can be difficult to understand and explain), fairness issues, and other factors make AI a difficult sell to decision-makers and upper management. Here, Pete Skomoroch and Mike Loukides layout, in detail and with helpful supporting examples, what makes AI different, how to address those differences, and how product managers can better align their efforts in pragmatic support of ...

Feed: Redis Labs. Author: Kyle Davis. First, let me warn you that I am not a game developer. So this post, which has been rattling around in my head for a number of years now, is partly a look at how a theoretical game would work with Redis but also a metaphor to help readers understand how Redis works.  Phew!  With all that out of the way, let’s talk about implementing a game that is powered by Redis. We’re going to call this game Super Redis Brothers—it’s an action platformer connected to a central server. It stars Redisman, who needs ... Read More

Feed: Planet MySQL; Author: FromDual; On StackExchange for Database Administrators I recently have seen a question which attracted my interest.The question puzzled me a bit because the answer seems too easy. Further the question was not so clear. An all theses factors smell dangerous... About time - was, is and will be How can I find out if the database "was" shutdown slowly? This is quite easy: Look into your MySQL Error Log and there you will find a log sequence similar to the following: 2020-03-30T08:03:36.928017Z 0 [System] [MY-010910] [Server] /home/mysql/product/mysql-8.0.19-linux-glibc2.12-x86_64/bin/mysqld: Shutdown complete (mysqld 8.0.19) MySQL Community Server - GPL.Ups! ...

Feed: Actian. Author: Pradeep Bhanot. Having a lot of data available to you is a good thing, right?  That depends.  Data is a raw material, like a mineral mined from the ground.  It contains a potential for creating value, but that potential is only realized through refinement.Your company produces a lot of data every day (every second really). Merely creating and/or possessing this data doesn’t mean it is generating value for you.  Harvesting value from your company data requires a transformation process to convert data into information, to actionable insights, to decisions, and then to action. Data management professionals, IT ... Read More

Feed: SAS Blogs. Author: Rick Wicklin. During an epidemic, such as the coronavirus pandemic of 2020, the media often shows graphs of the cumulative numbers of confirmed cases for different countries. Often these graphs use a logarithmic scale for the vertical axis. In these graphs, a straight line indicates that new cases are increasing at an exponential rate. The slope of the line indicates how quickly cases will double, with steep lines indicating a short doubling time. The doubling time is the length of time required to double the number of confirmed cases, assuming nothing changes. This article shows one ... Read More

Of course, we’re all thinking about one thing these days, so it seems particularly inconsequential to be writing about anything that doesn’t contribute to solving or addressing in some meaningful way this pandemic crisis. But, I find that working provides a balm from reading and hearing all day about the events ... Read More

Feed: R-bloggers. Author: R on Stats and R. A classic epidemiological model: the SIR model Before diving into the real-life application, we first introduce the model that will be used. There are many epidemiological models but we will use one of the simplest, the SIR model. Tim Churches’ explanation of this model and how to fit it using R is so nice, I will reproduce it here with a few minor changes. The basic idea behind the SIR model (Susceptible – Infectious – Recovered) of communicable disease outbreaks is that there are three groups (also called compartments) of people: those ... Read More
