Feed: Featured Blog Posts - Data Science Central. Author: Andrea Manero-Bastin. This article was written by Carlos E. Perez. In this post I will explore further the characteristics of Artificial Intuition with the goal of describing a set of patterns that can aid us in formulating novel architectures for Deep Learning. In a previous post, I introduced the idea that there are two distinct cognitive mechanisms, one based on logical inference and another based on intuition. At least 6 decades have been spent exploring cognitive mechanisms based on logical inference without making much progress towards AGI. Deep Learning, a breakthrough ... Read More

AWS IoT Analytics is a fully-managed service that makes it easy to run sophisticated analytics on massive volumes of IoT data without having to worry about the cost and complexity typically required to build an analytics platform. You can setup the service to collect only the data you need from your devices, apply mathematical transforms to process the data, and enrich the data with device-specific metadata such as device type and location before storing the processed data in a time-series data store for analysis. Then, you can analyze the processed data by running ad hoc or scheduled ... Read More

Feed: Recent Announcements. For retailers specifically, not all SKUs are treated equally. Usually 80% of revenue is driven by 20% of SKUs, and retailers look to optimize forecasting accuracy for those top 20% SKUs. Although you can create a separate forecasting model for the top 20% SKUs, the model’s ability to learn from relevant items outside of the top 20% is limited and accuracy may suffer. Further, retailers may prefer to over-stock certain SKUs or under-stock others, and would prefer to train one model but assess forecasting accuracy for different SKUs at different stocking levels.  To evaluate forecasting accuracy at ...
