Your custom MDM solution: Don’t make these mistakes (Part 1)
Most MDM implementations will be based on a commercial software product. By relying on a packaged solution, the architectural considerations have been addressed by the software vendor, allowing the project team to focus on the data management considerations. However, there are cases when a custom MDM solution may be needed. When proceeding down the path of custom development for MDM, we have some advice for you:…

In 1917, Darcy W. Thompson, a pioneering mathematical biologist wrote a beautiful and exceptional demonstration about the relation between morphology and biology. Indeed, Thompson introduces its famous and elegant form of varying the Cartesian space as a tool to show the analogies between species. The central thesis of…

Here I will discuss a general framework to process web traffic data. The concept of Map-Reduce will be naturally introduced. Let's say you want to design a system to score Internet clicks, to measure the chance for a click to convert, or the chance to be fraudulent or un-billable. The data comes from a publisher or ad network; it could be Google. Conversion data is limited and poor (some conversions are tracked,…

When I stumbled upon the phrase "Data Scientist" 3 years ago, I immediately recognized it as my best prospect for a productive career. How to start? What are the tools of the trade?
This is the blog post I wish I could have read back then.
Many of the things I list here didn't exist or were unstable until recently.

Many, many moons ago I began my first data science project. It involved a search algorithm for selecting the most probable mode of inheritance for a congenital anomaly given 10,000 two-generation pedigrees. Given the complexity of the algorithm I had to do my own coding: in FORTRAN ! It was tedious to say the least but I felt that I thoroughly knew the ins and outs of the methodology as a consequence writing code.
After that project I discovered a new analytical tool that promised to…

Here are my reactions to the LinkedIn conversation about the "Statistical data scientists". In short, I believe that modern big data needs new ways of processing data, and that data scientists are polyvalent (versatile) with deep expertise in a few domains, across…

The mantra is famous in Hollywood history: "Lions, and Tigers, and Bears. Oh my!" It brought fear to young viewers everywhere. But, as the story goes, it was soon obvious that there was nothing to fear.
With so much Big Data noise, and hype, and pressure (oh my!) pressing in on us from all sides, there is understandable fear and loathing around the concept of Big Data. In my opinion, the way to…
