Such technology as AI existed for years yet experienced a significant popularity boost just a few years ago. Today, it’s far from being a futuristic thing used by the evil geniuses to conquer the planet. Instead, Artificial Intelligence became a cutting-edge tool to improve the lives of millions by assisting us with our job, studies, home duties, and even relationships. There’s no need to mention that AI start-ups are the ones to run the IT industry: $37.5 billion was spent on the start-ups…

We have a once in a lifetime opportunity to address one of modern society’s biggest challenges – the choice between healthcare or the economy. For the past several decades, we have treated this as an “either or” choice between one or the other; that to improve the economy we must reduce healthcare spending or to improve healthcare we must sacrifice the economy. To that sort of thinking I say BULL!
The coronavirus COVID-19 situation is showing us a very…

Did you ever wonder what’s a typical day of a data scientist like? A data scientist needs to explore data given to us and provide actionable insights, but how do we do that and is that all we do? Do we just sit in-front of a computer and code all day? Do we spend most of our day reading papers? Or is it something completely different? Let me walk you…

Here are some (very) early outputs from an Agent-Based Model of COVID-19 that I'm currently developing.
It allows configuring a number of parameters including:

Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning models have demonstrated significant power to grow and improve businesses. We have found that the best approach to AI production is what venture capitalists do when they evaluate and invest in startups.
A 2019 McKinsey survey found that a majority of executives whose companies have adopted AI solutions report that these solutions have provided an uptick in revenue, and 44 percent say that AI has reduced costs.…

Have you ever experience a situation where you want to import and combine hundred of datasets? If you do this manually, then it will take too much time. On the other hand, we can use a simple R programming to solve this problem in easily and quickly. Therefore, I would like to share two methods of combining all small files in a directory into a single dataset…

Edge computing moves workloads from centralized locations to remote locations and it can provide faster response from AI applications. Edge computing devices are getting deployed increasingly for monitoring and control of real world processes like people tracking, vehicle recognition, pollution monitoring etc. The data collected at the devices gets transported to centralized cloud servers over data pipelines and are used to train machine learning models. Training models needs lot…

To extract data from websites, you can take advantage of data extraction tools like Octoparse. These tools can pull data from websites automatically and save them into many formats such as Excel, JSON, CSV, HTML, or to your own database via APIs. It only takes a few minutes to extract thousands of lines of data, and the best part is…

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused organizations to find different ways to maintain their operations amid calls for increased social distance. In some cases, employees have been asked to work from home in order to reduce the amount of social interaction in the workplace. Due to this emerging distance between these workers and their employers, I suggest that quantitative reduction will become more likely: for these employees, performance will be increasingly unrelated to their social presence…

How do we increase diversity amongst our event speakers? To improve something, we must first measure it. The Face API allows us to collect some of these demographics from past events that we may not otherwise be able to collect, which may allow us greater insight into how we can improve these trends.
The Facial Recognition API is part of the Microsoft AI Cognitive Services suite. The Face service detects human faces in an image and returns the rectangle coordinates of their…

If you've been keeping up on the statistics for Covid-19 in the last week (and who hasn't?), you've probably noticed a wide variety of projections for deaths in the United States, ranging from the "best-case" scenario (327 people) to the "doomsday" figure (2.2 million). Recent statistics published include:

With the onset of the COVID-19 outbreak, we look at the data and use a simple model inspired by China’s example to predict when the outbreak will abate in various countries.
Forecasts: https://www.codoma.tech/blog/covid19-forecast/ (updated daily)
The forecasts tell us that we, every human being, need to keep following the measures (social distancing,…

At time of crisis, everyone is scrambling for the latest news for signals of changes and make decisions to mitigate risk. Average person uses common sense to draw inference on relevancy. For example, as the Coronavirus Crisis evolves, many decided to hog up bathroom tissue. As much as it is common sense for many, it simply does not make sense. However, when it is evaluated against aggregated common sense, we can eliminate many of these signals.
In financial modeling, analyst…
