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…

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…

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…

CS 106A is Stanford University’s introductory programming course. The module – which is also available to view on YouTube – introduces the fundamentals of coding in an accessible way, and lays the foundations for…

Why developers prefer Google's Angular app development for their projects? Keep reading to find out!

Mobile app development is gaining popularity all over the world. Businesses are trying to incorporate this tech into their process in order to bridge the gap between the users and…

Consistent asset health across many levels from cell sites to regions is critical to ensure uninterrupted operations for telecom operators. However, proactively identifying anomalous patterns like equipment malfunction remains a major challenge. Drawing on Subex’s deep implementation experience, this paper describes the chief steps necessary to deploy successful pattern detection solutions. It also examines some high impact use cases for pattern detection that have systematically delivered…

The model-free, data-driven technique discussed here is so basic that it can easily be implemented in Excel, and we actually provide an Excel implementation. It is surprising that this technique does not pre-date standard linear regression, and is rarely if ever used by statisticians and data scientists. It is related to kriging and nearest neighbor interpolation, and apparently first mentioned in 1965 by Harvard scientists working on GIS (geographic information systems). It was referred…

In my previous post, What’s Driving the Future of Work and Professions?, I mentioned PESTLE as a helpful framework for classifying external forces that act on all of us and the companies for which we work.  In this article, I present a list of them for you to consider.  It’s not encyclopedic, but it’s a good…

We’ve created images that reliably fool neural network classifiers when viewed from varied scales and perspectives. This challenges a claim from last week that self-driving cars would be hard to trick maliciously since they capture images from multiple scales, angles, perspectives, and…

If are you an established DevOps engineer, or do you plan to enter DevOps?. Forrester, the leading consulting firm, labeled 2018 as 'the year of enterprise DevOps' and predicts DevOps being adopted by 50 percent of companies all over the world.

How much time is required to learn DevOps?

• DevOps learning calls for constant commitment, desire and enthusiasm. The DevOps training will take between one week and several…

The educational sector had already been gradually embracing technology when the coronavirus came along. This substantial change has also accelerated the industry’s efforts to evaluate and embrace newer technologies. It offers the potential to lend assistance further and aid their many efforts to deliver quality education. This search has led to the emergence…

The varying needs of patients and the growing need for better management of healthcare have driven companies to look for answers and help from technology. Suffice it to say that technology answered the call and how! While there are plenty of technology-driven resources that offer quality help. None has proven to be quite as potent as the Internet of Things, which is essentially a network of devices connected via the internet. In the context of healthcare, it empowers healthcare providers…

From The Editor's Desk

This version of the DSC Weekly Digest is running a bit late, in part because the editor (me), as a data junkie, has been a bit preoccupied watching the always engaging and occasionally horrifying sport known as the US Election. This is when all of us become data scientists - running the numbers, building models to see what happens if candidate A wins this state or fails to win that one, causing cascading Bayesian effects percolating through the ECNN - the…
