More data beats better algorithms - By Tyler Schnoebelen
Most academic papers and blogs about machine learning focus on improvements to algorithms and features. At the same time, the widely acknowledged truth is that throwing more training data into the mix beats work on algorithms and features. This post will get down and dirty with algorithms and features vs. training data by looking at a 12-way…

Training an AI Doctor - By Tyler Schnoebelen
Some of the earliest applications of artificial intelligence in healthcare were in diagnosis—it was a major push in expert systems, for example, where you aim to build up a knowledge base that lets software be as good as a human clinician. Expert systems hit their peak in the…

Is AI a dude or a dudette?
The gender of artificial intelligence
By Tyler Schnoebelen,
There’s Apple’s Siri, Microsoft’s Cortana, Amazon’s Alexa, and Nuance’s Nina. Sure, Facebook has “M”, Google has “Google Now”, and Siri’s voice isn’t always that of a woman. But it does feel worth noting that (typically male-dominated) engineering groups routinely give women’s names to the things you issue commands to. Is artificial…

Self-driving cars in cornfields
By Tyler Schnoebelen, June 21, 2016.
You can turn right on red in Iowa. Except not where I was last night, from Washington Street on to Linn, which I only realized as I read the “no right on red” sign mid-turn. You’re definitely not supposed to turn left on red, which is what I did a few blocks earlier going from Iowa St. to Clinton. I have no excuse except—I’m not kidding—my mind was preoccupied by thoughts about self-driving…

Ten Favorite Open Data Libraries by Justin Tenuto
There are precious few things that everybody adores. Once you get past breakfast in bed and two dollar bills, the list starts to look a little barren. But if there's one thing we can agree on as a society it's this: free stuff is good and cool and you want some of it right now.
In the spirit of this immutable law, we've compiled a list of our ten favorite places to find open data. Here they are, in no particular order.…

What skills should data scientists have in 2016?
It's a brand new year and that means you'll be seeing scads of trend pieces this week. As you can probably assume from the title, we're not necessarily immune to that sort of thing…

Why you should use open data to hone your machine learning models
Guest blog by Justin Tenuto
One of the big reasons we created our Data for Everyone initiative is that there simply aren't a ton of great open datasets out there for small businesses, startups, and academics to do work on. Sure, there are plenty of small, toy-sized datasets but those simply aren't big enough to create algorithms that anyone can trust. In fact, our founder Lukas wrote as much in this post:

Analysis about marriage equality in US, based on 25,000 tweets
The data is in and it's conclusive: America loved the marriage equality ruling - by Justin Tenuto
Depending on the sites you frequent and the social media you consume, you might think the Supreme Court's marriage equality ruling went over rather poorly. Maybe you spend a lot of time in the comments section of the National Review or have…

A Database of Police Killings Since 2013 by Justin Tenuto
A while back, we found an interesting dataset online. The URL, killedbypolice.net, is fairly self-explanatory. It's a community-sourced list of all "police-involved fatalities", started in May of 2013, but the data itself was a bit jumbled and messy. Race and gender identifiers were in the same column, dates were inconsistent, and though most entries had a news story, we felt there was more information we wanted to know. We put the dataset…
