Guest blog post by Imranali.

A smoothly running sensor data analytics tool may be just as difficult to manage as a symphony orchestra. Because every musician in an orchestra – and every part of an IoT system – needs to work properly and ‘harmonize’ with the others. But how do conductors make their orchestras work so nicely and sound so heavenly instead of creating a mismanaged…

Guest blog by Yoel Zeldes.

This post describes:

• what the Gumbel distribution is
• how it is used for sampling from a discrete distribution
• how the weights that affect the distribution's parameters can be trained
• how to use all of that in a toy example (with code)

In this post you will learn what the Gumbel-softmax trick is. Using this trick, you can sample from a discrete…

This is my presentation for the IBM data science day, July 24.

Abstract

After reviewing popular techniques used in supervised, unsupervised and semi-supervised machine learning, we focus on feature selection methods in these different contexts, especially the metrics used to assess the value of a feature or set of features, be it binary, continuous or categorical…

If you are an engineer working for a company like Boeing, have processed and leveraged data extensively over years of professional experience, used data science tools and programming languages, and have success stories, you are de facto a data scientist even if you think you are not, in this case an industrial data scientist, as opposed for instance, to a marketing data scientist. And you are hireable as a data scientist.

If you have a PhD in history, has little experience…
