Do Business Intelligence Providers Trust Domain Experts? It Certainly Doesn’t Seem Like It
n this special guest feature, Rob Woollen, CEO and Co-Founder of Sigma Computing, asks why rely solely on data analysts when you have a full team of experts that know their domain? Instead of simply sitting back and hoping for a eureka moment for your business, it’s time to level out the playing field for empowered data discovery — across all business teams.
Columbia University DSI Alumni Use Machine Learning to Discover Coronavirus Treatments
Two graduates of the Data Science Institute (DSI) at Columbia University are using computational design to quickly discover treatments for the coronavirus. Andrew Satz and Brett Averso are chief executive officer and chief technology officer, respectively, of EVQLV, a startup creating algorithms capable of computationally generating, screening, and optimizing hundreds of millions of therapeutic antibodies. They apply their technology to discover treatments most likely to help those infected by the virus responsible for COVID-19.

For Service Providers, Big (network) Data is the New “Oil”
In this special guest feature, Alex Pavlovic, Director, Product Marketing, Nokia Deepfield, discusses “Data is the new oil,” a phrase coined by The Economist, that has become the mantra for describing the platform-based economy driven by hyperscale players such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Microsoft and Netflix. To reach their global audience, these webscale giants need the ubiquitous connectivity provided by service providers and their networks. These networks generate and store vast amounts of data on networks, infrastructure and services.
Lowering the Barrier to Entry for Cloud Computing is the Key to Scientific Discovery
In this special guest feature, Ivan Ravlich, Co-Founder and CEO of Hypernet Labs, points out how the cloud industry needs to offer more accessible options to scientists and researchers who need to process large amounts of data. Containerizing scientific applications is a major step forward.

Field Report: KDD 2019
As a very long time member of the ACM and their SIGKDD group, I’d always wanted to attend a KDD conference (first one occurred in 1995). This year I received a gracious invitation to attend KDD2019 in Anchorage, Alaska, August 4-8. It satisfied two of my bucket list items: witnessing a KDD first-hand and also visiting Anchorage. I was not disappointed with the experience! What follows is my “Field Report,” a travel log if you will, chronicling my observations, both technical and cultural. KDD is touted as being “the premier interdisciplinary conference bringing together researchers and practitioners from data science, [READ MORE…]
