Make room for AI applications in the data center architecture

Although the concept of artificial intelligence has been around since the '50s, its mainstream application in IT is just beginning to surface. By 2021, workloads such as deep learning and AI will be important factors for data center designs and architectures, according to Gartner research.

Seattle Zestimates are off by $40,000; now hundreds of data crunchers vie to improve Zillow's model

Seattle Zestimates are off by $40,000; now hundreds of data crunchers vie to improve Zillow's model

Zillow says the gap between man and machine is narrowing in the quest to predict home values, but its Zestimates are still off by an average of nearly $40,000 for a house sold in Seattle today. Now a $1 million prize is being dangled to whoever invents a better housetrap.

A future with highways full of self-driving cars or robot friends that can actually hold a decent conversation may not be far away. That's because we're living in the middle of an " artificial intelligence boom" - a time when machines are becoming more and more like the human brain.

Optymyzing sales forecasting - measuring what needs to be measured

Optymyzing sales forecasting - measuring what needs to be measured

Sales forecasting is one of those business activities that is more art than science. Predicting future sales is tough as future results will be affected by: Macro-economic trends (e.g., GDP changes, currency fluctuations, etc.) Competitor pricing changes Changes in one's own sales team, territories, etc.

When you watch its first attempts to flop across on the sand, you feel worried that it won't be able to get its body to its final destination. But then it gets a flipper up and digs into the sand just right, and you go from worry to wonder as it starts to slide along.

For Modern Astronomers, It's Learn to Code or Get Left Behind

Astronomer Meredith Rawls was in an astronomy master's program at San Diego State University in 2008 when her professor threw a curveball. "We're going to need to do some coding," he said to her class. "Do you know how to do that?" Not really, the students said.

We Still Know Very Little About How AI Thinks

We Still Know Very Little About How AI Thinks

Most of the AI we know today operates on a principle of deep learning: a machine is given a set of data and a desired output, and from that it produces its own algorithm to solve it. The system then repeats, perpetuating itself. This is called a neural network.
