Data scientists are smart people. If you get them the data, they can create a model that delivers value where there is value to be had. There is nothing more frustrating to a data scientist than being able to do the math but having neither the data to run it against nor the ability for […]

Take, for example, an episode recently reported by machine learning researcher Rich Caruana and his colleagues. They described the experiences of a team at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center who were using machine learning to predict whether pneumonia patients might develop severe complications. The goal was to send patients at low risk for complications […]

Investigation into the five factor model started in 1949 when D.W. Fiske was unable to find support for Cattell’s expansive 16 factors of personality, but instead found support for only five factors. Research increased in the 1980s and 1990s, offering increasing support for the five factor model. The five factor personality traits show consistency in […]

Good nutrition is a essential for good health. Poor nutrition can lead to reduced immunity, increased susceptibility to disease, impaired physical and mental development, and reduced productivity.Despite these risks, many people consume too many foods high in calories, fats, free sugars or salt, and many do not eat enough fruit, vegetables and dietary fibre. Often […]

HUMANITY’S GOT ITSELF a problem. As Homo sapiens balloons as a species—to perhaps nearly 10 billion by 2050—the planet stubbornly stays the same size, meaning the same amount of land must support way, way more people. Add the volatility of global warming and consequent water shortages, and the human race is going to have some […]

There are many improvements in the new PyTorch framework, however the most notable change is the adoption of a Dynamic Computational Graph. There are some lesser known frameworks that have this capability (i.e. Chainer and Dynet), in fact PyTorch borrowed a lot of ideas from Chainer. This capability is also referred to as “Define by […]
