AI adds tremendous value to IoT, but it is still a long way from having a technical, legal, economic and political environment to dramatically impact smart city IoT use cases. Government CIOs developing smart city strategies should exploit AI progressively to balance benefits and risks. Overview Key Challenges "Identifying use cases for AI" is ranked among the top challenges by Gartner's Research Circle members, implying a long way for AI to dramatically impact the smart city

From Microsoft PowerBI blog: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/whats-new-for-sql-server-2019-analysis-services-ctp-3-0/ This is the first blog post dedicated to Analysis Services on the Power BI blog. As discussed in this poston the old Analysis Services team blog, Microsoft is moving off MSDN and TechNet blogs. We have made it clear that Power BI will be a one-stop shop for both enterprise and self-service BI on a single, all-inclusive platform. Power BI will be a sup

It is an exercise in stating the obvious to say we are living in a rapidly changing world, where technology is both one of the most disruptive and exciting influences on our society. Yet change is constant, and something that we have experienced forever – in the 17th century King Henry IV of France wished for all his people to have “a chicken in every pot.” Fast forward 300 years to 1977 and Bill Gates’ vision was for a “computer on every desk and in every home” and now with

How are artificial intelligence (AI) and Automation different? Don’t they both offer options of hands-free, robotic style design? Often times we use automation and artificial intelligence interchangeably, but they are very different. We think of them all as just “robots” while not fully understanding what is powering the robot’s intelligence. However, there is a pretty big difference between Artificial Intelligence and Automation. It’s almost like comparing apples to oranges.

Summary: Advanced analytics and AI are the fourth great lever available to create organic improvement in corporations. We’ll describe why this one is different from the first three and why the CEO needs the direct help of data scientists to make this happen. If you’re a CEO or any other flavor of top executive leading a large company (or if you’re a data scientists trying to help one) then the mission to create continuous improvement is obvious. Ultimately you probably thi

Being in a highly technical, complex field it is easy to sometimes lose the ‘human aspect’ of the solutions we are developing. We focus on apply edge computing concepts, or whether a seasonality model works better for our predictive accuracy than some other approach. Don't get me wrong, these are all important activities. However, in working with many firms in developing, deploying and supporting advanced analytics solutions, particularly in the domain of the Industrial IoT s

Depending on the business objectives, social media analytics can take four different forms, namely, descriptive analytics, diagnostic analytics, predictive analytics, and prescriptive analytics.Social media data is the new gold and analytics is its digging tool. Social Media Analytics (SMA) is the art and science of extracting valuable hidden business insights from social media media data (Khan, 2015) .

Crear actividades que ayuden a mejorar las calificaciones de los alumnos con puntos extra al final del semestre o año escolar, es una práctica muy común entre los maestros, pero también es un tema de discusión. Entre el personal docente hay maestros que se apoyan en esta práctica y otros que preferirían prescindir de ella. Examinar estas dos perspectivas es necesario para formarnos una idea completa de la utilidad y desventajas de los créditos extra. Los pros y contras Alguno

Los académicos de la lengua saben que esta se encuentra constantemente en un proceso de cambio para describir fielmente la realidad en que vivimos. Las palabras que teníamos hace 20 años no son las mismas que dominan nuestro vocabulario hoy y, muy posiblemente, el siguiente año tengamos más. No fue hace mucho cuando nuestro único vehículo de evolución de la lengua eran los libros y las conversaciones habladas, sin embargo, la base de los mecanismos con los que construimos el

Los eSports son la práctica de jugar videojuegos a nivel competitivo, ya sea ameteur o profesional, los competidores se organizan en ligas y torneos. No se limitan a un solo género de videojuegos, dado que todos los juegos con los que se organicen competencias entran en la definición de eSports, no solo los juegos de deportes.
