Visualizing Data with Google BigQuery and Data Studio
Every company is a data company. Corporations rely on sourcing, managing and manipulating data to understand their products, customers, and employees. As data collection services become more detailed and integrated into everyday applications, visualization is crucial to separate important data from nonsense, identify causal and cor-relational relationships, and ultimately, tell a story. In this post, we’ll […]
Build a Blockchain Database with bigchainDB for Immutable Data Transactions
Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the past decade, you’ve undoubtedly heard of the blockchain. At least, bitcoin. Maybe you’ve heard so much about those virtual coins, that you own a couple of them. In this post, I’ll give you a conceptual overview of the blockchain, highlight its applications, and then show you how […]
Deploy JupyterHub for Big Data and AI Collaboration in your team
Jupyter is an open source web application that deploys interactive notebooks containing code, text, data visualizations and more. Users can quickly develop and share big data and machine learning programs, without the need to constantly install the required libraries and frameworks. Jupyter deployments have sharply increased as enterprises embrace big data and machine learning technologies. […]
Introducing nuOS 2.0: “Helium”
In 2017, I developed nuOS to help streamline my artificial intelligence research by combining several AI and machine learning libraries into an Ubuntu 16.04 distribution. Download it here. You will need rufus to mount it to a USB. This new version updates all of the original libraries with their latest versions, and now includes bigchainDB, […]
Speech Recognition in 5 Minutes
Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) is a rapidly growing technology driven by mainstream adoption through Apple Siri, Google Assistant, Microsoft Cortana and many more. ASR seeks to provide a novel voice-driven user interface through either natural language processing or hot-word detection. The future of ASR technology can include natural language chatbots, voice-activated Internet of Things systems, […]
Get Started with Deep Learning
Advancements in video technology and artificial intelligence have given rise to computer vision, machine learning, deep learning, and neural networks. Libraries like Google’s TensorFlow and Facebook’s PyTorch provide unprecedented access to advanced machine learning tools for object and handwriting recognition algorithms, and more. This post prepares an Ubuntu 16.04 distribution for deep learning development, without […]
Improving Personnel Safety at Nuclear Plants with AI
Nuclear Power is the safest source of clean, reliable energy. A quick glance at the energy deathprint, a chart that arranges energy sources by deaths per trillion kWh, reveals that nuclear energy has the lowest mortality rate at global average of 90 deaths/trillion kWh. Much of this success can be attributed to rigorous training and human […]
Let’s Make a Quick Notepad App
There is a plethora of note taking and personal management applications out there, obvious examples being Evernote and Google Keep. While these services offer massive cloud note archiving and even voice recognition, sometimes I just want a quick and simple place to jot down my daily to-do list and other ideas. And I bet you […]
