Diagnosing Pneumonia in X-Rays with Machine Learning

Machine Learning (ML) is a subset of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that helps software perform tasks without explicit programming through a variety of statistical techniques, including deep learning (neural networks) that are inspired by theories about how the brain processes information. With Google AutoML Vision, functional (non-technical) developers can train machine learning models to classify images […]

Visualize Employee Locations with Augmented Reality

If your employees work at different locations, you may want to visualize those facilities in a map; perhaps with worker population heatmapping to understand employee distribution, or with wayfinding to help your employees find each other and collaborate. As part of ongoing research on voice and visual interfaces, I developed a chatbot-guided employee location visualization […]

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 […]

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, […]

Build a Winning Conference Survey

Conferences and trade shows provide a great opportunity to gather information from potential customers and clients, partners and competitors. Meaningful, intuitive surveys and polls are gatekeepers to that data; they need to extract the right information without being intimidating or lengthy. Recently I got the chance to showcase at the Ontario Centre’s of Excellence Discovery Conference. […]
