2020 brings a new decade, and for the U.S Census Bureau, a new challenge. As the federal government’s—and the nation’s—leading provider of demographic and economic data, its largest initiative is the U.S. Census, which is conducted every 10 years and counts every resident in the United States.

Since childhood, we’ve been taught about the power of coalitions: working together to achieve a shared objective. In nature, we see this repeated frequently – swarms of bees, ant colonies, prides of lions – well, you get the idea. It is no different when it comes to Machine Learning models. Research and practical experience show that groups or ensembles of models do much better than a singular, silver bullet model. Intuitively, this makes sense.

Ever wonder how fast Apache NiFi is? Ever wonder how well NiFi scales? When a customer is looking to use NiFi in a production environment, these are usually among the first questions asked. They want to know how much hardware they will need, and whether or not NiFi can accommodate their data rates. This isn’t surprising. Today’s world consists of ever-increasing data volumes. Users need tools that make it easy to handle these data rates.
Data saturation is everywhere. We want to collect more data because we want better information from them. However, the rapid rise in our ability to collect data hasn’t been matched by our ability to get meaningful insights from the data.
One key aspect of the Cloudera Data Platform (CDP), which is just beginning to be understood, is how much of a recombinant-evolution it represents, from an architectural standpoint, vis-à-vis Hadoop in its first decade. I’ve been having a blast showing CDP to customers over the past few months and the response has been nothing short of phenomenal…

A secret to adopting machine learning that has nothing to do with the actual technology. Machine learning has the potential to transform your business. To automate processes, uncover new insights, make your products and services better, and customers happier. Integrating the capability into your organization requires operational transformation and lots (and lots) of experimentation. But, you know this already.
