As the growth in embedding analytics into a product, application or service continues to accelerate in the market, some issues continue to frustrate our ISV and Data Provider partners in their journey to the cloud.
Apache Beam is an open-source, unified programming model for batch and streaming data processing pipelines that simplifies large-scale data processing dynamics. The Apache Beam model offers powerful abstractions that insulate you from low-level details of distributed data processing, such as coordinating individual workers, reading from sources and writing to sinks, etc.
Over the years, vast amounts of satellite data have been collected and ever more granular data are being collected everyday. Until recently, those data have been an untapped asset in the commercial space. This is largely because the tools required for large scale analysis of this type of data were not readily available and neither was the satellite imagery itself. Thanks to Earth Engine, a planetary-scale platform for Earth science data & analysis, that is no longer the case.
Tell us if this sounds familiar. You’ve found an awesome data set that you think will allow you to train a machine learning (ML) model that will accomplish the project goals; the only problem is the data is too big to fit in the compute environment that you’re using. In the day and age of “big data,” most might think this issue is trivial, but like anything in the world of data science things are hardly ever as straightforward as they seem.
Every organization wants to identify the right sales leads at the right time to optimize conversions. Lead scoring is a popular method for ranking prospects through an assessment of perceived value and sales-readiness. Scores are used to determine the order in which high-value leads are contacted, thus ensuring the best use of a salesperson’s time. Of course, lead scoring is only as good as the information supplied.
