CLOUD COMPUTING Demystifying the Cloud A Deep Dive into Cloud Computing Cloud computing has revolutionized the way we access and utilize computing resources . It has shifted the paradigm from physical servers and software installations to a virtualized , on - demand model . This essay delves deep into the world of cloud computing , exploring its core concepts , deployment models , service models , and the impact it has on individuals and businesses alike . At its core Cloud computing is the delivery of on-demand computing services – including servers , storage , databases , networking , software , analytics , intelligence , and more – over the internet . These services are offered by cloud providers like Amazon Web Services ( AWS ) , Microsoft Azure , and Google Cloud Platform ( GCP ) . Users access these services via a web browser or an API ( Application Programming Interface ) on any device with an internet connection . The " cloud " metaphor refers to the vast and seemin...

DATA MODERNIZATION SERVICES

 DATA MODERNIZATION SERVICES What is a data modernization ? Data Modernization is a strategic approach and often describes the data transfer from legacy databases to modern databases . Data platform modernization is critical to turning large volumes of data, much of which may be useless when siloed , into actionable insights that drive results . As the demand for data modernization services has grown , the data modernization market size has swelled to unprecedented levels . More and more companies are realizing the value of modernizing data and , as such , are seeking solutions to help them understand and make good use of their data . You can have all the data in the world at your disposal , but if you don’t know how to use it , it won’t do your business any good . Understanding data modernization trends is a great way to learn more about data and what the modernization process looks like . One of the trends to watch for in 2022 and beyond is uniform implementation , whic...

AUGMENTED WORKFORCE

  AUGMENTED WORKFORCE What is Augmented Workforce ? An augmented workforce  is a blend of human employees and technology working on tasks together . By utilizing AI  and cognitive technologies , companies are already learning how they can streamline processes and create more efficient workforces . Machine Learning  is a key element of this , where computer programs access data and learn for themselves . Journey of Augmented Workforce  : Various Data Engineers studied the idea of building a machine that had the intelligence of a human , basically an electronic brain . Of course , the breakthrough for this was the introduction of the first digital computer in the 1940s . Since then , the capabilities of digital computers have evolved massively and the digital revolution has shaped the world’s working processes . Traditional manual jobs are becoming obsolete or changing considerably because new technology capabilities can drive great efficienci...

REINFORCEMENT LEARNING

     REINFORCEMENT  LEARNING What is reinforcement learning ? Reinforcement learning is a machine learning training method based on rewarding desired behaviors and / or punishing undesired ones . In general , a reinforcement learning agent is able to perceive and interpret its environment , take actions and learn through trial and error . How does reinforcement learning work ? In reinforcement learning , developers devise a method of rewarding desired behaviors and punishing negative behaviors . This method assigns positive values to the desired actions to encourage the agent and negative values to undesired behaviors . This programs the agent to seek long-term and maximum overall reward to achieve an optimal solution . These long - term goals help prevent the agent from stalling on lesser goals . With time , the agent learns to avoid the negative and seek the positive . This learning method has been adopted in artificial intelligence ( AI ) as a way...

BIG DATA ANALYTICS

BIG  DATA  ANALYTICS WHAT IT IS AND WHY IT MATTERS Big data analytics examines large amount of data to uncover hidden patterns  , correlations and other insights . With today’s technology , it’s possible to analyse your data and get answers from it almost immediately – an effort that’s slower and less efficient with more traditional business intelligence solutions . History and evolution of big data analytics : The concept of big data has been around for years ; most organizations now understand that if they capture all the data that streams into their businesses , they can apply analytics and get significant value from it . But even in the 1950s , decades before anyone uttered the term “ big data , ” businesses were using basic analytics ( essentially numbers in a spreadsheet that were manually examined ) to uncover insights and trends .  The new benefits that big data analytics brings to the table , however , are speed and efficiency . Whereas a few years ago...

SINGLE EVENT UPSET

Image
  SINGLE  EVENT   UPSET   INTRODUCTION  : A  single - event upset  (  SEU  ) , also known as a  single - event error  (  SEE  ) , is a change of state caused by one single ionizing particle ( ions , electrons , photons... ) striking a sensitive node in a micro - electronic device , such as in a microprocessor , semiconductor memory , or power transistors . The state change is a result of the free charge created by ionization in or close to an important node of a logic element ( e.g. memory " bit " ) . The error in device output or operation caused as a result of the strike is called an SEU or a soft error . The SEU itself is not considered permanently damaging to the transistor's or circuit's functionality unlike the case of single - event latch - up ( SEL ) , single - event gate rupture ( SEGR ) , or single - event burnout ( SEB ) . These are all examples of a general...

COMPUTER VISION

Image
  COMPUTER VISION WHAT IS COMPUTER VISION : Computer vision is a field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that enables computers and systems to derive meaningful information from digital images , videos and other visual inputs - and take actions or make recommendations based on that information . If AI enables computers to think , computer vision enables them to see , observe and understand . Computer vision works much the same as human vision , except humans have a head start . Human sight has the advantage of lifetimes of context to train how to tell objects apart , how far away they are , whether they are moving and whether there is something wrong in an image . Computer vision trains machines to perform these functions , but it has to do it in much less time with cameras , data and algorithms rather than retinas , optic nerves and a visual cortex . Because a system trained to inspect products or watch a production asset can analyze thousands of products or processes a minute , no...

NATURAL LANGUAGE PROCESSING

Image
NATURAL  LANGUAGE  PROCESSING INTRODUCTION : Natural language processing (NLP) is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that helps computers understand , interpret and manipulate human language . NLP draws from many disciplines , including computer science and computational linguistics, in its pursuit to fill the gap between human communication and computer understanding . EVOLUTION : While natural language processing isn’t a new science , the technology is rapidly advancing thanks to an increased interest in human - to - machine communications , plus an availability of Big Data , powerful computing and enhanced Algorithms .  As a human , you may speak and write in English , Spanish or Chinese . But a computer’s native language – known as machine code or machine language – is largely incomprehensible to most people . At your device’s lowest levels , communication occurs not with words but through millions of zeros and ones that produce logical actions .  Indeed ...
