Un port de plus en plus intelligent
Malgré la pandémie et le ralentissement économique, le Port de Montréal a maintenu ses opérations. Face à l’urgence sanitaire, l’Administration portuaire a même obtenu un financement de Scale AI pour développer une solution basée sur l’IA. Objectif : tracer les marchandises essentielles dans les conteneurs pour sauver des vies.

25 Hot New Data Tools and What They DON’T Do
We reached out to dozens of entrepreneurs and open source maintainers in the data ecosystem, and asked two questions: 1. What is your tool uniquely good at? 2. What does your tool NOT do?

Gary Marcus: The Next Decade in AI: Four Steps Towards Robust Artificial Intelligence
Recent research in artificial intelligence and machine learning has largely emphasized general-purpose learning and ever-larger training sets and more and more compute. In contrast, I propose a hybrid, knowledge-driven, reasoning-based approach, centered around cognitive models, that could provide the substrate for a richer, more robust AI than is currently possible.

Martin Fowler: Patterns for Managing Source Code Branches
There are several patterns that can allow teams to use branching effectively, concentrating around integrating the work of multiple developers and organizing the path to production releases. The over-arching theme is that branches should be integrated frequently and efforts focused on a healthy mainline that can be deployed into production with minimal effort.

We tried to build an end-to-end ML platform. Here’s why it failed.
In early 2019, a couple of us tried building an end-to-end ML framework. Our basic insight was that building ML pipelines is a frustrating, disjointed experience, and that we could probably build something better. It didn’t go as planned.

DevOps for Machine Learning and other Half-Truths: Processes and Tools for the ML Lifecycle
Wednesday 17 June 2020 @ 12:00
Traditional software development has a Software Development Life Cycle, coalesced around a set of tools and processes. In contrast, machine learning is a tangle of tools, languages, and infrastructures, with almost no standardization. To build and deploy enterprise-ready machine learning models that generate real value, organizations need to consider a standard ML focused life cycle that supports IT’s Operations Management and Infrastructure groups.

Les contextes d'évaluation en langage DAX
Monday 22 June 2020 @ 11:00
Cette présentation portera donc sur des erreurs courantes que vivent les usagers de Power Pivot et de Power BI qui manquent d'expérience en langage DAX et sur les principes sur lesquels reposent le langage DAX. Une meilleure compréhension des contextes d'évaluation permettra ainsi aux usagers de renouer avec Power Pivot et Power BI et de se sortir d'impasses qu'ils pensaient impossible à résoudre.
