Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are one of the newer machine learning algorithms that data scientists are tapping into. When I first heard it, I wondered how can networks be adversarial? I envisioned networks with swords drawn going at it. Close… but I can assure you that no networks were harmed in the making of this article.
There are many reasons why you might want to encrypt data. I use a SAS program to encrypt a list of logon names and passwords. Before we get started describing how to encrypt data, let's discuss some basic concepts concerning encrypting and decrypting data. All computer data is stored as
A calorie is not a calorie and the advice to simply burn more calories than you take in just doesn’t work. While being aware of calories and other macronutrient numbers is important, there is more to the puzzle. Focusing on the quality of food, not just the quantity, is key
Sometimes we can learn as much from our mistakes as we do from our successes. Recently, I needed to solve an optimization problem for which the solution vector was a binary vector subject to a constraint. I was in a hurry. Without thinking much about what I was doing, I
Rajeeve Narula Cloud adoption is perhaps one of the most common themes I hear in my customer interactions these days. There is a clear mandate within the UK government’s Cloud First policy for UK government and the wider public sector organisations to fully evaluate potential for the public cloud rather
Caroline Payne, Head of Customer Advisory, SAS UK Public Sector Team Digital innovation across governments around the world has accelerated in the last 18 months as leaders turn to data and technology to deliver rapid responses to the pandemic. Public organisations have had to move quickly, whilst being acutely aware
The rumors are true - The Graph Guy is retiring! I've been working at SAS for about 30 years, and had lots of fun stretching the limits of SAS' graphing & mapping software over the years. But I've decided to retire while I'm still young enough to pursue a lot
“No one wants to be sold to, not even the most eager buyer in the world,” says Farnoosh Brock, a corporate trainer, speaker and writer. Brock is also an engineer and author of the book, The Serving Mindset: Stop Selling and Grow Your Business. She is a proponent of selling
Munich Re (Dr. Nivien Shafik), pronovaBKK (Stefan Lodyga) und AOK Rheinland-Hamburg (Verena Kartz) geben Impulse.
This article was co-written by Jane Howell, IoT Product Marketing Leader at SAS. Check out her blog profile for more information. As artificial intelligence comes of age and data continues to disrupt traditional industry boundaries, the need for real-time analytics is escalating as organizations fight to keep their competitive edge.
The process of assessing the health of a donor kidney requires the expertise of a Histopathologist, and can be a long process. “Many people are waiting for a kidney transplant, and in the meantime, they have to be on dialysis. It’s not a great quality of life,” Federica explained. As the
Construction is the second largest industry in the world with a market value of $12.5 trillion, accounting for 13% of the world’s GDP. Financial services are the only industry ahead of construction, with a market value of $22.5 trillion. There are many differences between the two industries, but the most
SAS' Udo Sglavo and Jan Chvosta discuss the power of a regression framework and choosing the correct regression model.
Many optimization problems in statistics and machine learning involve continuous parameters. For example, maximum likelihood estimation involves optimizing a log-likelihood function over a continuous domain, possibly with constraints. Recently, however, I had to solve an optimization problem for which the solution vector was a 0/1 binary variable. To solve the
Just because you are using CAS actions doesn't mean you can forget about the powerful SAS DATA step. The dataStep.runCode CAS action is here! Welcome back to my SAS Users blog series CAS Action! - a series on fundamentals. I've broken the series into logical, consumable parts. If you'd like
