Unlocking the potential of your unstructured text data can lead to great business outcomes but the prospect of starting a new or enhancing your existing Natural Language Processing (NLP) program can feel overwhelming because of the inherently unique (and sometimes messy) nature of human language. Text data doesn’t fit neatly into rows or columns the way that structured data does, which can make it seem more complex to work with. Conversations and written language range from objective statements to subjective perspectives and opinions. The same sentence, depending on its intent and the nuances in how it's said, can have a positive, negative, or neutral sentiment. To get us started, we'll share different types of NLP models used to analyze unstructured data with a focus on the hybrid approach.
Heather Cartwright, General Manager of Microsoft Health, joined me to contemplate the new horizons in healthcare made possible by SAS and Microsoft’s new strategic partnership. The four walls of the doctor’s office are disappearing. Following decades of planning for hypotheticals, this year health care organizations were compelled to make good on the promise of digital transformation. Meeting the

Welcome back! Today, I continue with part 2 of my series on building custom applications on SAS Viya. The goal of this series is to discuss securely integrating custom-written applications into your SAS Viya platform. In the first installment of this series, I outlined my experiences on a recent project.
La migración de una operación analítica a la nube abre un amplio abanico de ventajas para las organizaciones: procesamiento y análisis de datos para encontrar las respuestas a sus problemas de negocio más apremiantes, tomar las decisiones más informadas posibles, e identificar oportunidades para crecer, innovar y ser rentables.

Inclusion and diversity are strengths. The SAS company culture is built on a foundation of caring for one another and holding ourselves and others accountable. That includes recognition and accountability for where we can improve. Our work of inclusivity is evolving and continuous. We must frequently re-examine the way we speak, act
Local government gets some bad press. There is no doubt that some could be better, but many are strongly focused on delivering high-quality services for their citizens. However, these "good news" stories seldom make the press – even in local newspapers in slow weeks. Like most public sector organisations around
