Health care is facing an unprecedented need to reform, drive quality and cut costs. Growth in targeted, specific treatments and diagnostic technology, coupled with a rise in people with long-term and multiple chronic conditions, is creating unsustainable demand on the system. To thrive – or even merely survive – health

Mein Name ist Daniel und ich bin in der vierten Klasse. Diese Woche wurden die Eltern in meine Schule eingeladen, um uns etwas über ihre Arbeit zu erzählen. Und mein Vater war mit dabei. Am Anfang war ich etwas unsicher, ob ich mich darüber freuen sollte. Denn wenn sein Vortrag

SASでは、従来からオープン・AIプラットフォームであるSAS Viyaの機能をPythonから効率的に活用いただくためのハイレベルなPython向けAPIパッケージであるDLPyを提供してきました。 従来のDLPyは、Viya3.3以降のディープラーニング(CNN)と画像処理(image action set)のために作成された、Python API向けハイレベルパッケージです。 DLPyではKerasに似たAPIを提供し、より簡潔なコーディングで高度な画像処理やCNNモデリングが可能でした。 そして、この度、このDLPyが大幅に機能拡張されました。 最新版DLPy1.0では、以下の機能が拡張されています。 ■ 従来からの画像データに加え、テキスト、オーディオ、そして時系列データを解析可能 ■ 新たなAPIの提供: ・ RNN に基づくタスク: テキスト分類、テキスト生成、そして 系列ラベリング(sequence labeling) ・ 一般物体検出(Object Detection) ・ 時系列処理とモデリング ・ オーディオファイルの処理と音声認識モデル生成 ■ 事前定義ネットワーク(DenseNet, DarkNet, Inception, and Yolo)の追加 ■ データビジュアライゼーションとメタデータハンドリングの拡張 今回はこれらの拡張機能の中から「一般物体検出(Object Detection)」機能を覗いてみましょう。 SAS Viyaでは従来から画像分類(資料画像1.の左から2番目:Classification)は可能でした。例えば、画像に映っている物体が「猫」なのか「犬」なのかを認識・分類するものです。 これに加えて、DLPy1.0では、一般物体検出(資料画像1.の左から3番目:Object Detection)が可能になりました。 資料画像1.

The TEXT plot was introduced with SAS 9.4M2 to facilitate placement of text strings in a graph. This replaces the MARKERCHAR feature of the SCATTER plot statement, which is still available, but it is better to use TEXT plot in most cases. The syntax is: text x=column y=column text=column </

¿Quién, en ocasiones festivas y/o momentos especiales, no ha escuchado o repetido alguna vez y casi de manera automática: “Brindo por la salud”, “Lo importante es la salud, lo demás va y viene”? Al parecer, son escasos los momentos de nuestra vida, donde nos acordamos de nuestra propia salud, salvo

SAS Technical Support has had several requests from customers who want to use SAS® software to help download their files from a website when there is no application programming interface (API) to do it. This post shows how to automate downloads using PROC HTTP and DATA step, and how to use the HTTP DEBUG statement.


Innovation is born from curiosity. And at SAS, curiosity is in our values, our DNA, and in our history. Curiosity drove our founders to create SAS, and it all started with a simple question: Is there a better way to analyze data? Year after year, we continued to grow by

Vivimos en un mundo cada vez más digitalizado, donde sacar provecho a los miles o millones de datos que se producen a cada instante se ha convertido en una necesidad para las empresas. Hacerlo de forma ágil y efectiva es su principal objetivo. En este escenario, las soluciones de analítica

We have updated our software for improved interpretability since this post was written. For the latest on this topic, read our new series on model-agnostic interpretability. While some machine learning models – like decision trees – are transparent, the majority of models used today – like deep neural networks, random forests, gradient boosting

Artificial intelligence often seems misunderstood, especially in fraud. The same is true of machine learning. One of the amazing things about them is they ask the unasked questions. This occurs as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) go about their daily work. So, what is the unasked question? Too

President Donald Trump - people seem to either love him or hate him. Which makes for an interesting data-analysis topic ... tracking Trump's approval rating. Follow along as I explore some data! I'll start with what I consider the 'best' approval-rating graph I've found so far. Here's a screen-capture of

Jim Harris says people still play a pivotal role in data-driven decision making.

This article is the first in a series of three publications covering REST APIs and their use in, and with SAS. Today, I want to cover a basic example using SAS Viya REST APIs to download an image from a report in SAS Visual Analytics.

What skills will students need in order to pursue a lucrative career in analytics? I recently interviewed two professors to find out. In my first post, the professors discussed the importance of teaching and learning analytics. Today, we'll hear their top advice for students studying analytics, such as: get a
