Harvard Business Review may have dubbed being a data scientist the “sexiest job of the 21st century”, but that hasn’t necessarily made it easier to find analytics experts. There is still a huge skills gap in data science. Recently I met with Andreas Vermeulen who is Director of Technology and

Mejorar la vida de las personas gracias a los datos es uno de nuestros propósitos en SAS. Por eso, una de las categorías de los premios Curiosity Data Science Iberian Awards, que hemos organizado este año por primera vez junto a SPAIN AI y la Asociación Portuguesa de Ciencia de
When students hear the word data, they may envision measurements that scientists collect, or perhaps it has something to do with the social media platforms they love. Many students struggle to understand where data comes from and how it can help us make decisions and better understand our world! They may not make a connection with computer science either. Just as
As organizations increasingly use artificial intelligence to collect and analyze data and identify individuals, the topic of ethical AI often rears its head. Last year, Michigan's Integrated Data Automated System flagged more than 540,000 unemployment claims as possibly fraudulent. Thousands of state residents’ accounts were inaccurately flagged, making it almost
모든 것이 빠르게 변화하는 디지털 트랜스포메이션 시대에 신속하고 유연하게 대응할 수 있는 기업 역량을 갖추는 것은 성공적인 비즈니스의 필수 요소가 되었습니다. 비즈니스 신속성과 유연성을 갖추기 위해서는 데이터 기반의 의사결정이 핵심인데요. 모든 산업 분야에서 변화의 중심에 있는 다양하고 복잡한 데이터를 분석하고 새로운 가치를 만들어내는 것은 더 이상 IT팀만의 업무는 아닙니다. 기존의
In our previous section of the series we discussed the impact of missingness and techniques to address this. In this final section of the series we look at how we can use drag-and-drop tools to accelerate our EDA. As mentioned at the beginning of this series, SAS Viya offers multiple
Fueled by a number of factors, including a global pandemic, data analytics skills are in high-demand. Organizations like the Youth Employment Services (YES) are well aware of the abundance of data and its growing complexity. That's why they partnered with SAS last year to provide free learning pathways to help
When our knowledge was contained in books, learning to read was vital to understanding the world. Today, new information is increasingly generated and communicated in numbers, charts and graphs. That’s why data literacy is emerging as an essential skill for everyone who wants to understand our data-rich world and make
In the previous section of this series we discussed ways of assessing the relationship between variables. This week we change the focus to the shape and sparsity of our dataset. One area of Explanatory Data Analysis which we’ve missed so far is the impact of missingness in data. Having missing
Underperforming schools can cast a shadow over the community. Not only do students suffer, but the downstream effects of poor performance can be felt across school funding, teacher retention, morale and the local economy. When one of the top 20 K-12 school districts in the US received a “C” ranking
Stephen Hawking, el afamado físico inglés, pronosticó hace años lo siguiente: "Cada aspecto de nuestras vidas será transformado por la Inteligencia Artificial (IA). Este podría ser el evento más grande en la historia de nuestra civilización". Este futuro finalmente es ahora una realidad. En un artículo publicado por Julia Brodsky
La transformación digital es un fenómeno tecnológico y de negocio que continúa con una fuerte inercia dentro de las organizaciones de todas las industrias.

Looking for ways to combat pandemic fatigue or summer slide? Would you like resources to boost your child's confidence and competency? Or do you need a backseat activity on your family’s next road trip? SAS® Math Stretch is the answer. It's a free iPad app that captivates early learners while
SAS® CodeSnaps is an easy, affordable, and engaging tool. All you need is one iPad, the free CodeSnaps app, one Sphero robot, and a problem to solve. Students work collaboratively in teams to generate the code required to move the Sphero; they build a program using the printable coding blocks, scan it with the app, and execute the program to check their logic. CodeSnaps is accessible and appropriate for all learners across all disciplines. Get creative and challenge your students to navigate an obstacle course, find members of a word family, explore the digestive system, or travel the Oregon Trail. Your imagination is your only limitation.
Minnesota's longitudinal data system integrates early childhood education, K-12, postsecondary and workforce data to create a panoramic view of education outcomes.

The 10th edition of this series puts the spotlight on two organizations at which I had the pleasure of helping to teach students the humble beginnings of data, analytics and data visualization: Avans and HAN (Hogeschool van Arnhem en Nijmegen). My sources for this post are Gerben Muller, who initially
Statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDS) have been around for many years, helping states understand students’ paths through the education system and beyond. The COVID-19 pandemic was an opportunity for one state’s SLDS to step up in new ways that helped feed children in need. With the US Department of Agriculture
La demanda de profesionales especializados en Ciencia de Datos e Inteligencia Artificial continúa creciendo en las organizaciones y se sitúa entre las 15 profesiones más solicitadas en España para este 2021, según el informe anual de Linkedin “Empleos en auge”.
