Thomas Bayes (/beɪz/; c. 1701 – 7 April 1761)[2][3][note 1] was an English statistician, philosopher and Presbyterian minister who is known for formulating a specific case of the theorem that bears his name: Bayes' theorem. Bayes never published what would become his most famous accomplishment; his notes were edited and published after his death by Richard Price.[4] Thomas Bayes was the son of London Presbyterian minister Joshua Bayes,[5] and was possibly born in Hertfordshire.[6] He came from a prominent nonconformist family from Sheffield. In 1719, he enrolled at the University of Edinburgh to study logic and theology. On his return around 1722, he assisted his father at the latter's chapel in London before moving to Tunbridge Wells, Kent, around 1734.

Weld is an open-source Rust project for improving the performance of data-intensive applications. It is an interface and runtime that can be integrated into existing frameworks including Spark, TensorFlow, Pandas, and NumPy without changing their user-facing APIs. Data analytics applications today often require developers to combine various functions from different libraries and frameworks to accomplish a particular task. For instance, a typical Python ecosystem application selects some data using Spark SQL, transforms it using NumPy and Pandas, and trains a model with TensorFlow. This improves developers' productivity as they are taking advantage of functions from high-quality libraries.

It wasn't that long ago that Sophia Withers was travelling around Australia and Asia after her undergraduate degree. After a stint working on farms and in brunch cafes, she moved to Melbourne and joined KPMG Australia. While working as a coordinator for their audit division, she began studying the University of Birmingham's part-time Online MSc International Business, in 2018. It was during the program that she deep dived into her passion for blockchain and emerging technology. Her degree research project--How will Blockchain 3.0 facilitate social and economic impact?

Founded in 1990, the Martin Luther King Jr. (MLK) Visiting Professors and Scholars Program honors the life and legacy of Martin Luther King by increasing the presence of, and recognizing the contributions of, underrepresented minority scholars at MIT. MLK Visiting Professors and Scholars enhance their scholarship through intellectual engagement with the MIT community and enrich the cultural, academic, and professional experience of students. Six scholars are visiting MIT this academic year as part of the program. Kasso Okoudjou is returning for a second year as an MLK Visiting Professor in the Department of Mathematics. Originally from Benin, he moved to the United States in 1998 and earned a PhD in mathematics from Georgia Tech. Okoudjou joins MIT from the University of Maryland College Park, where he is a professor.

Data visualization tools, desktop data discovery tools, and visual analytics are examples of traditional self-service BI tools that business analysts embrace because they provide a user-friendly way of quickly turning data into insights. These tools are geared toward business analysts that have the skills and knowledge to acquire the right data sets, perform the analysis, and present the insights needed to solve a business problem. Often, these data sets acquired by business analysts are not governed or managed by IT, but this is acceptable because business analysts have enough business knowledge to evaluate whether insights are reasonably accurate to address the business problem. Business analysts also have the skills to best present analysis in the form of beautiful charts and reports to make it easy for others in the business to interpret insights quickly for decision making. Machine-generated insights can remove business analysts entirely from the analytic process.

"Every engineering domain I spent enough time on has become my favorite at a certain point in my career", says Bulent. "Yet, that never stopped me from exploring, jumping from one technology stack to another, to keep learning and enhancing my skill set and knowledge." At the start of his career, Bulent and a team of skilled software engineers developed a suite of MS Office alternatives which was eventually launched under the name Corel Home Office. Some interesting facts about his career - Bulent helped build the popular CorelDraw Graphics Suite and even worked as a sales manager at FADATA, a front-office insurance software vendor. "I always strive to break out of my comfort zone by challenging myself with projects that are fresh and unconventional", smiles Bulent.
