What does it really mean to run machine learning on the edge? Over the last five years, Ekkono's researchers, engineers, and developers have been working hard to bring smart functionality to small hardware platforms. In this blog post, I would like to give you a small glimpse of what's possible to achieve with our purpose-built machine learning software library, designed with portability and ease-of-use in mind from the very first line of code. The potential benefits of analyzing data close to the source, rather than uploading it to the cloud, are many: faster response times, increased security and privacy, and improved energy efficiency, to name a few. Back in June, one of our data scientists, Eva Garcia Martin, wrote about some of the challenges of designing and building machine learning software for edge devices, and how those challenges influence our R&D processes.

Machine-learning-as-a-service (MLaaS) tools for data analytics could increase the accuracy and efficiency of your research in the data science realm without requiring substantial upfront costs from on-site equipment. That's because MLaaS options exist in the cloud. Here are six you should keep in mind if you're planning to invest in machine learning tools or would like to learn more about them. This option from Microsoft features a drag-and-drop interface that doesn't require coding expertise. It takes an applied approach to machine learning, allowing you to integrate the technology into your work swiftly.

When we started learning COBOL in high school, one of the first things the teacher introduced was the concept of GIGO. GIGO stands for "garbage in, garbage out". If we input clutter mishmash data to a program, it will either error out or provide inaccurate results. This fundamental principle has not changed in machine learning programming. Moreover, it has become more relevant over time, considering the massive amount of data required to train a model for real-life artificial intelligence use cases.

What if every student could use artificial intelligence to do any form of writing for their classes? A recent technology called GPT-3, a machine-learning model that understands and generates natural language text, is attempting to make this a reality. Created by an artificial intelligence company called OpenAI, GPT-3, formally known as Generative Pre-trained Transformer, is trained to recognize 540 billion words and 175 billion parameters, which are the variables that allow AI models to make predictions. The training enables the technology to produce human-like text for several types of writing, including outlines, long-form essays, sales pitches, and poems. But how well does it work?

Industrial robots are taking over. In fact, according to a report by the International Federation of Robotics, the number of robots in factories has almost doubled in recent years. The 2021 World Robot Report shows that the global number of robots per 10,000 employees has risen from 66 to 126 between 2015–2020. So which sectors are reaping the rewards? Here, we'll explore just this, shining a light on industries benefiting the most from robotics.

These concerns have spread throughout the AI field, leading even large corporations such as Microsoft to develop internal guidelines for using this technology. In June, the company publicly shared its new "Responsible AI Standard" framework that is aimed at "keeping people and their goals at the center of system design decisions and respecting enduring values like fairness, reliability and safety, privacy and security, inclusiveness, transparency, and accountability," according to a Microsoft blog post. As a result of these standards, the company phased out an emotion recognition tool from its AI facial analysis services following criticism that such software was discriminatory against marginalized groups and not proven to be scientifically accurate. Businesses are not the only organizations looking to solve ethical questions about AI. Multiple colleges and universities are also creating research centers, educational programming, and other efforts that will help develop a new generation of scientists and engineers who are dedicated to using this form of technology to better society.

What can you do to keep pace? No matter if you want to dive deep into Machine Learning, or if you simply want to increase productivity at work when handling Financial Data, there is the very first and most important step: Leave Excel behind and manage your Financial Data with Python and Pandas! Pandas is the Excel for Python and learning Pandas from scratch is almost as easy as learning Excel. Pandas seems to be more complex at a first glance, as it simply offers so much more functionalities.

Azure Machine Learning service is Azure based service with provided on-prem Python SDK, that combines both worlds, cloud and on-prem, and brings data scientists ability to quickly prepare data, train and deploy machine learning models and consume the predictions. Azure ML service provides broader usage of cloud and improves the productivity, helps burden the knowledge scarcity, reduces costs and does auto-scaling. Azure ML Service embraces also many open-source python frameworks and packages, such as Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, Pytorch and MXnet. In this session we will explore many of the service features, the ability to combine on-prem with cloud work (using notebooks), connecting to Kubernetes Service, Databricks and other features.
