Zensar Technologies Launches The Vinci, Intelligent Managed Services Platform at Gartner's Data ... Health Catalyst aims to'democratize' machine learning in healthcare Stay up-to-date on the topics you care about. We'll send you an email alert whenever a news article matches your alert term. It's free, and you can add new alerts at any time.

Health Catalyst has created Healthcare.ai, a website that offers free open source predictive analytics software for hospitals and other healthcare organizations. "Wherever you have a data set that you pull together, you can create a model based on that by using these tools," said Levi Thatcher, director of data science at Health Catalyst. Machine learning and predictive analytics to improve health outcomes has so far been limited to an elite group of data scientists, mostly in the nation's top academic medical centers, he pointed out. Healthcare.ai – open source predictive analytics software – is part of a mission to make machine learning accessible to the thousands of healthcare professionals with only basic technical skills, but who share an interest in using the technology to improve patient care, Thatcher explained. By making its central repository of proven machine learning algorithms freely available, Healthcare.ai opens the doors to a large, diverse group of technical healthcare professionals to quickly use machine learning tools to build accurate models.

Use of machine learning and predictive analytics to improve health outcomes has so far been limited to highly-trained data scientists, mostly in the nation's top academic medical centers. By making its central repository of proven machine learning algorithms available for free, healthcare.ai The healthcare.ai site provides one central spot to download algorithms and tools, read documentation, request new features, submit questions, follow the blog, and contribute code. Health Catalyst has used healthcare.ai to build predictive models that drive its clients' outcomes improvement efforts and span across the company's product lines. Models include but are not limited to a predictive model for central line associated blood stream infection (CLABSI), readmission models for COPD and other chronic conditions, schedule optimization, and financial predictions such as patient propensity to pay.

Despite the advancements in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence, Robots have not learnt how to show emotion... just yet…but when we think of robots, more often than not images of clunky humanoid contraptions, metal with hinged joints and bulky movement spring to mind (excuse the pun). Whilst there are lots of applications for hard robotic machines such as factory lines, farming, military purposes, robots are evolving into more pliable and adaptable artificial organisms. As the use of robotics increases, as does the need for more malleable machines that can assist in more intricate tasks. Building on this need, we've found ourselves entering into a new and exciting realm of engineering, the next generation of robots – soft robotics. The field of soft robotics is still in its infancy and there's still a lot of new ground to cover.

Underground mining poses a number of threats including fires, methane outbreaks or seismic tremors and bumps. An automatic system for predicting and alerting against such dangerous events is of utmost importance – and also a great challenge for data scientists and their machine learning models. This was the inspiration for the organizers of AAIA'16 Data Mining Challenge: Predicting Dangerous Seismic Events in Active Coal Mines. Our solutions topped the final leaderboard by taking the first two places. In this post, we present the competition and describe our winning approach.

Design mining [54, 55, 56] is the use of computational intelligence techniques to iteratively search and model the attribute space of physical objects evaluated directly through rapid prototyping to meet given objectives. It enables the exploitation of novel materials and processes without formal models or complex simulation, whilst harnessing the creativity of both computational and human design methods. A sample-model-search-sample loop creates an agile/flexible approach, i.e., primarily test-driven, enabling a continuing process of prototype design consideration and criteria refinement by both producers and users. Computational intelligence techniques have long been used in design, particularly for optimisation within simulations/models. Recent developments in additive-layer manufacturing (3D printing) means that it is now possible to work with over a hundred different materials, from ceramics to cells.

Today's home cooks have more options than ever before. New technology is slowly moving into the kitchen, but an appreciation for the basics of cooking continues to grow. We spent time with both the latest kitchen tech and some classics that wouldn't be out of place in our grandparents' home, and developed this list of the best cooking and smart home tech you can buy. Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant puts your voice in control of an ever-expanding universe of smart products, and the Amazon Echo speaker remains the best choice for getting Alexa into your home. Whether you want to play music, check the news, control your lighting, keep an eye on your oven, or even play a game, the Echo has you covered with its always-on functionality.

One of the hot topics on Machine Learning is, with no doubts, feature engineering. In fact, it comes before the buzz on this topic, simple when we talk about Data Mining. Remembering the CRISP-DM process, feature engineering (and, consequently, feature selection) is the core of a great data mining project – it comes to life on the Data Preparation phase, that is the task to have constructive data preparation operations such as the production of derived attributes or entire new records, or transformed values for existing attributes. A very good definition, elegant in its simplicity, is that feature engineering is the process to create features that make machine learning algorithms work. And what makes it so important?
