Global Bigdata Conference

Hard to believe, but the R programming language has been with us since 1993. A quarter century has now passed since the authors Gentleman and Ihaka originally conceived the R platform as an implementation of the S programming language. Continuous global software development has taken the original concepts originally inspired by John Chambers' Scheme in 1975 to now include parallel computing, bioinformatics, social science and more recently complex AI and deep learning methods. Layers have been built on top of layers and today's R looks nothing like 1990's R. So where are we at, especially with the emerging opportunities for deep learning on the horizon?
