ETL vs ELT: Which One is Right for Your Data Pipeline? - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

ETL and ELT are data integration pipelines that transfer data from multiple sources to a single centralized source and perform some transformation and processing steps to it. The difference between these two is ETL transforms the data before loading, and ELT transforms the data after loading. But before diving deeply into them, let's first understand the meaning of E, L, and T. T for Transform - Transforming the data is a process of cleaning and modifying the data in a format so that it can be used for business analysis. L for Loading - It involves loading data to a target system, which may be a data warehouse or a database. ETL is the first standardized data integration method that emerged in the 1970s due to the evolution of disk storage.


What Does ETL Have to Do with Machine Learning? - KDnuggets

#artificialintelligence

You may have heard ETL getting thrown in sentences here and there when you're reading blogs or watching YouTube videos. So what does ETL have to do with machine learning? For those who don't already know, machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence that uses data analysis to predict accurate outcomes. It is the machine learning algorithms that produce these predicted outputs by learning on historical data and its features. It is the process of moving data from multiple sources to bring it to a centralized single database.


ETL or ELT? The Big Data age calls for the right integration strategy - ET CIO

#artificialintelligence

By Vikram Labhe It is a truism at this point to talk of the centrality of data for organisations. According to IDC, the global datasphere will rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% between 2020-2025, highlighting the importance of responding to the surge in storage demand. For businesses to leverage data insights and drive growth, they must coordinate the dependencies and execute the different tasks on their data journey in the desired order, all while ensuring minimal impact from potential errors. Whether an organisation favours extract, transform, load (ETL) or extract, load, transform (ELT) will depend on their specific needs. Orchestration is fundamental for modern data processes, but for many businesses a modern data stack makes specific orchestration tools redundant.


TENT: Text Classification Based on ENcoding Tree Learning

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

Text classification is a primary task in natural language processing (NLP). Recently, graph neural networks (GNNs) have developed rapidly and been applied to text classification tasks. Although more complex models tend to achieve better performance, research highly depends on the computing power of the device used. In this article, we propose TENT (https://github.com/Daisean/TENT) to obtain better text classification performance and reduce the reliance on computing power. Specifically, we first establish a dependency analysis graph for each text and then convert each graph into its corresponding encoding tree. The representation of the entire graph is obtained by updating the representation of the non-leaf nodes in the encoding tree. Experimental results show that our method outperforms other baselines on several datasets while having a simple structure and few parameters.


Migrating from AWS Glue to BigQuery for ETL

#artificialintelligence

Our journey with AWS Glue was a bit of a struggle once we started to dig deeper into the streaming functionality of it, the orchestration of so many layers added a huge overhead that we weren't expecting and whilst most of that is handled within the AWS suite of products, there are just too many benefits to switching our pipelines over to GCP and BigQuery to be ignored. Next steps are to finalise our deployment by using Cloud Composer (Airflow) to orchestrate the creation of each of the tables and provide a monitoring dashboard to help us detect failures and act on them. I will say that AWS got in touch with me after my previous article and I got on a call with the AWS Glue product team, in their words I had "hit pretty much every sharp edge possible" (seems to be a running theme with me -- perhaps I should switch careers to QA engineer?),


Structural Optimization Makes Graph Classification Simpler and Better

arXiv.org Artificial Intelligence

In deep neural networks, better results can often be obtained by increasing the complexity of previously developed basic models. However, it is unclear whether there is a way to boost performance by decreasing the complexity of such models. Here, based on an optimization method, we investigate the feasibility of improving graph classification performance while simplifying the model learning process. Inspired by progress in structural information assessment, we optimize the given data sample from graphs to encoding trees. In particular, we minimize the structural entropy of the transformed encoding tree to decode the key structure underlying a graph. This transformation is denoted as structural optimization. Furthermore, we propose a novel feature combination scheme, termed hierarchical reporting, for encoding trees. In this scheme, features are transferred from leaf nodes to root nodes by following the hierarchical structures of encoding trees. We then present an implementation of the scheme in a tree kernel and a convolutional network to perform graph classification. The tree kernel follows label propagation in the Weisfeiler-Lehman (WL) subtree kernel, but it has a lower runtime complexity $O(n)$. The convolutional network is a special implementation of our tree kernel in the deep learning field and is called Encoding Tree Learning (ETL). We empirically validate our tree kernel and convolutional network with several graph classification benchmarks and demonstrate that our methods achieve better performance and lower computational consumption than competing approaches.

The AI Hierarchy of Needs

#artificialintelligence

As is usually the case with fast-advancing technologies, AI has inspired massive FOMO, FUD and feuds. Some of it is deserved, some of it not -- but the industry is paying attention. From stealth hardware startups to fintech giants to public institutions, teams are feverishly working on their AI strategy. It all comes down to one crucial, high-stakes question: 'How do we use AI and machine learning to get better at what we do?' More often than not, companies are not ready for AI.
