Powering Interactive BI Analytics with Presto and Delta Lake - Databricks

#artificialintelligence

In this presentation I first want to introduce Presto for those who don't know what it is and talk a little bit about Starburst and what we do here to help enterprise adoption of Presto. The main topic of my presentation is the Delta Lake integration that we've done for Presto and then sort of show how we can combine Presto and DataBreak, Spark, and Delta together in one data platform architecture and how to efficiently use the best, get the beauties of both technologies. And then finally show real use cases where that combination actually delivers the best results for your team. So with that let's get going. So Presto and Starburst, Presto itself is open source community driven project.


Machine Learning with Starbursts

#artificialintelligence

Years ago in college, I took a course on the Philosophy of A.I. and Machine Learning. This course had me thinking about computers in ways I'd never thought of them before--not as abstract, magical black boxes, but as mechanical devices using simple rules. Understanding how these simple rules lead to complex processes is the key to understanding machine learning. In this article I want to demonstrate the basics of Machine Learning -- one of the more advanced and cutting edge areas of Computer Science. And as in the previous articles of this series, we're not going to need any computers.
