Data Science Association Announcements
Join us this Tuesday, May 19, 2015 @6pm MDT at Rock Bottom Brewery for "Intro to Apache Ignite: Distributed Framework for Unified In-memory Data Fabric" and "Extending Word2Vec for Performance and Semi-supervised Learning". Free live-streaming for those who cannot attend. Register here.
Thank you to Hal Woods, Robert Wilson and Ouafae Hannaoui from HGST for a great presentation at the recent Data Science event in Denver. Educational event with lots of exciting conversations about future technologies and opportunities. Read this informative white paper "Deciphering SSD Endurance- Which SSD will hold up under your workload?" You may also be interested in some of the new HGST advanced technologies:
- Ultrastar® He8 - the industry's leading 8TB capacity, helium-filled HDD
- Active Archive Platform - high-density, instant-access archival storage
- High-performance PCIe SSDs
Please contact Robert Wilson (949.757.3449 - rob.wilson@hgst.com) for additional information.
Fedscoop.com (covers federal IT and tech policy) is looking for United States federal government data scientists who have or have had concerns about the recent push to open data within the federal government. At issue is concern that they will fail to get credit they deserve for data science work if data is released prematurely. Anyone interested please contact Witney Wyckoff at whitney.wyckoff@fedscoop.com.
