Favorite Deep learning (DL) frameworks enable machine learning (ML) practitioners to build and train ML models. However, the process of deploying ML models in production to serve predictions (also known as inferences) in real time is more complex. It requires that ML practitioners build a scalable and performant model server,
Favorite A visit to an Electricity Substation got me thinking about how Knowledge and Electricity are alike, and how the electrical power grid of a country can form an analogy to the Knowledge management framework of an organisation. Public domain image from maxpixel Here are some of the ways 1)
Favorite Knowledge Management will work in an organisation when there is something of value in it for the people involved. WIIFM by Nathan Stephens on Flickr This is what we call the “principle of local value” – the WIIFM for the KM user. If KM is of local value, it
Favorite “The thread through the labyrinth” is a metaphor for allowing others to follow our steps safely. This is what Knowledge can do. German cave diver holding line, by Hossam El-Hamalawi on Flickr When Theseus negotiated Daedelus’ labyrinth in order to kill the Minotaur, he left a thread behind him
Favorite There are five key skills you need on a KM team, no matter what sort of organisation you are.

Favorite Remember the screech of the dial-up and plain-text websites? It was in that era that the Amazon.com website launched in the summer of 1995. Like the rest of the web, Amazon.com has gone through a digital experience makeover that includes slick web controls, rich media, multi-channel support, and intelligent
Favorite Amazon Transcribe is a fully-managed automatic speech recognition (ASR) service that makes it easy for developers to add speech-to-text capabilities to applications. Depending on your use case, you may have domain-specific terminology that doesn’t transcribe properly (e.g. “EBITDA” or “myocardial infarction”). In this post, we will show you how
Favorite Listening to your Microsoft Word documents as audio is a great way to save time or to be productive on a long commute. You can easily convert an entire block of text into MP3 format with Amazon Polly. But you can vastly improve your listening experience with just a
Favorite Training and inference are crucial components of a machine learning (ML) development cycle. During the training phase, you teach a model to address a specific problem. Through this process, you obtain binary model files ready for use in production. For inference, you can choose among several framework-specific solutions for
Favorite In some settings, winning by eliminating mistakes is the best strategy Image from wikimedia commons Wimbledon fortnight has started in the UK – the two weeks of the year when the TV schedules are taken over by professional tennis. This reminded me of a post from the excellent Farnham Street
