In this demonstration we continue to use Keras and TensorFlow 2.3 to explore data, normalize data, and build both a linear model and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to solve a regression problem. Today we use Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to...
In this demonstration we will use Keras and TensorFlow 2.3 to explore data, normalize data, and build both a linear model and Deep Neural Network (DNN) to solve a regression problem. TensorFlow Core 2.3 includes tf.keras, which provides the high...
Introduction Network Engineers use the OpenDaylight (ODL) platform to craft, deploy and manage interesting virtual network services. Internet Service Providers, Cloud Service Providers, Data Center Engineers and Academics use ODL to address the...
The Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elasticsearch service provides GROUP BY operations via the aggregations, or AGGS, Application Programming Interface (API). GROUP BY and AGGS operations provide syntax to collapse rows with similar values into summary...
Operational document stores require backups for disaster recovery and data migration. Elasticsearch uses the term snapshot for their backups. Amazon Web Services (AWS) provides a fully managed Elasticsearch service that includes both automatic...
Elastic Architects designed the distributed Elasticsearch platform to follow NoSql principles. In the traditional Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) world, SQL databases use GROUP BY syntax to group rows with similar values into...
In this HOWTO, I will describe the process to connect an Ubuntu EC2 instance to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) provided Elasticsearch Service via the boto3 Python library. This blog updates my incredibly popular original post on this topic which...
Introduction FastAI provides Jupyter notebooks to wrangle data, train models, optimize models and then serve models. I recommended FastAI to my Data Scientist friends and they found the FastAI Jupyter layout and workflow both cumbersome and...
This blog post describes how to configure Flask to emit form data to your own personal Gmail account. You don't need to use Gmail, in fact, you can configure Flask to send data to any email account you have access to. This architecture uses...
InfluxDB provides an exciting Time Series database with tons of industry momentum and enthusiasm behind it. InfluxData, the parent company that distributes the product overhauled the classic InfluxDB service with their new InfluxDB 2.0 offering....
Fastai provides helper functions on top of Pytorch to help us wrangle, clean, and process data. In this HOWTO we will accomplish the following: Deploy an AWS g3.8xlarge instance Compile and install NVIDIA drivers on our g3.8xlarge instance Use a...
In this blog post you will deploy your own personal Kraken terminal using the InfluxDB Cloud 2.0 platform. With this terminal you can quickly filter data, plot data and apply math. The first section provides a Hello World project to get up and...
Flask, Lambda, API Gateway, IAM and S3 enable massively scalable web database applications. Flask provides a simple, Pythonic Model View Controller (MVC) framework to develop the application logic. Lambda and API Gateway provide pay-per-use...
I've previously discussed the Reduced Coloumb Energy Neural Net algorithm on this site. I wrote the algorithm in Matlab, which uses index based logic to select, filter, wrangle and process data. I thought it would be a fun exercise to refactor...
I deployed my first web database application back in 2002 thanks to the seminal O'Reilly book Web Database Applications with PHP and Mysql by David Lane and Hugh E. Williams. In the past sixteen years, the industry developed tons of frameworks...
Over the air communications, such as text messages, satellite radio, walkie talkies and WiFi need to deal with the unpredictable effects of noise in the channel. Coding theory attempts to make noisy channels more reliable by bringing the noise...
Engineers face the reality of imperfect and noisy channels when designing digital communication systems (DCS). The engineers must account for signal degradation to ensure that a receiver receives the message that the transmitter intended. The...
Introduction OpenDaylight allows cloud engineers to programmatically deploy, configure and control virtual network services. As written on the OpenDaylight website, ODL helps Internet Service Providers, Academics and Cloud Service Providers to...
Introduction In this HOWTO, I will demonstrate a very quick and dirty method to transcribe customer service voicemails to text and emit the text to an Elasticsearch NoSQL document store. Once in Elasticsearch, you can search the voicemails for...
Introduction Machine Learning engineers use Probabilistic Neural Networks (PNN) for classification and pattern recognition tasks. PNN use a Parzen Window along with a non-negative kernel function to estimate the probability distribution function...
Introduction Satellite system engineers consider the narrow beams (which lend themselves to frequency reuse) and high data rates of Ka band channels attractive for communication systems [Khan 2]. As a result, the satellite community witnessed a...
Introduction I investigate the effectiveness of a Reduced Coulomb Energy (RCE) Neural Network on the classification of the University of California, Irvine (UCI) Bupa liver disorder data set. I investigate seven (7) different versions of the data...
Introduction OpenDaylight provides a Software Defined Network (SDN) controller that allows network engineers to programmatically direct network services via a Representational state transfer (REST) Application Programming Interface (API). When I...
Part Two of this HOWTO demonstrates how to secure your S3 hosted website with HTTPS. If you haven't completed part one yet, be sure to click here. Once you complete this HOWTO, you will have a secure website, that Google approves, as seen in the...
This HOWTO demonstrates how to secure your Simple Storage Service (S3) hosted website via Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure (HTTPS). While the S3 Representational State Transfer (REST) enpoint supports native HTTPS, an S3 bucket configured to...
