Photo: Cloud computing: the hardware, software, and applications you're using may be anywhere up in the "cloud." As long as it all does what you want, you don't need to worry where it is or how it works. Composite photo of computer (Tom Tschida) and clouds (unknown photographer),...
A supercomputer is not simply a fast or very large computer: it works in an entirely different way, typically using parallel processing instead of the serial processing that an ordinary computer uses. Instead of doing one thing at a time, it does many things at once. ...
Uber and Netflix are disrupting all sorts of existing industries. At the core of these discussions is the premise that all companies need to become software companies (e.g. "software is eating the world"). And the types of software applications that...
The best choice between REST and GraphQL depends on the specific requirements of the application and development team. GraphQL is a good fit for complex or frequently changing frontend needs, while REST suits applications where simple and consistent contracts are preferred. Neither API approach is a...
Aimed at explaining the surprisingly good generalization behavior of overparameterized deep networks, recent works have developed a variety of generalization bounds for deep learning, all based on the fundamental learning-theoretic technique of uniform convergence. While it is well-known that many of the...
1. Introduction Deep learning has achieved many recent advances in pre- dictive modeling in various tasks, but the community has nonetheless become alarmed by the unintuitive generaliza- tion behaviors of neural networks, such as the capacity in memo...
2. Migrating legacy business applications to the cloud One of the biggest technology megatrends being witnessed is the move to a SaaS-based model for consumer services. The SaaS model has proven itself with Netflix, Uber, Airbnb in the consumer world and with Salesforce in the enterprise. The...
"iceberg", then cloud security services and the security features of cloud services belong to the visible part of the "iceberg". The security capabilities of 90% under the "iceberg" are often unknown, but it is the part under the "iceberg" that carries the security of the entire public ...
Learning Analytics (LA) has a major interest in exploring and understanding the learning process of humans and, for this purpose, benefits from both Cognitive Science, which studies how humans learn, and Machine Learning, which studies how algorithms learn from data. Usually, Machine Learning is ...
Types of networksNot all computer networks are the same. The network I'm using to link this laptop to my wireless router, printer, and other equipment is the smallest imaginable. It's an example of what's sometimes called a PAN (personal area network)—essentially a convenient, one-person...
