Determining the real drivers of engagement, subscriptions and revenue is key to unlocking the sequestered value hidden in the mountains of data and audience insight available to #streamingmedia and #OTT companies. bit.ly/3knDCOD #ai #machinelearning #innovationlab

Startup studio leadership has the skillset needed to validate startup ideas, prioritize the most promising opportunities, and assemble the right teams. Last but not least, startup studios can draw on contacts from across the venture ecosystem. hackernoon.com/what-makes-a-v…

Okay, we're not gonna lie. No matter how stressful, we LOVE test pilot data day!!!! `jupyter notebook --no-browser` here I come!

The new Catalogue of Life infrastructure is now live, including a new Portal, API and Checklistbank! This is a major milestone in an extensive collaboration with @GBIF, @INHSillinois, @museumnaturalis, @NLBIF, @ITISGov, @eol and Species2000. Read more: catalogueoflife.org/2020/12/08/inf…

@rachelmetz me?

nobody wants to see you shirtless. i mean really.

When Trump wanted to auction off the Arctic to the oil industry, we blocked him in court. Now that the Biden administration has placed a temporary moratorium on oil and gas drilling in the Arctic Refuge, we’re doing all we can to ensure this landscape is protected forever.

Congratulations to our colleagues at Inria Lille and Georgia Tech, whose paper—"Towards Chapel-based Exascale Tree Search Algorithms: dealing with multiple GPU accelerators"—was named an HPCS 2020 Outstanding Paper Award nominee! Paper and slides at: chapel-lang.org/papers.html

@LasVegasTodd Buck Rogers is!

Hey I’m building a prototype for a new wearable. Anyone invested in seeing our pitch deck?

fastcompany.com/90620560/how-t… It's prudent to take stock of a rough year. At Verdant, we've missed the energy of being in the same room together. We've missed bad jokes and eye contact. We're looking forward to good things ahead.

No kidding, this is one of our pet peeves, too. Not everything is "AI", sometimes it's just statistics or worse: keyword search.

I can't be the only one who spent hours trying to install #opengl in #wsl so I can run #gvim from the terminal...

@Engineer_Health Yeah, I've lived this....

Bears with brain inflammation have been found in Lake Tahoe & as far away as Humboldt County. Our new #veterinarian Dr. Jamie Sherman, who's studied #bear diseases with @CaliforniaDFW, chimed in on potential implications. Via @sacbee_news sacbee.com/news/californi…

@bindureddy A lot of good practice developed over 70 years of #AI has been abandoned in the last decade, including benchmarking, hypothesis testing and model selection. Don't tell me "benchmarks" don't exist, you still have to analyze the problem.

Data scientists often underestimate the importance of benchmark models You can't assess the strengths or weakness of your custom machine learning model without comparing to a benchmark If you are intellectually honest, you will pick good benchmarks to compare against and beat

@hsianghui There have been incredible advances in #HPC that seem to be largely ignored by simulators. I'm looking at you, @ChapelLanguage

NCATS actively supports @NIH’s UNITE initiative and its commitment to end structural racism in biomedical research. Provide feedback on this effort by responding to the recent RFI from NIH seeking input from the public and stakeholder groups: go.usa.gov/xs5wD
