Strata London Talk Slides and Code. #stratadata #kafka #dl4j
Proof if proof were needed…. so Strata London was an absolute pleasure to talk at. Those who know me know I’m a big fan of the conference, so to talk at it was an additional boost. Who knew that Strictly data could cross boundaries like that. The slides are available on the Strata website and…

It Does Not Take A Ton of #AI or #MachineLearning to make #customers delighted. #delight101
Reality Check, Your Customers Probably Don’t Care About AI Can we just be honest a second, most AI or Machine Learning tools are going to be overkill for most small business.

The 30 Second Bayesian Classifier #machinelearning #bayes #classification

When everyone is saying #no doesn’t mean you should stop. #startups #bigdata #hadoop
“I want to be the new Clubcard in town…” In 2009/2010 I was working on customer loyalty technology with a view to doing something on the phone. So uVoucher was born with probably too much fanfare and talking. The value for me wasn’t the iPhone app for the retailer, it was the data and the learning…

Processing JSON with Sparkling – #sparkling #spark #bigdata #clojure
While many developers crave the loveliness and simplicity of JSON data it can come with its own set of problems. This is very true when using tools like Spark for consuming data as you cannot guarantee that one line of the text file contains one complete block of a JSON object for processing. Resilient Distributed…
