AI training and inference are all about running data through models — typically to make some kind of decision. But the paths that the calculations take aren’t always straightforward, and as a model ...

It’s tempting just to replicate all databases in the cloud, but it’s a much better approach to get your data house in order as part of the move. Last week I discussed database normalization as a best ...

I'll explore data-related challenges, the increasing importance of a robust data strategy and considerations for businesses ...

When normalizing data structures, attributes congregate around the business keys that identify the grain at which those attributes derive their values. Attributes directly related to a person, ...

Dr. James McCaffrey of Microsoft Research uses a full code sample and screenshots to show how to programmatically normalize numeric data for use in a machine learning system such as a deep neural ...

Whenever you deal with mathematics or normalization statistics, you will often need to take a large set of numbers and reduce it to a smaller scale. This is usually done with a normalization equation ...

Understanding data encoding and normalization is an absolutely essential skill when working with neural networks. James McCaffrey walks you through what you need to know to get started. Dealing with ...

Database normalization is the cornerstone of database theory. Once a database is normalized, relationships between the data in multiple tables must be established. A hefty part of designing a ...
