Applying Convolutional Neural Networks with TensorFlow

For most companies, data is viewed as a problem instead of an asset. Data is often stuck in systems that dont talk to each other, manual processes affect data quality, and analytics tools arent providing clear insights. But those companies who use their data to drive business strategy are out-performing their competitors. To be more competitive in any industry, you must take advantage of the ever-growing amount of available data and that starts with a Data Strategy. A documented roadmap that clearly defines company goals and the specifics on how to get there will put you on the path towards data driven decision making.

Business users have a tremendous appetite for data. The “single version of the truth” was a rallying cry to deliver business data in data warehouses for years. Users were able to digest and analyze large volumes of corporate data. They reviewed trends, identified anomalies, and supported decision-making because they had the detailed data to support action. As the business/data environment matured, the need for more diverse detail and increased delivery speed only grew. The data lake became a successful mechanism for delivering data from diverse systems in a timely manner.

Data Governance is both a technical and an organizational discipline, and getting Data Governance right requires a combination of Data Management fundamentals aligned with organizational change and stakeholder buy-in. Join Nigel Turner and Donna Burbank as they provide an architecture-based approach to aligning business motivation, organizational change, Metadata Management, Data Architecture and more in a concrete, practical way to achieve success in your organization.

Today, most web and mobile applications are limited to “lightweight” analytics because general-purpose databases can be optimized for transactional or analytical workloads, but not both – and since transactional processing is critical, applications have to compromise on analytics. However, what if an e-commerce application could let customers know which products are soon to be sold out based on clickstream data, shopping carts, current inventory and recent purchases as well as historical buying patterns and emerging shopping trends? In this webinar, attendees will learn how to leverage MariaDB ColumnStore to provide transactional applications with real-time analytics on historical data.
