Cloud, microservices, and data mess? Graph, ontology, and application fabric to the rescue.
Knowledge graphs are probably the best technology we have for data integration. But what about application integration? Knowledge graphs can help there, too, argues EnterpriseWeb.
New memcapacitor devices for neuromorphic computing applications
To train and implement artificial neural networks, engineers require advanced devices capable of performing data-intensive computations. In recent years, research teams worldwide have been trying to create such devices, using different approaches and designs.
Being Watched: How surveillance amplifies racist policing and threatens the right to protest — Don't Call Me Resilient EP 10
Mass data collection and surveillance have become ubiquitous. For marginalized communities, the stakes of having their privacy violated are high.
Being Watched: How surveillance amplifies racist policing and threatens the right to protest — Don't Call Me Resilient EP 10 transcript
Once analysts gain access to our private data, they can use that information to influence and alter our behaviour and choices. If you’re marginalized in some way, the consequences are worse.
