Azure: Grids, Hubs, Busses, Topics, and Queues… Oh My!
Messaging between application components and devices is why engineers invented computer networks. The ultimate computer network is the Internet, which has practically connected all the world’s devices to a single network where any one device can send a message to another device.
Batch and Streaming Pipelines
One of the best features of Databricks is that it facilitates transitioning batch pipelines to streaming pipelines.
Object Detection
My previous post introduced two popular algorithms for detecting faces in photographs: Viola-Jones, which relies on machine learning, and MTCNNs, which rely on deep learning.
Face Detection
My previous post demonstrated how to use transfer learning with a CNN trained on millions of facial images to build a facial-recognition model that is remarkably adept at identifying faces.
Facial Recognition with CNNs
Not long ago, I boarded a flight to Europe and was surprised that I didn’t have to show my passport.
Audio Classification with CNNs
You are the leader of a group of climate scientists concerned about the planet’s dwindling rainforests.
Data Augmentation
My previous post demonstrated how to use transfer learning to build a model that with just 300 training images can classify photos of three different types of Arctic wildlife with 95% accuracy.
Databricks Jobs
Today’s post will cover Databricks Jobs. There is also the concept of a Spark Job which will be covered briefly to try to avoid confusion.
Transfer Learning
My post introducing convolutional neural networks (CNNs) used a dataset with photos of Arctic foxes, polar bears, and walruses to train a CNN to recognize Artic wildlife.
