WASHINGTON—As Russian troops surged toward Ukraine’s border last fall, a small Western intelligence unit swung into action, tracking signs Moscow was preparing to invade. It drew up escape routes for its people and wrote twice-daily intelligence reports.The unit drafted and sent to its leaders an assessment on Feb. 16, 2022, that would be eerily prescient: Russia, it said, would likely invade Ukraine on Feb. 23, U.S. East Coast time.  The intelligence shop had just eight analysts and used only publicly available…

Most academic papers are behind paywalls.

In these research…

Installing apps on a Mac is generally considered to be safer than doing so on Windows and open-source software is usually benign but there are exceptions to both of these assumptions that can do untold damage to your privacy and security. A recent discovery by Trend Micro provides a startling example of this risk. An open-source app designed to help Mac owners with iPhone and iPad app signing has been altered to include a nasty hack that steals your Apple Keychain data. The original app is called ResignTool and it’s…

New AI systems have shown incredible improvements and can today tackle complex problems we thought would be unaddressed for decades. These range from DeepMind’s Alpha Fold AI to solve a 50-year-old problem, protein folding, which is now deployed to accelerate drug discovery, to the recent generative AI with OpenAI Copilot to help developers complete their code automatically.But those AI models often need huge datasets to be trained on, and with great datasets comes great responsibility. This is especially true in…

Hadoop is maintained by Apache Software Foundation Digital assets are stored in form of Big Data. The storage platform is highly benefitting companies across the globe, especially at the time of the pandemic when everyone started working on a remote basis.  Big data represents the volume of data, both structured and unstructured being gathered in a single source. It inundates a business on a day-to-day basis. The big data is stored across various computers as the amount is very huge. A single computer can’t handle to…

It took just over a decade (give or take) for data science and machine learning to grow from ancillary functions within businesses into major lucrative industries in their own right. Still, many of the tools that data professionals use every day have retained a grassroots, community-driven approach, and the ecosystem as a whole has preserved a fondness for freely shared open-source software.This week, let’s explore the intersection of data science and open-source culture. We’ve selected a handful of recent articles that…

A Data Scientist’s PerspectiveOpen-source is such an amazing concept! By bundling the sources, skills, and knowledge of an entire community, tools can be created that we could have not made in isolation. The tools that come out of these collaborations are truly more than the sum of their parts.As a result, we data scientists use this freely available software that is driving so many technologies whilst still having the opportunity to be involved in its development.Over the last few years, I was fortunate enough to be…
