President Javier Milei’s clear victory on Sunday, October 26, over the opposition in the midterm elections, where he obtained almost 41% of the vote to 31% of the Peronists, was greeted with market euphoria.
Let’s say an environmental scientist is studying whether exposure to air pollution is associated with lower birth weights in a particular county. They might train a machine-learning model to estimate the magnitude of this association, since machine-learning methods are especially good at learning complex relationships. Standard machine-learning methods excel at making predictions and sometimes provide uncertainties, like confidence intervals, for these predictions. However, they generally don’t provide estimates or confidence intervals when determining whether two variables are related. […]

Live session with Vincent Granville, Chief AI Architect and Co-founder at BondingAI. Scaling databases is a tricky balance. Teams need speed and reliability, but costs keep rising. From runaway infrastructure bills to overprovisioned clusters and slow queries, companies often spend more without seeing better performance. Join for a practical session on how to reduce database total cost of ownership (TCO) without sacrificing performance. Vincent will share strategies that leading organizations are using to control costs, optimize systems, and […]
Artificial intelligence is changing the way businesses store and access their data. That’s because traditional data storage systems were designed to handle simple commands from a handful of users at once, whereas today, AI systems with millions of agents need to continuously access and process large amounts of data in parallel. Traditional data storage systems now have layers of complexity, which slows AI systems down because data must pass through multiple tiers before reaching the graphical processing units […]
Key Highlights: Microsoft has been actively investing in different countries to make them ready for what’s being called AI boom these days. The company has been an active investor in the UAE, where it is pouring money to train younger generation on new AI tools, opening AI hubs, and helping the nation to adopt AI in the best possible manner. Thanks to these efforts, the UAE topped the global AI adoption list, according to Microsoft’s AI Diffusion report. […]
Strange as it may sound, large language models (LLMs) can be leveraged for data analysis tasks, including specific scenarios such as time series analysis.
