Speech-to-Text Benchmark

This is a minimalist and extensible framework for benchmarking different speech-to-text engines. It has been developed and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with Python3.6.

Horrors of using Azure Kubernetes Service in production

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) was recently marked as GA. We decided to move our production workload to it last month. Following is an account of what its really like to use it in production.

Programming Best Practices For Data Science

The data science life cycle is generally comprised of the following components:• data retrieval• data cleaning• data exploration and visualization• statistical or predictive modelingWhile these components are helpful for understanding the different phases, they don’t help us think about our programming workflow.Often, the entire data science life cycle ends up as an arbitrary mess of notebook cells in either a Jupyter Notebook or a single messy script. In addition, most data science problems require us to switch between data retrieval, data cleaning, data exploration, data visualization, and statistical / predictive modeling.But there’s a better way! In this post, I’ll go over the two mindsets most people switch between when doing programming work specifically for data science: the prototype mindset and the production mindset.

Do GPU-based Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) improve the performance of standard modeling techniques in R?

The speed or run-time of models in R can be a critical factor, especially considering the size and complexity of modern datasets. The number of data points as well as the number of features can easily be in the millions. Even relatively trivial modeling procedures can consume a lot of time, which is critical both for optimization and update of models. An easy way to speed up computations is to use an optimized BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms). Especially since R´s default BLAS is well regarded for its stability and portability, not necessarily its speed, this has potential. Alternative libraries are for example ATLAS and OpenBLAS which we will use below. Multiple blog-posts showed that they are able to improve the performance of linear algebra operations in R, especially those of the infamous R-benchmark-25.R.
