Business Intelligence, Analytics, Data Science, and AI is your guide to the business-related impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Data Science and analytics, designed to prepare you for a managerial role. The text's vignettes and cases feature modern companies and non-profit organizations and illustrate capabilities, costs and justifications of BI across various business units. With coverage of many data science/AI applications, you'll explore tools, then learn from various organizations' experiences employing such applications. Ample hands-on practice is provided, can be completed with a range of software, and will help you use analytics as a future manager. The 5th Edition integrates the fully updated content of Analytics, Data Science, and Artificial Intelligence, 11/e and Business Intelligence, Analytics, and Data Science, 4/e into one textbook, strengthened by 4 new chapters that will equip you for today's analytics and AI tech, such as ChatGPT. Examples explore analytics in sports, gaming, agriculture and “data for good.” Hadoop is an open-source framework for processing, storing, and analyzing massive amounts of distributed, unstructured data. A related new style of database called NoSQL (Not Only SQL) has emerged to, like Hadoop, process large volumes of multistructured data. Evolving out of the traditional artificial neural networks (ANN), Deep Learning is changing the very foundation of how Machine Learning works. Thanks to large collections of data and improved computational resources, Deep Learning is making a profound impact on how computers can discover complex patterns using the self-extracted features from the data (as opposed to a data scientist providing the feature vector to the learning algorithm).

Drawing examples from real-world networks, this essential book traces the methods behind network analysis and explains how network data is first gathered, then processed and interpreted. The text will equip you with a toolbox of diverse methods and data modelling approaches, allowing you to quickly start making your own calculations on a huge variety of networked systems. This book sets you up to succeed, addressing the questions of what you need to know and what to do with it, when beginning to work with network data. The hands-on approach adopted throughout means that beginners quickly become capable practitioners, guided by a wealth of interesting examples that demonstrate key concepts. Exercises using real-world data extend and deepen your understanding, and develop effective working patterns in network calculations and analysis. There are great textbooks on network science. We complement these with a focus on the practical side of network science—working with network data. The purpose of this book is to provide a more practical guide for data scientists to use network science. Machine Learning, also called statistical learning, is the science and technology of building predictive models that generalize from data. Machine Learning has not only disrupted many industries, it’s revolutionizing how science is done. Because of its ubiquity, network data are also heavily leveraged by Machine Learning. Thus, scientists working with network data (and all forms of data) can benefit from the tools and techniques of Machine Learning. There are several types of Machine Learning methods: supervised learning and unsupervised learning are the primary categories and then there are self-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and more. Suitable for both graduate students and researchers across a range of disciplines, this novel text provides a fast-track to network data expertise.

Overcome challenges in building transactional guarantees on rapidly changing data by using Apache Hudi. With this practical guide, data engineers, data architects, and software architects will discover how to seamlessly build an interoperable lakehouse from disparate data sources and deliver faster insights using their query engine of choice. Authors Shiyan Xu, Prashant Wason, Sudha Saktheeswaran, and Rebecca Bilbro provide practical examples and insights to help you unlock the full potential of data lakehouses for different levels of analytics, from batch to interactive to streaming. You'll also learn how to evaluate storage choices and leverage built-in automated table optimizations to build, maintain, and operate production data applications. The data platform layer can then become a limiting factor for innovation, straining to provide data fresh enough for analytics, and slowing down use cases of Machine Learning and AI. Herein lies a key advantage of using Hudi to empower analytics for this next generation of data-intensive applications. Hudi is designed to provide native support for near real-time analytics as well as time travel, and this is most evident in the different ways in which data can be read from Hudi.

Real-time applications are becoming the norm today. But building a model that works properly requires real-time data from the source, in-flight stream processing, and low latency serving of its analytics. With this practical book, data engineers, data architects, and data analysts will learn how to use streaming databases to build real-time solutions. Authors Hubert Dulay and Ralph M. Debusmann take you through streaming database fundamentals, including how these databases reduce infrastructure for real-time solutions. You'll learn the difference between streaming databases, stream processing, and real-time online analytical processing (OLAP) databases. And you'll discover when to use push queries versus pull queries, and how to serve synchronous and asynchronous data emanating from streaming databases. So what is a streaming database? Database systems have many different flavors, from traditional relational databases to XML, graph, object, vector, and NoSQL databases. Many of these are well known and have been established for many decades. Streaming, or stream processing, is much less established, although it has seen a steep adoption rate in the industry over the past decade or so, led by the rise of Apache Kafka as the de facto streaming platform. Whether you’re a seasoned database engineer or a novice developer, this book guides you to unlocking the full potential of streaming databases and embracing the future of data processing.

This volume presents a selection of articles which explore methodological and applicative aspects of textual data analysis. Divided into four parts, it begins by focusing on statistical methods, and then moves on to problems in quantitative language processing. After discussing the challenging task of text mining in relation to emotional and sentiment analyses, the book concludes with a collection of studies in the social sciences and public health which apply textual data analysis methods. The book, comprising thirty contributions, is divided into four parts: (1). Statistical methods for Textual Data Analysis, (2). Advances in language processing, (3). Emotion and Sentiment Analyses, and (4). Textual Data Analysis in action. Machine learning has become a crucial technology in various industries and has many applications ranging from computer vision and natural language processing to predictive policing and healthcare. Artificial Intelligence (AI) models can be grouped into several families based on their underlying architecture, functionality, and applications. The most important ones are the following: 1. Deep Learning models: They have been the driving force behind many breakthroughs in AI in the recent year. Their architecture, made of multiple neuronal layers, is designed to model complex relationships and nonlinear interactions between input and output variables. 2. Generative models: They can generate new data much of a muchness to the fed training data. They are used in most of applications generating new images, music, or text.
