Space-Based AI Shows the Promise of Big Data

At a distance of a million miles from Earth, the James Webb Space Telescope is pushing the edge of data transfer capabilities.

But first it must pass a rigorous, months-long commissioning period to make sure that the data will get back to Earth properly. Mission managers provided an update Feb.

SQL Puzzle Optimization: The UDTF Approach For A Decay Function

How do you implement a decay function in SQL? You can use window functions, which scale better than joins, or better yet, you can try what Felipe Hoffa did: use tabular UDFs. In this video, Felipe shows you how you can use a tabular UDF to write custom code that can analyze a table row by row while preserving state. Felipe wrote a table UDF in JavaScript that uses a low amount of memory to keep track of the decaying values. He was able to run it in 36 seconds, instead of the 46 seconds that the SQL with windows solution took; and then he optimized the JavaScript even further and ran it in just 9 seconds.

Data-Centric AI with Continual and Snowflake

Data infrastructure is rapidly growing and evolving along with infrastructure for AI/ML, with the latter growing largely independent from the former. An emerging generation of AI/ML tooling emphasizes data-centric versus model-centric approaches to the ML development lifecycle.
