Python is a general programming language. It can be used to develop and code a lot of things, from games to web applications and desktop software. R is a programming language you will only find in a data science environment. If you are simply working with data science, then you should use R. If, however, […]

According to Stack Overflow, Python could also be the fastest-growing major programming language. Visits to Python-tagged questions edged past Java and JavaScript, which historically have had the highest share of visits from users. Other languages that Stack Overflow considers major include C#, PHP, and C++, but not Apple’s Swift, Google’s Go, and Microsoft’s TypeScript. This […]

ELKI (Environment for Developing KDD-Applications Supported by Index-Structures) is a knowledge discovery in […]

Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore. Faculty Development Program on “R with STATCRAFT“. Held on 22 February, 2017.

The R language specializes in handling data, Statistics and Machine learning and has enjoyed a great reputation among statisticians. What makes R special is – it’s ability to handle data easily and to connect to databases with little trouble at all. This lets anyone with a basic understanding of programming begin statistical programming quite easily. […]

Yahoo, has decided to open source the TensorFlowOnSpark software to promote big data deep learning. TensorFlowOnSpark is Yahoo’s take on Google’s TensorFlow open-source framework. It makes Yahoo’s data sets compatible with the library. TensorFlow is  basically an open source software library that allows for numerical computation using data flow graphs. Similarly Microsoft has decided to open […]

For a good system programming language, you need to have good control over the memory layout and a bit cast operation where you can convert pointers to integers and back. It is an essential feature if you wanted to implement your own memory manager or Garbage collector. This is what the new system programming language […]
