Angling in the Data Lake: GE and Pivotal Pioneer New Approach to Industrial Data
The system, which has already tracked more than 3 million flights and gathered 340 terabytes of data, can analyze data 2,000 times faster than previous methods and cut costs tenfold. It is so powerful that it crunched through a complex task that would have taken a month to compute in just 20 minutes.
Underdog Scientist Cracks Code to Reduce Flight Delays
Jose Fonollosa knows the language of machines better than many people know their mother tongue. Fonollosa, a professor at the Signal Theory and Communications Department of Universidad Politécnica de Cataluña in Barcelona, Spain, has spent two decades studying machine learning and speech recognition. In 2006, he was part of a team of researchers that devised a new way for machines to translate Spanish to English in the European Parliament.
