-
There is a growing demand for data scientists in every organization. For the growth of any business, there is a need to evaluate the data you collect and data scientists need both the right skill set and the right tools to help you deliver results with your data. In this article, we will talk about open source data science tools you or they can use to do just that.

1. Python

Python is a popular high-level, general-purpose, dynamic programming language that is commonly referred to as the easiest language to read and to learn. It is emerging as the leading language for open data science because it combines rapid development with the ability to interface with high-performance algorithms written in C or Fortran.

For the first time in three years, Python has edged out R as the most popular data science software:



As a result, there is a rich suite of programming libraries that can be used as a foundation for data science.

Python’s syntax allows programmers to express concepts clearly and concisely. The fact that many web applications and most data science applications are now written in Python lowers the cost of entry.

2. R

The R programming language is the lingua franca of statistics.  It is ...

By AI Trends Staff     As the  US Navy  strives to get to a 355-ship fleet by 2034, part of a 30-year plan the Navy outlined in 2019, it is finding it economical to use underwater autonomous vehicles. They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns. The deal announced in March to create Canada's second-largest cellular and cable operator has attracted regulatory scrutiny. The Competition Bureau said in August it obtained court orders to advance its review. The regulator on Tuesday asked market participants and Canadians to come forth with information that could assist the regulator's probe on whether the deal will reduce or prevent competition. The Competition Bureau said its review was ongoing and no conclusions have been made. ... Read More on Datafloq
