DevOps Release Management

2021-03-12T03:59:40+00:00April 28th, 2020|Tags: |

Continuous integration is the crown jewel of DevOps release management. When everything else works and continuous integration is enabled, multiple releases are enabled daily. The most important focus in this course are the enablers [...]

Advanced Machine Learning Masterclass I

2024-02-08T02:27:01+00:00March 1st, 2019|Tags: , |

This course is for experienced machine-learning practitioners who want to take their skills to the next level by using R to hone their abilities as predictive modellers. Trainees will learn essential techniques for real machine-learning model development, helping them to build more accurate models. In the masterclass, participants will work to deploy, test, and improve their models.

Understand Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Cryptocurrency

2024-03-14T07:12:30+00:00February 21st, 2019|Tags: , , , |

Blockchain is one of the most disruptive and least understood technologies to emerge over the previous decade. This course gives participants an intuitive understanding of blockchain in both public and private contexts, allowing them to distinguish genuine use cases from hype. We explore public crypto-currencies, smart contracts and consortium chains, interspersing theory with case studies from areas such as financial markets, health care, trade finance, and supply chain. The course does not require a technical background.

DevOps Management and Governance

2021-07-16T04:24:45+00:00April 28th, 2020|Tags: |

A company with strict governance processes can hugely benefit from DevOps but it still needs governance. DevOps is different, it prioritises automation over documentation. That brings a new perspective to governance. This course has [...]

Quantum Computing

2021-03-12T03:57:56+00:00February 22nd, 2019|Tags: , , , |

This course is an introduction to the exciting new field of quantum computing, including programming actual quantum computers in the cloud. Quantum computing promises to revolutionise cryptography, machine learning, cyber security, weather forecasting and a host of other mathematical and high-performance computing fields. A practical component will include writing quantum programs and executing them on simulators as well as on actual quantum computers in the cloud.

The Future of Analytics

2021-07-23T01:04:45+00:00May 18th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , , |

This full day workshop examines the trends in analytics deployment and developments in advanced technology. The implications of these technology developments for data foundation implementations will be discussed with examples in future architecture and deployment. This workshop presents best practices for deployment of a next generation data management implementation as the realization of analytic capability for mobile devices and consumer intelligence. We will also explore emerging trends related to big data analytics using content from Web 3.0 applications and other non-traditional data sources such as sensors and rich media.

Advanced Deep Learning

2021-07-26T01:19:34+00:00December 5th, 2018|Tags: , |

This course provides a more rigorous, mathematically based view of modern neural networks, their training, applications, strengths and weaknesses, focusing on key architectures such as convolutional nets for image processing and recurrent nets for text and time series. This course will also include use of dedicated hardware such as GPUs and multiple computing nodes on the cloud. There will also be an overview of the most common available platforms for neural computation. Some topics touched in the introduction will be revisited in more thorough detail. Optional advanced topics may include Generative Adversarial Networks, Reinforcement Learning, Transfer Learning and probabilistic neural networks.

Advanced Fraud and Anomaly Detection

2021-04-13T04:01:44+00:00February 12th, 2019|Tags: , |

The detection of anomalies is one of the most eclectic and difficult activities in data analysis. This course builds on the basics introduced in the earlier course, and provides more advanced methods including supervised and unsupervised learning, advanced use of Benford’s Law, and more on statistical anomaly detection. Optional topics may include anomalies in time series, deception in text and the use of social network analysis to detect fraud and other undesirable behaviours.

Innovating with Best Practices to Modernise Delivery Architecture and Governance

2021-07-23T01:01:04+00:00May 20th, 2019|Tags: , , , , , |

Organisations often struggle with the conflicting goals of both delivering production reporting with high reliability while at the same time creating new value propositions from their data assets. Gartner has observed that organizations that focus only on mode one (predictable) deployment of analytics in the construction of reliable, stable, and high-performance capabilities will very often lag the marketplace in delivering competitive insights because the domain is moving too fast for traditional SDLC methodologies. Explorative analytics requires a very different model for identifying analytic opportunities, managing teams, and deploying into production. Rapid progress in the areas of machine learning and artificial intelligence exacerbates the need for bi-modal deployment of analytics. In this workshop we will describe best practices in both architecture and governance necessary to modernise an enterprise to enable participation in the digital economy.
