IQVIA is a Global CRO with like 80-90k employees. They do two things really well. Running clinical trials (Phases I-IV) and vacuuming up healthcare data (claims, EMR, sales, etc., https://www.iqvia.com/insights/the-iqvi

Counterpoint to that is when a recruiter initiates contact they are often very coy until they have you on the phone, frequently not even sending a JD until after that first conversation (where this line of questioning usually arises). I get

Does this do experiment tracking similar to MLflow? I’m trying to figure where these two overlap and where they diverge.

A subscription to safaribooksonline.com ($399/year) is my favorite way to spend part of my learning budget. Having access to the entire catalog of O’Reilly (and it’s affiliates) books is awesome. Access to conference recordings from St

Any chance of this being offered for on-prem install in the future? Looks interesting but cloud only makes it a no go for my team.

From my experiences (currently work with several Fortune 100 health insurers/benefits managers, and have previously worked for another large insurer, a major academic medical center, and a large pharma company), healthcare organization

That's fair. Google's recent paper on predicting patient deaths is another good example of this (logistic regression + good feature engineering performed just as well as their deep learning models, and the logistic regression has

I've always viewed DeepMind as more of a skunk works program and less as a profit driven enterprise. DeepMind exists primarily to push the limits of what can be done when you put group of leading researchers together in a room, provide

Being rules based isn't necessarily a bad thing or disingenuous. I develop healthcare AI products (ML/DL researcher) and we actually aim to be able to translate our models into a rules based engine (find a strong signal, interpret

Healthcare data can't be shared the way the browser histories, cell phone location data, etc. can. It's a completely different set of a rules that people have to play by (HIPPA for example). I build machine learning systems using

It depends on the use case. Our work primarily revolves around extending Spark with custom pipelines, models, ensembles, etc. to be deployed into our production systems (petabyte scale). Scala was really the only way to go for us.

Scala is used pretty heavily in the big data world, particularly if you are working with Spark.

Having been privy to some of the contractual details of deals that Google has made with other medical centers, I’m betting that they probably got it for ”free”, as in they didn’t directly pay a set fee to the universities. Google most likel

Wasn’t that already possible via the rJava library?

That's actually a bit out of date. The nightly builds are now 0.7 (not sure I've seen this mentioned beyond Discourse/Github). It will primarily serve as a depreciation release, i.e. things that would have just broke when goi

Zero incentive to move to SF. The cost of living has reached a point where I'd end up taking home less disposable income even with a significant increase over my current base salary and signing bonuses get eaten up by moving expenses.

Absolutely, though as you mention, removing the ability to use packages and the necessity of writing statistical code that properly accounts for data being spread out across multiple nodes would likely be out of the reach of your everyday&#

I don't believe I praised RStudio at any point in that commment and concern about a very realistic potential hurdle that Rodeo may face as it's codebase grows and matures =/= criticism. I have no issues with the speed of the

Thanks for mentioning it. I almost always forget about Spyder. I'm not sure if that says more about me or Spyder.

Julia's biggest hurdle is the lack of well functioning DataFrames (or the current fork, DataTables). Tons of issues around nullable arrays, etc. have really slowed progress. I do think it's got a ton of upside, but I've found

Worth mentioning that Rodeo is still unstable and definitely not a feature for feature equivalent for RStudio (I also worry about speed as the size of the project grows as it's based on the same backend as the Atom IDE which has been d
