In this episode of the Data Show, we look back to a recent conversation I had at the Spark Summit in San Francisco with Ion Stoica (UC Berkeley professor and executive chairman of Databricks) and Matei Zaharia (assistant professor at Stanford and chief technologist of Databricks). Stoica and Zaharia were core members of UC Berkeley’s AMPLab, which originated Apache Spark, Apache Mesos, and Alluxio.

The State Of Machine Learning In Apache Spark

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Bruno Fernandez-Ruiz, co-founder and CTO of Nexar. We first met when he was leading Yahoo! technical teams charged with delivering a variety of large-scale, real-time data products. His new company is helping build out critical infrastructure for the emerging transportation sector.

Vehicle-to-Vehicle Communication Networks Can Help Fuel Smart Cities

In this episode of the Data Show, I spoke with Rhea Liu, analyst at China Tech Insights, a new research firm that is part of Tencent’s Online Media Group. If there’s one place where AI and machine learning are discussed even more than the San Francisco Bay Area, that would be China. Each time I go to China, there are new applications that weren’t widely available just the year before. This year, it was impossible to miss bike sharing, mobile payments seemed to be accepted everywhere, and people kept pointing out nascent applications of computer vision (facial recognition) to identity management and retail (unmanned stores).

Machine Intelligence for Content Distribution, Logistics, Smarter Cities, and More

In this episode of the O’Reilly Programming Podcast, I talk with Matt Stine, global CTO of architecture at Pivotal. He is the presenter of the O’Reilly live online training course "Cloud-Native Architecture Patterns," and he has spoken about cloud-native architecture at the recent O’Reilly Software Architecture Conference and O’Reilly Security Conference.
