Hi Community,

Please welcome the new video, specially recorded by @Renato Banzai for the InterSystems IRIS AI Programming Contest: 

⏯ IRIS ML Suite Demo

A few months ago, I read this interesting article from MIT Technology Review, explaing how COVID-19 pandemic are issuing challenges to IT teams worldwide regarding their machine learning (ML) systems.

Such article inspire me to think about how to deal with performance issues after a ML model was deployed.

Hey Developers! 

Join our next competition in creating open-source solutions using InterSystems IRIS Data Platform! Please welcome:

➡️ InterSystems IRIS AI Programming Contest ⬅️

Duration: June 29 – July 19, 2020. 

Hi Developers!

Here in Developers Community, we have posts, which are categorized by tags. Tags - are specific topics, which relate to InterSystems products, InterSystems services, or any concept related to software development, deployment, or maintenance etc. 

Tag is a helpful thing because it gives the option to follow/subscribe to the tag, filter the search by the tag,  understand how popular or not unpopular the topic and more.

And we have a problem!

Actually two problems. The tags for the post are selected by the author of the post, and we have the following issues: the author chooses wrong tags for a post, and the post lacks proper tags.

And we think this problem could be solved with AI/ML approach and so we suggest you solve it during the InterSystems IRIS AI Contest.

Hi developers!

We are starting InterSystems AI Programming Contest next week, and according to the rules, you can include some technology IRIS Features into your solutions, which will give you extra points in the voting.

Here are the technology bonuses for InterSystems AI Programming Contest!

1. IntegratedML usage - 2 expert vote points

IntegratedML is a new technology Introduced in InterSystems IRIS which you can use with InterSystems IRIS 2020.2 Advanced Analytics Preview release. IntegratedML:

• Gives users the ability to create, train, and deploy powerful models from simple SQL syntax without requiring data scientists.
• Wraps "best of breed" open source and proprietary "AutoML" frameworks including DataRobot.
• Focuses on easy deployment to IRIS, so you can easily add machine learning to your applications.

Learn more in IntegratedML Resource Guide.

You can use with IntegratedML template.

2. Python Gateway usage - 1 expert vote point

Python Gateway is an addon to InterSystems IRIS which gives you the way to use Python in InterSystems IRIS environment:

• Execute arbitrary Python code.
• Seamlessly transfer data from InterSystems IRIS into Python.
• Build intelligent Interoperability business processes with Python Interoperability Adapter.
• Save, examine, modify and restore Python context from InterSystems IRIS.

Learn more about Python Gateway.

You can use the Python Gateway template, which includes IntegratedML too.

3. Docker container - 1 expert vote point

The application gets a 'Docker container' bonus if it uses InterSystems IRIS  running in a docker container. 

Both templates, IntegratedML template and  Python Gateway template use docker so you can collect this bonus if you build your solution using these templates.

Or you can use any other Docker-based templates, published on Open Exchange.

Feel free to ask any questions about using the listed technologies.

Good luck in the competition!

Keywords:  PyODBC, unixODBC, IRIS, IntegratedML, Jupyter Notebook, Python 3

Purpose

A few months ago I touched on a brief note on "Python JDBC connection into IRIS", and since then I referred to it more frequently than my own scratchpad hidden deep in my PC. Hence, here comes up another 5-minute note on how to make "Python ODBC connection into IRIS".

Creating a Chatbot with IRIS and Python

In this article I'm going to show how to integrate the InterSystems IRIS Database with Python to serve a Machine
Learning Model of Natural Language Processing (NLP).

Hi Developers,

New to machine learning? Watch this video on InterSystems Developers YouTube to understand the basic concepts of machine learning and how it provides value in applications around the world today: 

⏯ What is Machine Learning?

Hi Community,

We're pleased to invite you to join the upcoming InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talk: Data Science, ML & Analytics on April 21st at 10:00 AM EDT!

In this first installment of InterSystems IRIS 2020.1 Tech Talks, we put the spotlight on data science, machine learning (ML), and analytics. InterSystems IntegratedML^TM brings automated machine learning to SQL developers. We'll show you how this technology supports feature engineering and chooses the most appropriate ML model for your data, all from the comfort of a SQL interface. We'll also talk about what's new in our open analytics offerings. Finally, we'll share some big news about InterSystems Reports, our "pixel-perfect" reporting option. See how you can now generate beautiful reports and export to PDF, Excel, or HTML.

Hi Developers,

Please welcome a new video on InterSystems Developers YouTube Channel:

⏯ Machine Learning 201: Deep Learning

Hi all. Yesterday I tried to connect Apache Spark, Apache Zeppelin, and InterSystems IRIS. During the process, I experienced troubles connecting it all together and I did not find a useful guide. So, I decided to write my own.

Dear Community, 

We're pleased to invite you to "ConferencIA", a conference about data and AI, which will take place on February 20 in Madrid, Spain!

At the event, both InterSystems experts and external thought leaders will share success stories and real projects, where AI is already a reality.

In addition to our webinar on machine learning (https://community.intersystems.com/post/rescheduled-webinar-its-machine-learning-not-rocket-science-july-31-1100-am-edt), we are pleased to announce a basic introduction to machine learning presentation that provides an overview of the basic algorithms by @Donald Woodlock, InterSystems VP of HealthShare Platforms.

InterSystems IRIS ML Toolkit adds the power of InterSystems IntegratedML to further extend convergent scenario coverage into the area of automated feature and model type/parameter selection. The previous "manual" pipelines now collaborate within the same analytic process with "auto" pipelines that are based on automation frameworks, such as H2O.
