Discussion Benjamin De Boe · Jan 9, 2020 Hi there, any Query Plans tonight? Hi, we're planning some work on our SQL Query Plan functionality for a future release of InterSystems IRIS and are interested to hear how you're using them today, or what'd keep you from using them. Rather than try and fit everything in a rigid survey, I thought a simple thread on our beloved DC might also reveal some use patterns that we support or could do a better job on. #Performance #SQL #InterSystems IRIS 3 7 0 314

Announcement Benjamin De Boe · Mar 15, 2019 SQL Developer Experience survey Hi all,In order to prioritize functional requirements for evolving our SQL developer experience, we have prepared a short survey to better understand how you’re currently using and, in an ideal world, would like most to interact with our SQL platform. #SQL #InterSystems IRIS 1 1 0 278
Article Benjamin De Boe · Jan 22, 2019 1m read Using PMML models in your Business Processes Running predictive models natively in an InterSystems IRIS Business Process has of course always been the goal of our PMML support, but somehow never made it into the kit because there were a few dependencies and choices that needed addressing and answering. Anyhow, thanks to some pushing and code kindly provided by @Amir Samary (Thanks again Amir!), we finally got it wrapped in a GitHub repo for your enjoyment, review and suggestions. #Analytics #Business Operation #Interoperability #InterSystems IRIS 1 2 3 452
Announcement Benjamin De Boe · Jan 8, 2019 Survey: using Tableau or Power BI with InterSystems products Hi, As we announced at our Global Summit in October, we are developing dedicated connectors for a number of third-party data visualization tools for InterSystems IRIS. With these connectors, we want to combine an excellent user experience with optimal performance when using those tools to visualize data managed on InterSystems IRIS Data Platform. #Analytics #Cubes #InterSystems IRIS 1 3 0 912
Announcement Benjamin De Boe · Sep 4, 2018 Global Summit 2018 - Make sure you hang out till Wednesday! We’re now less than a month away from our annual conference, the InterSystems Global Summit. This year, we’ll be descending on the beautiful outskirts of San Antonio, a city worth visiting for its wonderful river walkway and its 18th century Spanish Mission, even if it hadn’t been the location of this year’s InterSystems event. Leaving the tourist guidance to the tourist guides, let’s take a closer look at what the conference has in stock for you, including a dedicated post-summit symposium on AI and ML on Wednesday October 3! #Artificial Intelligence (AI) #Analytics #Events #Global Summit 2018 #Machine Learning (ML) #Global Summit 4 0 0 302

Let's take a closer look at how we're making your life as a Data Scientist easier, as you're probably already facing tough big data challenges already, just from the influx of job offers in your inbox! #Artificial Intelligence (AI) #Analytics #Big Data #Distributed Data Management #Java #Machine Learning (ML) #Sharding #InterSystems IRIS 2 2 0 1.6K
Article Benjamin De Boe · Sep 19, 2017 4m read Horizontal Scalability with InterSystems IRIS Last week, we announced the InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, our new and comprehensive platform for all your data endeavours, whether transactional, analytics or both. We've included many of the features our customers know and loved from Caché and Ensemble, but in this article we'll shed a little more light on one of the new capabilities of the platform: SQL Sharding, a powerful new feature in our scalability story. #Artificial Intelligence (AI) #Analytics #Distributed Data Management #ECP #Machine Learning (ML) #Sharding #SQL #InterSystems IRIS 13 11 1 1.6K
Article Benjamin De Boe · Apr 3, 2017 11m read Keeping your iKnow domain synchronized If you've worked with iKnow domain definitions, you know they allow you to easily define multiple data locations iKnow needs to fetch its data from when building a domain. If you've worked with DeepSee cube definitions, you'll know how they tie your cube to a source table and allow you to not just build your cube, but also synchronize it, only updating the facts that actually changed since the last time you built or synced the cube. As iKnow also supports loading from non-table data sources like files, globals and RSS feeds, the same tight synchronization link doesn't come out of the box. In this article, we'll explore two approaches for modelling DeepSee-like synchronization from table data locations using callbacks and other features of the iKnow domain definition infrastructure. #Best Practices #InterSystems Natural Language Processing (NLP, iKnow) 3 2 0 405
Article Benjamin De Boe · Mar 20, 2017 4m read Accessing the iKnow REST APIs in 2017.1 This earlier article already announced the new iKnow REST APIs that are included in the 2017.1 release, but since then we've added extensive documentation for those APIs through the OpenAPI Specification (aka Swagger), which you'll find in the current 2017.1 release candidate. Without wanting to repeat much detail on how the APIs are organised, this article will show you how you can consult that elaborate documentation easily with Swagger-UI, an open source utility that reads OpenAPI specs and uses it to generate a very helpful GUI on top of your API. #Caché #REST API #InterSystems Natural Language Processing (NLP, iKnow) 6 1 0 908
Article Benjamin De Boe · Nov 3, 2016 16m read Getting started with Text Categorization This article contains the tutorial document for a Global Summit academy session on Text Categorization and provides a helpful starting point to learn about Text Categorization and how iKnow can help you to implement Text Categorization models.

Article Benjamin De Boe · Sep 9, 2016 4m read Using complex filters In a conference call earlier this week, a customer described how they built an iKnow domain with clinical notes and now wanted to filter the contents of that domain based on the patient's diagnosis codes. #Best Practices #InterSystems Natural Language Processing (NLP, iKnow) 1 0 0 251
Article Benjamin De Boe · Aug 4, 2016 7m read Creating a domain with the iKnow Domain Architect In previous articles on iKnow, we described a number of demo applications (iKnow demo apps parts 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5) that are either part of the regular kit or can be easily installed from GitHub. All of those applications assumed you already had your iKnow domain ready, with your data of interest loaded and ready for exploration. In this article, we'll shed more light on how exactly you can get to that stage: how you define and then build a domain. #Best Practices #InterSystems Natural Language Processing (NLP, iKnow) 2 0 0 913
