If you’ve mostly worked with relational databases, you’re missing out on the vast possibilities of NoSQL. Time to discover a world beyond rows and tables. When developers first think about managing data or choosing a database for their application, the first thing that often comes to their mind is —

The best tools for object storage, including MinIO, Cyberduck, and more, to efficiently manage and store unstructured data in modern cloud environments. Object storage is a data storage architecture that manages information as discrete units called objects, rather than as files in folders or blocks on servers.

Data Scientists and Machine Learning Engineers have long been involved in preparing the ideal datasets for training and evaluating successful models. However, over the past few years, I’ve noticed a significant increase in the importance of curating these datasets within the data function.

Gradient boosting machine (GBM) is an ensemble technique which combines weak models, usually decision trees. Each tree corrects the errors of the previous one in sequence. GBM improves predictions by focusing on residuals, and is used for classification and regression tasks.
