According to industry experts, 2024 was destined to be a banner year for generative AI. Operational use cases were rising to the surface, technology was reducing barriers to entry, and general artificial intelligence was obviously right around the corner. So… did any of that happen?

While traditional literature on anomaly detection is centered on statistical measures, the increasing number of machine learning algorithms in recent years call for a structured, general characterization of the research methods for time-series anomaly detection.

I've got a few ideas for DS tooling I was thinking of taking on as a side project, so this is a bit of a market research post. I'm curious what data-scientist specific task/problem is the biggest time suck for you at work. I feel like we're often building a new class of software in companies and systems that were designed for web 2.0 (or even 1.0).

Maps allow us to easily convey spatial information. Here, we show how to create both static and interactive maps by using several mapping packages including ggplot2 (Wickham, Chang, et al. 2022), leaflet (Cheng, Karambelkar, and Xie 2022), mapview (Appelhans et al. 2022), and tmap (Tennekes 2022).

In the hype cycle of data science, I suggest that the "peak of inflated expectations" was in 2012, the "trough of disillusionment" was in 2016, and since then, we have climbed the "slope of enlightenment". Now, as we approach the "plateau of productivity", it's a good time to figure out how we got here and what future we want
