Cloud Data Science 10

Lots of happenings this week. The Cloud Data Science world is keeping busy.

Also, the coronavirus is affecting many upcoming conferences, so just be aware of that.

News

Honeywell has announced the development of the most powerful quantum computer in the world
They are partnering with Microsoft Azure so eventually it will be a part of Azure Quantum
Google Cloud Speech to Text got many updates
It now supports 7 new languages, has better punctuation, understand whom is speaking, and more
Google Cloud TPU pods are Generally Available
Google calls them custom-built AI super computers
Azure CosmosDB has a free tier
This is a nice new feature. The service is awesome but used to be a bit spendy to try out.
Azure HDInsight now supports Apache analytics projects
This announcement includes Spark, Hadoop, and Kafka. The frameworks in Azure will now have better security, performance, and monitoring.
AWS DeepRacer 2020 Season is underway
This looks to be a fun project. I might have to join in the future.

Courses

The first course in the Mastering Azure Machine Learning sequence has been released. It is titled, Building Your First Model with Azure Machine Learning.

Controlling legend appearance in ggplot2 with override.aes

[This article was first published on Very statisticious on Very statisticious , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers ]. (You can report issue about the content on this page here ) Want to share your content on R-bloggers? click here if you have a blog, or here if you don't. In ggplot2 , aesthetics and their scale_*() functions change both the plot appearance and the plot legend appearance simultaneously. The override.aes argument in guide_legend() allows the user to change only the legend appearance without affecting the rest of the plot. This is useful for making the legend more readable or for creating certain types of combined legends. In this post I’ll first introduce override.aes with a basic example and then go through three additional plotting scenarios to how other instances where override.aes comes in handy. Table of Contents R packages Introducing override.aes Adding a guides() layer Using the guide argument in scale_*() Changing multiple aesthetic par...

Zooming in on maps with sf and ggplot2

(This article was first published on r-bloggers – WZB Data Science Blog , and kindly contributed to R-bloggers) When working with geo-spatial data in R, I usually use the sf package for manipulating spatial data as Simple Features objects and ggplot2 with geom_sf for visualizing these data. One thing that comes up regularly is “zooming in” on a certain region of interest, i.e. displaying a certain map detail. There are several ways to do so. Three common options are: selecting only certain areas of interest from the spatial dataset (e.g. only certain countries / continent(s) / etc.) cropping the geometries in the spatial dataset using sf_crop() restricting the display window via coord_sf() I will show the advantages and disadvantages of these options and especially focus on how to zoom in on a certain point of interest at a specific “zoom level”. We will see how to calculate the coordinates of the display window or “bounding box” around this zoom point. Loading t...
