What Does Data Cleansing Mean?
Data cleansing includes various methods for removing and correcting data errors in databases or other information systems. For example, the errors may consist of incorrect (originally incorrect or outdated), redundant, inconsistent, or incorrectly formatted data. Key steps for data cleansing are duplicate detection (detecting and merging the same data sets) and data fusion (merging and completing … [Read more...]
What is ACID in Computing
ACID is an abbreviation in computer science. It describes frequently desired properties of transactions in database management systems (DBMS) and distributed systems. It stands for atomicity, consistency, isolation and durability. They are considered a prerequisite for the reliability of systems. The acronym ACID for characterizing transactions was coined in 1983. Atomicity A transaction is … [Read more...]
The Fundamentals of Microservices
Microservices is composed of independent processes which communicate with each other via language-independent programming interfaces. The services are largely decoupled and do a small job. In this way, they enable a modular design of application software. The idea behind microservices is largely in line with the Unix philosophy - Do One Thing and Do It Well. The services should usually have the … [Read more...]
Basic Principles for Designing Successful Chatbots
The development of chatbots serves to automate business processes. But customer expectations are also an elementary part of the planning process. To make the contact as successful as possible via a chatbot for providers and customers, good project planning should be carried out in advance. Interaction with software via natural language, written in the form of chatbots and also spoken in the form … [Read more...]
What is Small Data?
Small/little data are data of a sufficiently small dimension for human understanding. Both their volume and format make them accessible, informative and actionable for decision making. While the term "big data" refers to machines, micro-data refers to people, small data is what we used to understand simply by the phrase data. The only way to understand big data is to reduce them into visual … [Read more...]
What is Data Fusion?
Data fusion is the process of merging and completing incomplete data sets. It is an important part of information integration. Data in a recipient record is supplemented with the help of a donor record. The donor record consists of variables and the recipient record from variables. The variables are therefore present in both data sets. Based on the donor data set, a model for calculating the … [Read more...]

What is Infrastructure as code (IaC)?
Infrastructure as code (IaC) is a set of mechanisms for managing virtual infrastructure through descriptor files or scripts. Initially dedicated to virtual machines (Instances), the evolution of virtualization offerings has made it possible to manage a full-fledged infrastructure, from instance to network, including the management of the DNS service, Load-Balancing, sub-networks and security … [Read more...]
CAP Theorem Explained
The CAP theorem or Brewers Theorem states that in a distributed system it is impossible to simultaneously guarantee the three properties - Consistency, Availability and Partition tolerance (failure tolerance). According to the CAP theorem, a distributed system can meet two of the following properties at the same time, but not all three. The consistency of the stored data. In distributed systems … [Read more...]
Blackjack Strategies, AI and Cognitive Science
Research in AI and cognitive science try to investigate various learning algorithms. Blackjack is a wonderful game in the sense it doesn’t fall directly into chance and the players who take the time to research and learn the skills of the game have a significant advantage over those who don’t. Researching strategies can be tough as there is certainly a lot of information available out there. … [Read more...]
