A Note to Readers

As we welcome the New Year — belatedly — I want to extend many thanks to those who read the scribblings on this blog. I’m particularly grateful for the great response to my recent four-part review of the year in machine learning and deep learning.
Looking out over the next several months, some exciting long-form stories are coming: the SQL-in-Hadoop landscape; a roundup of Big Brands’ analytics revenue for 2016; the impact of Europe’s GDPR on machine learning practice; bias in machine learning, and other topics covered in the year-end review. I also plan to continue reporting significant news about open source and commercial machine learning software.
While I expect to publish on a weekly cadence, I don’t plan to resume the daily roundup. Publishing that was a good way to stay au courant with our fast-moving field, but my writing time is limited, and I prefer to spend it exploring single topics in depth.
If anyone is heartbroken about this change, contact me to upgrade to the paid edition. 🙂
