A quick conversation with most Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) reveals they understand they need to modernize their security architecture and the correct answer is to adopt a machine learning and analytics platform as a fundamental and durable part of their data strategy. However, many CISOs fear deployment of an initial use case will be somewhat daunting. Cloudera has partnered along with Arcadia Data and StreamSets to make it easier than ever for CISOs to take the first step and deploy basic use cases leveraging data sources common to many environments.

Deep learning with Apache MXNet on Cloudera Data Science Workbench
With the abundance of deep learning frameworks available today, it can be difficult to know what to choose for any particular application. Given the contrasting strengths and weaknesses of these frameworks, the ability to work with and switch between more than one is particularly important. Recent Cloudera blogs have shown how examples of applying deep learning on the Cloudera ecosystem using popular frameworks Deeplearning4j, BigDL, and Keras+TensorFlow.

Its enterprise-grade features deliver a mechanism for establishing production-ready clusters in the cloud for big-data workloads and applications in a simple, reliable, automated fashion.
Understanding how Deep Learning learns to play SET®
In the past few years, deep learning has seen incredible success in image recognition applications. In this post I examine how to train a convolutional neural network to recognize playing card images from a game called SET®, explore the structure of the model to get some insight into what it is “seeing”, and present a webcam application that uses the deployed model in a near-realtime setting.
SET is a card game where the objective is to find triples of cards,
A Look at ADLS Performance – Throughput and Scalability
Overview
Azure Data Lake Store (ADLS) is a highly scalable cloud-based data store that is designed for collecting, storing and analyzing large amounts of data, and is ideal for enterprise-grade applications. Data can originate from almost any source, such as Internet applications and mobile devices; it is stored securely and durably, while being highly available in any geographic region. ADLS is performance-tuned for big data analytics and can be easily accessed from many components of the Apache Hadoop ecosystem,
