Using SAP HANA Cloud Plattform from ABAP to find root causes for runtime bottlenecks

Hi guys, continuing my previous experiments, I have now set aside AWS Machine Learning for a while and turned towards the SAP HANA Cloud Platform. SAP HCP also offers Machine Learning capabilities under the label of "Predictive Analysis". I was reading a bit and found out about additional capabilities to the prediction like introspection mechanisms on the models you create within SAP HCP Predictive Analysis like, finding key influencing factors...

Synthesizing your voice: WaveNet by Google DeepMind

I remember the day (somewhen in the 90s), when computer generated voices sounded - well synthetic. Today you can still tell the difference between a human and a machine speaking to you. Although they have gotten very good. On the other hand, it's probably good that you can tell a difference. Think about all the implicit expectations, that we would have, if we'd thought a human was speaking to us... But then on the other hand, think about how much already existing content that exists in text form we can leverage given we have a natural sounding...

Creating AWS Machine Learning Models from ABAP

Hi guys, extending my previous article about "Using AWS Machine Learning from ABAP to predict runtimes" I have now been able to extend the ABAP based API to create models from ABAP internal tables (which is like a collection of records, for the Non-ABAPers ;-). This basically enables ABAP developers to utilize Machine Learning full cycle without ever having to leave their home turf or worry about the specifics of the AWS Machine Learning implementations. My...

Using AWS Machine Learning from ABAP to predict runtimes

Happy new year everybody! Today I tried out Amazon's Machine Learning capabilities. After running over the basic AWS Machine Learning tutorial and getting to know how the guys at AWS deal with the subject I got quite exited. Everythings sounds quite easy: Prepare example data in a single CSV file with good and distinct features for test and training purposes Create a data source from that CSV file, which basically means verifying that the column...
