Answers to the three most commonly asked questions about maintaining GDPR-compliant machine learning programs. Much has been made about the potential impact of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) on data science programs. But there’s perhaps no more important—or uncertain—question than how the regulation will impact machine learning (ML), in particular.

Deciding which project should be given top priority is a dilemma that business owners and managers face regularly. For instance, would it serve the company better if it focuses on a $1 million, a three-month-long project first or push through with the smaller project that would cost $20,000 but with a two-week deadline? Sadly, making a concrete decision isn’t easy and often entails blurry visualisations using project management tools that don’t really tell you anything.

It’s never been easy to encrypt email communications fully, from one end to the other. Security experts have long said the only way to secure email from snooping is to use a somewhat-cumbersome multistep process involving a cryptographic key exchange called Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP. Unencrypted emails, which include standard-issue Gmail, Outlook, and Apple Mail accounts, are often said to be about as secure as a postcard.

One challenge that every business face is deciding which project should be prioritised. Would it be in a company’s best interest to embark on a $1 million project that would take three months to finish or a 20-day project that would cost $30,000?

Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability. It’s no surprise given the non-deterministic nature of LLMs. To effectively create reliable LLM-based (often with RAG) applications, extensive testing and evaluation processes are crucial. This often ends up involving meticulous adjustments to prompts.

When we started PlatformX project, we were using full.NET Framework and it was natural to use Roslyn in order to read and analyse C# code. I have to admit that Roslyn, despite some initial problems (see other posts about Roslyn), managed to do the job. However, later on we decided to migrate PlatformX to.NET Core. There were a few reasons behind this decision: We anticipated that in future we may want move to Linux server for example to reduce costs.NET Core is faster.

Multi-tenant architecture allows software vendors to realize tremendous efficiencies by maintaining a single application stack instead of separate database instances while meeting data privacy needs. When you use a data warehouse to power your multi-tenant analytics, the proper approach is vital. Multi-tenant analytics is NOT the primary use case with traditional data warehouses, causing data security challenges.

Computational photography is about enhancing the photographic process with computation. While we normally tend to think that this applies only to post-processing the end result (similar to photo editing), the possibilities are much richer since computation can be enabled at every step of the photographic process—starting with scene illumination. In this article, Toptal OpenCV Expert Radu Balaban walks us through two examples of computational photography: low light and high dynamic range.
