Unlocking Data Potential by Combining Labelled and Unlabelled Insights
Most of your data sits unlabeled, and that's not a problem to solve, it's an opportunity to leverage. Semi-supervised learning sits between the fully labeled and the entirely unlabeled, using a small amount of guidance to make sense of the larger, messier whole. This primer walks through the algorithms that make that possible and, just as importantly, where they stumble. It's a practical read for anyone who wants to get more from their data without drowning in annotation costs.
Explore how portable modular data centers can transform AI infrastructure.
Runware is betting that the future of data centers fits in a pod. This week, the AI infrastructure company unveiled Sonic Inference Pod, a modular data center designed to answer a simple question: can portability redefine how we deploy compute?

When to choose simple analysis over machine learning
Not every data question deserves a model, and that is the right instinct to start with. In our experience, the decision to reach for machine learning hinges on whether the problem truly needs pattern recognition at scale or if a transparent analytical approach solves it faster. We often ask: can a simple formula explain this clearly to a stakeholder? If yes, skip the complexity.
Beyond the Model: The Human Work That Powers Supply Chain AI
The engine stalled mid-route, and the spreadsheet that should have flagged the issue sat silent. That moment reveals the real work of a Forward-Deployed Engineer: not building the model, but untangling the messy, human systems around it. In one supply chain project, the AI was the easy part; the hard part was embedding it where decisions actually happen.
Explore how margin of error shapes what polls actually tell us
Polls dominate how we talk about elections, yet their numbers often feel deceptively solid. A margin of error isn't a flaw or a hedge; it's a measure of honesty. Pew's explainer cuts through the noise, showing why that 3-point swing is less about bad polling and more about the limits of any sample. It's a useful reality check for anyone reading a crosstab like a fortune teller. For more on how data tools shape our understanding, explore the Forrester Function piece.

When AI reviews slip through, peer review needs a human filter.
When a researcher posts about NeurIPS 2026's AI-generated reviews, the confusion is palpable. The frustration is justified: if reviewers and meta-reviewers appear to lean heavily on LLM output, what exactly is the consequence? A study without action feels hollow when the integrity of the review process is at stake. We can't assume every case involves blind copy-pasting, but the pattern is concerning. This isn't about policing tools; it's about accountability.
