Continual Learning in AI: How It Works & Why AI Needs It

Like humans, machines need to continually learn from non-stationary information streams. While this is a natural skill for humans, it’s challenging for neural networks-based AI machines. One inherent problem in artificial neural networks is the phenomenon of catastrophic forgetting. Deep learning researchers are working extensively to solve this problem in their pursuit of AI agents that can continually learn like humans.

APM Metrics: The Ultimate Guide

How your software applications perform is an extremely important factor in determining end-user satisfaction. APM metrics are the key indicators that help business-critical applications achieve peak performance. This article explains APM metrics, their importance, and the core APM metrics used by modern software systems to measure and optimize the performance of their applications.

Continuous Data: The Complete Guide

Data is never just data. There are structured and unstructured data, qualitative and quantitative data. Among these varied types, continuous data stands out as a key player, especially in the quantitative realm. Continuous data, with its infinite possibilities and precision, captures the fluidity of the real world — from the microseconds of a website’s load time to the fluctuating bandwidth usage on a network.

TCP/IP: What It Is & How It Works

Network protocols are necessary for data transmission and networking over different devices. One of the most common protocols is the TCP/IP framework, which builds connections through our internet. In fact, if you check email, watch Netflix, or stream music from Spotify, you’re relying on TCP/IP in the background. In this article, you’ll learn about the TCP/IP protocol layers and how they function.
