Playing with Messaging Chatbots in the Omnichannel Contact Center
The proliferation of messaging platforms is forcing companies to shift towards an omnichannel strategy, where they need to be able to contact people in their preferred channel. In this article we will develop an omnichannel messaging chatbot that offers two-way communications over SMS and Facebook using the Twilio Studio visual tool.

Get More Bytes for Your Buck
Lovethesales had to classify one million product data from 700 different disparate sources across a large domain. They decided to create a hierarchy of classifiers through utilizing machine learning, specifically Support Vector Machines. They learned that optimising the way in which the svms were connected together yielded vast improvements in the reuse of labeled training data.

Approximate Queries on WSO2 Stream Processor: Use of Approximation Algorithms in an Applied Setting
In this article, we describe an example real world application of API monitoring which benefits from using approximate stream processing. We developed the application on top of WSO2 Stream Processor as Siddhi extension. Siddhi is the complex event processing library which acts as the event processing engine of WSO2 Stream Processor.

FPGAs Supercharge Computational Performance
Originally used in the development of new hardware, new, cloud-based FPGAs are making the technology more accessible. The dramatic improvements in speed and lower costs over traditional CPUs means more companies can start benefiting from the technology. FPGAs are fundamentally concurrent, which makes them an ideal tool for data-intensive, parallel processing problems.
