SQL Server 2014: Merge Replication

Merge replication, like transactional replication, typically starts with a snapshot of the publication database objects and data. Subsequent data changes and schema modifications made at the Publisher and Subscribers are tracked with triggers. The Subscriber synchronizes with the Publisher when connected to the network and exchanges all rows that have changed between the Publisher and Subscriber since the last time synchronization occurred. Merge replication is typically used in server-to-client environments. Merge replication is appropriate in any of the following situations: Multiple Subscribers might update the same data at various times and propagate those changes to the Publisher and to other Subscribers. Subscribers need to receive data, make changes offline, and later synchronize changes with the Publisher and other Subscribers. Each Subscriber requires a different partition of data. Conflicts might occur and, when they do, you need the ability to detect and resolve th...

Artifical Intelligence / Machine Learning: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) / Generative Modeling

Image
While there is a lot of buzz on data analysis and understanding data there for applied use of artifical intelligence and machine learning it is less known in the public on what Artifical Intelligence can do regarding generating original content and altering existing content. So called Generative Adversarial Networks can generate or change pictures and can even alter videos. E.g. The website www.ThisPersonDoesNotExist.com gives and interesting and somewhat worrisome examples of that technolgy. The speed at which this technology evolves is as astounding as the results it can give already. The technology can not only be used to generate static content like the pictures of faces, but can also modify videos. There is an example where the same scene filmed by day is recreated to appear at night: Another example illustrates how a video of a horse is transferred to a video of a zebra. As Ian Goodfellow points out the GAN did not only change the brown horse to be white with bla...
