Re: New addition to SAS/ACCESS software family - SAS/ACCESS to Amazon Redshift

AnnaBrown — Mon, 30 Aug 2021 13:43:21 GMT

Hi @PrabhakarC,

Thanks for your question! If you've not already, I suggest opening a SAS Technical Support track for this scenario. The team there should be able to work through this with you.

Hi @jimbarbour,

Thanks for tuning into the show, in both locations! Yes, many SAS employees were watching right along with you. I asked around and the streaming speed between the LinkedIn and YouTube versions was about the same for them.

RE: the blurry view. Perhaps expanding your video window to full screen would help for next time. Speaking of, definitely subscribe to the SAS Users YouTube channel to get notified about the Sept. show!

Video: How to Pick Hyperparameters of Machine Learning Models

AnnaBrown — Mon, 09 Aug 2021 20:09:34 GMT

If you’re spending too much time model tuning, learn about the BAAM (Baseline Autotune Adjust Monitor) approach in this video presented by SAS' Aurora Peddycord-Liu. She tells you about the differences between parameters and hyperparameters and demonstrates hyperparameter autotuning in SAS Model Studio.

Also check out this video from Aurora:

Hi @jimbarbour,

I'll chime in here. That is correct, this Community Event listing is the same event that @brianaullman is referencing above. And I hear you on the convenience of a direct link to the SAS LinkedIn Live event, but there's not one unfortunately. It is just a matter of going to the SAS LinkedIn page and finding the live video there. Here is the event promotion from the SAS LinkedIn page for reference.

Otherwise simply tune into YouTube and you'll get the same show. 🙂 "See" you there!
