Models and data analytics are at the heart of what SAS does. We'll focus on all things models, including general model knowledge, SAS Model Studio and Model Manager, as well as the new lightweight, packaged AI models for February's edition of the SAS Bowl.   Game Details The SAS Support Community trivia event, SAS Bowl XLVIII, All Things Models is scheduled for Wednesday, February 19, at 10:00 AM ET. Register for the event and receive an invite to a Microsoft Teams meeting and a calendar event. On game day, join the Teams meeting and access the game here.   More on Models Yes, this is a broad topic. In this session we'll discuss various aspects of modeling and how SAS leads in this technology. SAS Model Studio can be used with SAS® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning, SAS® Visual Forecasting, or SAS® Visual Text Analytics. With SAS you can create you own models using SAS Model Studio. You can then register and deploy the SAS model in SAS Model Manager. You can also bring your own open source model and enjoy the same experience under the SAS Model umbrella.   Below are portal-related resources we'll use to create questions for the game.   How to Deploy Models in SAS - SAS Users YouTube tutorial by @AriZitin  SAS Viya: Machine Learning - Doc site SAS Visual Forecasting - Doc site SAS Visual Text Analytics - Doc site Creating a Model Nutrition Label: Model Cards for SAS Model Studio Models -  SAS Communities article by @SophiaRowland  End-to-End Guide: Building and Deploying Machine Learning Models in SAS Model Manager - SAS Communities article by @rehab  Artificial Intelligence (AI) Solutions - AI Models Product Page   SAS Bowl and event details For those who may be new to the SAS Bowl, you can find game history and specifics in this Community memo.

The platform provides automatic topic discovery using two unsupervised machine learning methods – singular value decomposition and latent Dirichlet allocation – to group documents based on common themes.

Well, a new SAS developer portal may not be on the top of your Holiday wish list; however, fear not, it’s there! Earlier this year SAS released a new version of developer.sas.com. Please feel free to check it out.    You'll notice that the SAS Viya API documentation is front and center (as should be the case with any developer portal). But wait, there's more. We scoured SAS digital resources and have identified over 200 developer- and API-related use cases. If you're an open source developer, we've got assets to help get you started and interface with SAS Viya.   SAS programmers, you're covered as well. We have a section on the page dedicated to our various SDKs. Further, we have added resources for SAS solutions and technologies which covers things like SAS Viya Workbench, Trustworthy AI, and Customer Intelligence 360, all geared towards developers. Finally, we have links to the Developers Community and the sassoftware resources on GitHub. It's truly one stop shopping.   We have received very positive feedback from both SAS employees and our users. It let’s us know our hard work is paying off.   This is only the beginning though and we will continue to refine the user experience, add content, and one day have an interactive “Try It” button for our APIs. We are striving to deliver an award worthy product! ... View more
