About
I love a good story – telling, reading and sharing one – it’s what makes me tick. So as a professional communicator, I’m completely in my realm. I get to listen to, learn from and talk with customers everyday as an online community manager for the SAS Support Communities. With a specific focus on the SAS Data Mining and Data Management Communities, I also look after many others just getting off the ground. My community super power is making connections – from member-to-member or member-to-information – so that SAS users have a sense of belonging on the community.
Other responsibilities at SAS have included identifying and developing communications strategies that tell the brand and product story in editorial campaigns. Think content marketing through blogs, web sites, newsletters, and magazines.
Prior to SAS, I wore a double account management and business development hat for G&S Business Communications in the biopharmaceutical, healthcare technology and animal health fields. And before that, I managed pharmaceutical accounts for full-service advertising agency Rockett, Burkhead & Winslow.

Hi Community,
Learn about deep clustering, a deep learning model that incorporates a cluster layer, in this tutorial by @RobertBlanchard. After explaining how deep clustering can minimize a particular error function and the K-L divergence, he shows you how to apply it in SAS.
Here are some resources related to deep clustering:
Video: Autotuning Deep Learning Models Using SAS More tutorials with Robert Blog post: Getting started with deep learning using the SAS Language Article: How to Develop SAS Code to Train a Deep Learning Model for Image Classification
Visit the SAS Studio Community. Doc: Deep Learning Action Set Doc: addLayer Action, which is used to add the cluster layer
And blog posts by @Rick_SAS on the K-L divergence:
The Kullback–Leibler divergence between discrete probability distributions Minimizing the Kullback–Leibler divergence The Kullback–Leibler divergence between continuous probability distributions
