Orchestrate all the Things
George Anadiotis
Connecting the dots with George Anadiotis: Analyst, Consultant, Engineer, Founder, Host, Researcher, and Writer.
Stories about Tech, Data, AI and Media, and how they flow into each other shaping our lives.
I’ve engaged from the likes of Gary Marcus and Andrew Ng to emerging thinkers and innovators across multiple domains.
My stories have been featured on ZDNet and VentureBeat, and are syndicated across DZone, Hackernoon, Medium and Substack.
Some might call this futurism; let’s just say it’s connecting the dots
Many conversations have a technical focus. Most also examine business perspectives and use cases, while others are socio-technical.
Some are analyses on emerging themes – picking them up early, featuring expert comment, or offering alternative takes.
Others cover breaking news, typically also featuring the people behind them plus some analysis. There are some book reviews as well.
I focus on the connection between data, analytics, data science, graphs, machine learning and AI and their impact on society and business.
I have been covering topics related to:
AI and Machine LearningData, Analytics and Data ScienceKnowledge Graphs, Graph Databases, Graph AI & Data ScienceInnovation, and a wide array of technologies such as Blockchain, Cloud, Observability, IoT, Open Data and Open Source, Social Media and Software Engineering.

Another globally distributed cloud native SQL database on the rise: Yugabyte Raises $30 million in Series B Funding. Backstage chat with CEO and Founders
Your good old on-premise SQL database is in terminal decline. A pure-play open-source cloud-native PostgreSQL, with support for Apache Cassandra and GraphQL interfaces, is what you need.
Or at least, this is what the Yugabyte crew thinks. The company, founded by Facebook data infrastructure veterans, announced that it has raised $30 million in an oversubscribed Series B round to double down on community and team growth. This is a crowded market, but big enough to be a non-zero-sum game.
We connected with Yugabyte founders Kannan Muthukkaruppan and Karthik Ranganathan, and newly recruited CEO Bill Cook, previously of Sun Microsystems and Pivotal, for a deep dive in the company, the funding, and the market.

Scientific fact-checking using AI language models: COVID-19 research and beyond. Featuring Allen Institute for AI Researcher David Wadden
Fact or fiction? That's not always an easy question to answer. Incomplete knowledge, context and bias typically come into play. In the nascent domain of scientific fact checking, things are complicated.
If you think fact-checking is hard, which it is, then what would you say about verifying scientific claims, on COVID-19 no less? Hint: it's also hard -- different in some ways, similar in some others.
Fact or Fiction: Verifying Scientific Claims is the title of a research paper published on pre-print server Arxiv by a team of researchers from the Allen Institute for Artificial Intelligence (AI2), with data and code available on GitHub.
In this backstage chat, David Wadden, lead author of the paper and a visiting researcher at AI2 and George Anadiotis connected to discuss the rationale, details, and directions for this work.
