Microsoft has announced today a new means of scaling terabytes of data based on a simple yet robust count-based learning algorithm. This new count-based learning algorithm is called Distributed Robust Algorithm for Count-based Learning, also known as DRACULA, paying homage to the popular children’s classic. Microsoft has written up an in-depth blog post illustrating DRACULA’s use in Azure Machine Learning, allowing the scaling of terabytes of data with just a few clicks. Head over to the VIA link below for the highly-technical and in-depth blog post regarding DRACULA.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web. Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they're looking for.
