Artificial intelligence (AI) has not only created much-anticipated hype but also has many working applications. Although it is in its infancy in healthcare marketing, there is great enthusiasm and potential for its use to innovate and disrupt creating cost savings and greater returns on investment. 90 percent of healthcare executives predict that they will see […]

Doug Kemp of Innodata spoke about getting key medical data into a form that can be understood and used.  Like many things, components of AI can parse and understand this data but it can’t be done by itself.  In this particular case, getting even small things wrong in your data has huge implications when using […]

Matt Maccaux, Global Field CTO at HPE,  spoke on an interesting topic.  There are plenty of ways to make mistakes with artificial intelligence. Analytics Anti-Patterns (the worst practices) Anti-patterns are what organizations do to solve problems when it “seems” right but really isn’t correct. Volume 1 (presented earlier) Silos of information create duplication of data […]

Many recent machine learning challenges winners are predictive model ensembles. We have seen this in the news. Data science challenges are hosted on many platforms. Techniques included decision trees, regression, and neural networks. And, winning ensembles used these in concert. But, let’s understand the pros and cons of an ensemble approach. Pros of Model Ensembles […]

Many enterprises set out with good intentions to transform their organizations with AI, but fail to deliver without a strong AI Strategy in place.  A game plan that overlooks business requirements and scalability often sets AI journeys up for disappointment and turn leadership off to future investments. But you don’t have to let your past […]

A few years ago, BBC Earth highlighted a memory test performed by a Chimpanzee named Ayumu. The Chimp displayed traits of machine learning (ML) when it was shown the numbers 1 to 9 in a randomized order on a screen and able to correctly remember the sequence when the numbers disappeared almost 90% of the […]

Have you heard about the Human Brain Project? It is one of the largest funded projects to build a super computer that will replicate the molecular architecture of the human brain. This was done to understand how brain comprehends diseases, genomic sequencing, and eventually to correct the defects behind human brains. It included nuero-scientists, data […]

The famous example that would be given about artificial general intelligence (AGI) is when a autonomous car has the rational ability to make a strong decision of what direction to take. Take an example of a car driving in a lane autonomously. It has to make 1 of 2 options in an accident prone path. […]

Without understanding your business objectives, identifying use cases, knowing how your users […]

Gartner predicts a whopping 70% growth in artificial intelligence (AI), while niche vendors such as KenSci and viz.ai are shaking industries with their industry specific intelligence. In addition, software vendors such as Informatica and Microsoft are heavily investing in putting pervasive AI in their own technologies to efficiently use their software for better augmented intelligence […]

Microsoft’s investment of $1 billion in OpenAI to build Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) shows a market trend moving towards the next phase of AI. While this has economic benefits of scale, AGI is only possible if software and hardware work together in perfect harmony. In the last decade, the general AI community has been very […]

Recently, at Informatica World 2019, I heard the importance of data platform in building AI capabilities for the organization. What is interesting is that Informatica, known for their products delivering the “Switzerland of Data”, is now using AI capabilities to enhance their own suite of products with CLAIRE capabilities. In further exploring a few other […]

Gartner stated that AI will create 2.3 Million jobs in 2020, while eliminating 1.8 Million. In my previous blog, “AI Adoption and How to Thrive in 4th Industrial Revolution“, I had written about the importance of humans to co-exist with AI or jeopardize their jobs. Gartner had confirmed this by calling AI a “positive job […]

In a world where over 2.5 quintillion bytes of data is created each day, having a tool to help deliver information to users efficiently is important.
