The Business Potential of Machine Learning and Cognitive Computing

Recorded - available as on demand webcast

As programs and devices get smarter, special purpose applications will become more adaptable and self-configuring.  Algorithms will improve as they are used and will contain mechanisms to optimize over time.  

This is referred to as “machine learning” - a broad concept representing dozens of approaches and algorithms for improving how technology performs.  Some of these are fully automated and “black boxes” and others require structure and configuration to an organization’s information domain.  This class of technology is related to software becoming ever more  user friendly to the point where systems provide the appearance of understanding human intent.  This emerging field is called “Cognitive Computing” and holds great promise for all fields.  IBM Watson and Apple’s Siri are examples in the space.

The Critical Element of Foundational Architecture

Recently I chaired the Artificial Intelligence Accelerator Institute Conference in San Jose – in the heart of Silicon Valley.  The event has brought together industry innovators from both large and small organizations, providing a wide range of perspectives. For example, the CEO of AI and ML testing startup of Kolena, Mohamed Elgendy and Srujana Kaddevarmuth, Senior Director, Data & ML Engineering, Customer Products, Walmart Global Tech discussed productization of AI solutions and ways to increase adoption. I especially liked the idea of a model catalogue from which data scientists can retrieve data sets and machine learning models that others have built rather than starting from scratch.
