    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.

    [RECORDED] Product Data: Insights for Success - How AI is Automating Product Data Programs

    Artificial Intelligence is changing the way businesses interact with their customers. From hyper-personalized experiences to chatbots built on Large Language Models, AI is driving new investment in digital experiences. That same AI and LLM can also be used to automate your product data program. From data onboarding and validation to generating descriptions and validating images, AI can help generate content faster and at a higher quality level to improve product findability, search, and conversion rates. In our second webinar in the Product Data Mastery series, we’re speaking with Madhu Konety from IceCream Labs to show exactly how AI and product data can work together for your business.

    The Critical Role of Content Architecture in Generative AI

    What is Generative AI? Generative AI has caught fire in the industry – almost every tech vendor has a ChatGPT-like offering (or claims to have one). They are claiming to use the same technology – a large language model (LLM) (actually there are many Large Language Models both open source and proprietary fine-tuned for various industries and purposes) to access and organize content knowledge of the enterprise. As with previous new technologies, LLMs are getting hyped. But what is generative AI?
