Application mapping, also known as application topology mapping, is a process that involves identifying and documenting the functional relationships between software applications within an organization. It provides a detailed view of how different applications interact, depend on each other, and contribute to the business processes. The concept of application mapping is not new, but its […]
Types of Machine Learning and Their Applications
Computers have become so ubiquitous that nearly every aspect of our lives revolves around their use, yet the machines haven’t lost their ability to amaze us. The latest jaw-dropping technology is the ability of computers to teach themselves new skills by analyzing huge amounts of data. The many types of machine learning promise to make […]
An Introduction to Reinforcement Learning
In this blog post, I’d like to introduce some basic concepts of reinforcement learning, some important terminology, and a simple use case where I create a game playing AI in my company’s analytics platform. After reading this, I hope you’ll have a better understanding of the usefulness of reinforcement learning, as well as some key […]
Machine Learning Algorithms
Machine learning algorithms establish rules and processes that are used while processing a specific problem. These algorithms analyze data to predict the probable results of certain behaviors. As new data is received, these algorithms learn, optimizing and improving their responses using feedback from previous performances. Combinations of machine learning algorithms can produce artificial intelligence (AI). Machine […]
The Fundamentals of Deep Reinforcement Learning
Reinforcement Learning (RL), a “niche” Machine Learning technique, has surfaced in the last five years. In context-based decision making, Reinforcement Learning helps the machine take action-provoking decision making through a trial-and-error approach to achieve the optimal algorithmic model for a situation. Furthermore, the machine is trained through a reward/penalty-based feedback mechanism, the goal of which […]
2022 and the Emergence of the Natural Language-Enabled Enterprise
The vast amounts of unstructured text is leaving knowledge workers struggling to comb through the sheer volume of information available. This has created a need for humans and artificial intelligence (AI) to work side by side to create a true natural language-enabled enterprise, which allows the organization to deliver business outcomes with an effectiveness that far surpasses […]
Data Annotation Tools for Machine Learning
Click to learn more about author Seapee Bajaj. In machine learning, data annotation involves the labeling of data to illustrate the outcome that is to be predicted by a machine learning model. One needs to mark, label, tag, transcribe, or process a dataset with the features that are required by a machine learning system to learn to […]
How the Three Paradigms of AI/Machine Learning Will Fuel the Tech Evolution
Click here to learn more about Ram Sivasankaran. The rapid evolution and democratization of advanced technology have accelerated humankind’s ability to achieve what was unthinkable even a decade ago. Self-driving cars, robotic vacuums, and the virtual assistant known as Siri have put us not just over the top technologically, but on conceptual overdrive as well. […]
The Next Level of Data Governance, Machine Learning, and Data Science
The term, machine learning dates back to a 1959 article by Arthur Samuel, in which he posited: “Programming computers to learn from experience should eventually eliminate the need for much of this detailed programming effort.” The hope was that data alone could be used to develop models, rather than relying on fixed rules or theory. […]
10 Most Popular Data Mining Algorithms
Click to learn more about author Ramesh Dontha. Learning about data mining algorithms is not for the faint of heart and the literature on the web makes it even more intimidating. It seems as though most of the data mining information online is written by Ph.Ds for other Ph.Ds. Earlier on, I published a simple article […]
