Artificial Intelligence (AI) will be a strategic capability and competitive advantage, no doubt. Statistics speak to that point. According to AI startup advisor Steve Ardire during his presentation (co-presented with Mico Yuk) at the DATAVERSITY® Enterprise Data World Conference titled “Why Enterprise Organizations Use AI as a Strategic Capability and Competitive Advantage,”AI is expected to […]
Data Lineage and Metadata Management: An Innovative Approach
“Every day, companies need to track and trace data movement processes through metadata discovery and data lineage,” emphasizes Amnon Drori, CEO and co-founder of Octopai. This task has not been easy and has often frustrated Drori throughout his twenty-year career. In the past, Drori’s teams have had to spend time checking and rechecking data, a […]
Knowledge Graphs, Ontologies, and AI
This past fall, all aspects of the computable knowledge structure KBpedia – its upper ontology (KKO), full knowledge graph, mappings to major leading knowledge bases, and 70 logical concept groupings called typologies – became open source. Making big strides in increasing definitions and mappings has been a main focus of KBpedia v. 1.60. As it always […]
Streamlining the Production of Artificial Intelligence
People often think the algorithms used for Machine Learning (ML) are the most important factors for developing a successful ML system. However, shrewd Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning systems in production (managing the data at all stages, with multiple models) have much more impact on the success of the model than the specific learning […]
Data Quality’s Importance to Blockchain
What’s the connection between Data Quality and Blockchain? Dan Myers, principal information quality educator at DQMatters and the publisher of The Conformed Dimensions of Data Quality — which seeks to align the Data Management community by using common definitions — addressed the issue during his Enterprise Data World Conference presentation titled “Improved Data Quality Implications […]
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence Trends in 2019
2019 will be a critical year for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) technologies as real-world industry applications demonstrate their hidden benefits and value to the consumers. So far, scientists and researchers have made claims on behalf of AI-enabled technologies, but they have not really been tested in large-scale market applications. We will see […]
Machine Learning Transformed: Data Quality and Operational Necessities
Machine Learning elicits mixed reactions. On the one hand, some consider Machine Learning a company’s new super power that has “swept enterprise technology, using mass amounts of data and algorithms to make predictions.” At the same time Machine Learning has been considered an overhyped fad and a panacea, failing to deliver. While both can be […]
Data Scientist vs. Data Engineer
The Background of Data Science Roles It was thought that the year 2018 would create a huge demand-supply gap in the Data Science market as supply would fail to keep pace with the rising demand for expert Data Scientists. However, the recent buzz from Gartner, which says more than 40 percent of Data Science tasks […]
Kubernetes Fundamentals: Facilitating Cloud Deployment and Container Simplicity
Kubernetes (sometimes abbreviated to “kube”) is open-sourced, was originally developed by Google, and organizes containers into logical units for transport and use in the cloud. Containers support the construction of self-contained environments capable of transporting data, and the software supporting it. Containers are, ultimately, a way to package software and other application components. It is […]
The Semantic Knowledge Graph: A Tribute
Noam Chomsky, the philosopher, cognitive scientist, historian, social critic, and father of modern linguistics, has authored over 1,000 articles and 130 books. The 89-year-old intellectual also has written films and appeared in many documentaries. The substantial work he has done in linguistics and politics has earned him the title of “most cited living author.” Now […]
