In the geoscience community, collaboration is critical. Different disciplines — engineering geologists, geochemists, hydrologists — need to share their findings with each other to address big questions about the earth. Take climate change. What factors contribute to it? What impact will it have? Oceanographers who study the dynamics of oceans do their work individually […]
Can Your Organization Avoid AI Failures?
Artificial intelligence (AI) initiatives come as businesses enthusiasm for the technology grows, and AI initiatives go as the excitement fades in the face of false starts and little proof of value. It doesn’t have to be that way. Early AI adopters are actually ramping up their AI investments and launching more projects — and getting […]
Artificial Intelligence and Enterprise Knowledge Graphs: Better Together
At the heart of things, an enterprise knowledge graph supports decision and process augmentation based on linked data. These models of knowledge domains are created by subject matter experts with the help of machine learning algorithms. They live as virtual data layers on top of existing databases or data sets to link both structured and […]
So You Want to be a Machine Learning Engineer?
Ideally, a machine learning engineer would have both the skills of a software engineer and the experience of a data scientist and data engineer. However, data scientists and software engineers usually come from very different backgrounds, and data scientists should not be expected to be great programmers, nor should software engineers be expected to provide […]
The Internet of Things: Architecture, Edge Computing, Use Cases, and the Future
The Internet of Things (IoT) is not, by itself, a technology. The IoT is the “concept” of connecting electrical devices to the internet. This includes smartphones, washing machines, coffee makers, lamps, and wearable devices. The IoT also applies to the components of machines, such as jet engines or the drills of oil rigs, and is […]
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning Explained
The first reference to artificial intelligence was in a paper written by Alan Turing in 1950, entitled Computing Machinery and Intelligence, where he asked the question, “Can machines think?” Turing’s article, as well as a 1977 paper entitled History of Artificial Intelligence by P. McCorduck are recommended reading for those wanting a greater understanding of […]
Enterprise Data Unification and Knowledge Graphs: Making Complexity Simple
A challenge for large businesses working with data is how to manage and unify it. Many companies, seeking to better utilize their data, collect massive amounts of data regarding their customers’ online activity, preferences, and demographics. This can lead to the development of vast data lakes. Without a screening process, a data lake will enable […]
How Will Future Data Scientists Augment Machine Intelligence?
Our future will rely on advanced technologies like Data Science (DS) and machine learning (ML). These technologies not only enable people to convert machine language into comprehensible human language and improve images, but they also help us understand past incidents, shape the present outcomes, and accept the inevitability of future events. The future potentials lie […]
Machine Learning at the Center of Quality Data Integration
Machine learning, as we know, isn’t magic, though it may seem that way sometimes. But it can be at the center of enterprise data integration and cross-domain Master Data Management efforts that may deliver millions of dollars in cost savings and other benefits. In the case of large organizations that have gone through multiple acquisitions, […]
Big Data Ecosystem Updates: Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and the Edge
One of the recent stories within the Big Data ecosystem is that Cisco is joining the AI Hardware frame with a new deep learning server powered by eight GPUs. Cisco is promising support within its AI push for Kubeflow, “which is an open source tool that makes TensorFlow compatible with the Kubernetes container orchestration engine,” […]
