Click to learn more about author Luca Scagliarini. Artificial intelligence (AI) is on an upward growth trend and there is no sign it will level off any time soon. Recent research by Fortune Business Insights suggests the market will jump nearly tenfold from $27.23 billion in 2019 to $266.92 billion by 2027. This represents a staggering […]
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Data Protection
Artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques are altering the way organizations gather, process, and protect data. They are being used to gather massive amounts of information about internet users in the form of big data, and to secure and protect it. The challenge is how to maximize the use of big data, while simultaneously safeguarding […]
A Brief History of Data Science
The term “Data Science” was created in the early 1960s to describe a new profession that would support the understanding and interpretation of the large amounts of data which was being amassed at the time. (At the time, there was no way of predicting the truly massive amounts of data over the next fifty years.) […]
What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
According to the SAS Institute: “Artificial intelligence (AI) makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can […]
Machine Learning vs. Deep Learning
The debate on machine learning vs. deep learning has gained considerable steam in the past few years. The fundamental strength of both these technologies lies in their ability to learn from available data. Though both of these offshoot AI technologies triumph in “learning algorithms,” the manner in which machine learning (ML) algorithms learn is very […]

The Future of Analytics: What is All the Hype About?
Expert’s ears immediately perk up upon attending a talk about how to get big insights from analytics. After all, analytics has become the new hot topic of the day. However, asked Nipa Basu, during her keynote presentation The Future of Analytics at the DATAVERSITY Enterprise Analytics Online Conference: “What is the difference between hype and […]
What Is Cognitive Computing?
Cognitive computing, a subfield of artificial intelligence, simulates human thought processes in machines using self-learning algorithms through data mining, pattern recognition, and natural language processing. These artificial environments rely on deep learning algorithms and neural networks to process information by comparing it to a teaching set of data. By mimicking human thought processes, computers help people […]
