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 […]
The Growing Impact of AI on Data Science in 2023
While AI’s ubiquity is becoming increasingly evident through everyday tools like chatbots, smart cameras, and smart content generation, there’s an expansive universe of less recognized but highly potent advancements poised to redefine how data scientists interact with and leverage the burgeoning volume and complexity of datasets. Emerging AI trends such as natural language processing, reinforcement learning, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Deep Learning Updates: Machine Learning, Deep Reinforcement Learning, and Limitations
In recent years, some astonishing technological breakthroughs in the field artificial intelligence (AI) and its sub-field deep learning have begun to train machines to behave like humans. As machines are increasingly emulating complex cognitive functions such as deductive reasoning, inferences, and informed decision-making, robots functioning as humans are a reality in many industry practices today. […]

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. […]
