• Track the success of your program

Make your AI and machine learning program a success with a strategic plan.

Session details coming soon.

The demand for qualified big data experts has outpaced the labour supply. Position yourself to compete for the best and brightest in the field. Create a plan to:

• Identify and attract top talent
• Work with universities to create a supply of qualified big data experts
• Compete for talent against Silicon Valley and other markets

Develop a plan to attract and retain top big data talent.

Artificial Intelligence is the science of training systems to emulate human specific tasks through learning and automation. An AI application serves to automate and accelerate work that would otherwise take human resources and time. Machine Learning provides the intelligence that powers the AI application. We present an example of an AI app: a website where applicants can simply add house location and attributes to estimate home value for a mortgage application. A machine-driven estimate and decision are returned instantly. We will uncover the process of building this app--from Data Preparation and Machine Learning to Deployment.

Many non-profit regulatory bodies face a pressure of being an effective and efficient regulator but having limited funding. In order to achieve its organizational objectives and meet KPMs, organizations must take advantage of collected data and use machine learning to identify trends, patterns and certain indicators that are crucial in making informed decisions about the future. Take back to your office strategies to:

• Introduce affordable machine learning solution to your organization
• Use predictive analytics to optimize the usage of your resources and effectiveness of your programs and processes
• Tell the story through data visualization

Take away practical ideas that you can apply to your organization on how to introduce proactive approach toward regulation and foster a data-driven culture.

Data, even when analyzed, is valueless, unless it can be understood and used by business leaders and frontline workers. Employ visualization to improve the way data is communicated so it can be better used across the business. Source practical tips to:

• Transform complicated data sets into easily understood graphics
• Use visualization to tell the story of data
• Uncover insights not apparent in text format

Improve the way you communicate data through visualization.

Recent breakthroughs in the domain of Artificial Intelligence applications have brought Machine Learning to the forefront of new generations of data analytics. In this workshop, we will present the practice and design trade-offs of building Machine Learning applications for production data and workflow on Big Data platforms.

Join us as we:

• discuss business challenges and best-practices to implementing AI & Machine Learning
• identify use cases that best fit your organization
• provide a foundation to build and productionize Machine Learning applications.

Walk away with a preliminary plan to better understand your data and the impact it will have in your Machine Learning use case.

The event is designed to educate, inform and inspire organizations across all verticals. We look forward to seeing you there!
