If software's been eating the world for the past twenty years, it's safe to say machine learning has been eating it for the past five. But what exactly is machine learning? Why should a web developer care? This article by Julie Kent answers these questions. I don't have kids yet, but when I do, I want them to learn two things: Whether or not you believe that the singularity is near, there's no denying that the world runs on data.
The theoretical bases for Machine Learning have existed for decades yet it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that the last AI winter came to an end. Since then, interest in and use of machine learning has exploded and its development has been largely democratized. Perhaps not so coincidentally, the same period saw the rise of Big Data, carrying with it increased distributed data storage and distributed computing capabilities made popular by the Hadoop ecosystem.
The introduction of AI into products and services – across all sectors – is creating new capabilities at a scale that software developers could never have dreamed of just a decade ago. But this development is not just about the tech.
In today’s business world, marketing segmentation is a must have for every organisation.

Through this discipline, you can hold a crucial competitive advantage over your competitors because you can adapt your offer and your communication according to the identified groups of personas you want to address.
We are excited to release Deep Learning for Anomaly Detection, the latest applied machine learning research report from Cloudera Fast Forward Labs. Anomalies, often referred to as outliers, are data points or patterns in data that do not conform to a notion of normal behavior. Anomaly detection, then, is the task of finding those patterns in data that do not adhere to expected norms. The capability to recognize or detect anomalous behavior can provide highly useful insights across industries.
Readers of this blog have probably read about allegro.ai’s partnership with NetApp. Earlier this year the two companies showcased an integrated AI solution at the NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference (GTC) which took place in San Jose, California.
Machine learning is a branch of Artificial Intelligence that makes it possible for systems to learn without being programmed. Applying this technology to real world Marketing is often misunderstood and is within your reach.
Great to hangout with Noah Learner and Jordan Choo and talk about automation in agency life, with some thoughts around Machine Learning thrown in there too.
AI and its enabled tools continue to enthrall business with its promise of efficiency and innovation. But, one of the things AI is also clearly enabling is the bias. We’ve all read the news and heard the scaremongering stories around potential flaws and biases in Artificial Intelligence systems. I believe for this technology to reach its full potential, addressing bias will need to be a top priority.
