Sutton Bank is an FDIC-regulated, Ohio state-chartered bank. They have been in the payment business about 20 years, specifically in the prepaid space. Jeff Lewis, Senior Vice President of Payments and Prepaid Card Services at Sutton Bank, says that payment and card services are an increasingly popular offering for financial institutions, provided they can keep […]
The Data Analysts of the Future: What Will They be Doing?
The need for citizen data scientists — people who can use real-time, data-powered insights — will be on the rise with the widespread availability of data and AI-enabled, self-service analytics platforms. So, the best job of the century may be at risk. Smart machine learning algorithms can analyze and interpret data, and even produce content […]
Case Study: Nearmap Advances AI-driven Location Intelligence
If a picture is worth a thousand words, but still missing valuable location data, then why not use artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to fill in the gaps? Take the image of Perth, Australia, below: This graphic below shows vast data sets containing buildings, green spaces, roads to travel, and parking lots. Drill […]
Data Governance and Machine Learning
Top management are pressuring their organizations to adopt advanced AI-enabled solutions, so Data Management challenges continue to mount on technology teams. The technology decision-makers are increasingly realizing that without a firm Data Strategy provisioning enterprise-wide supply of data on demand, machine learning and AI adoption will remain just a buzz. For most businesses today, this […]
Case Study: Semantic Web Ontologies and Geoscience Collaboration Helps the Planet
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
