Models predicting the potential spread of the COVID-19 pandemic have become a fixture of American life. Many of these models use typical demographic data, coupled with underlying medical conditions, infection rates, etc. Indeed, the spread of this disease may have made ‘predictive models’ a frequent household topic of conversation. Much discussion has occurred on the […]

  My new course series on Coursera, Machine Learning for Everyone (free access), fulfills two different kinds of unmet learner needs. It’s a conceptually-complete, end-to-end course series – its three courses amount to the equivalent of a college or graduate-level course – that covers both the technology side and the business side. While fully accessible […]

 Segmentation is a hot word these days, and it should be. No matter your business, one direct way to increase revenue is better communication with sales prospects. And better communication is a direct result of the granularity afforded by segmentation. In Enolytics’ home-base industry of wine, we’ve seen revenue results skyrocket six times greater than […]

  This transcript comes from Coursera’s online course series, Machine Learning for Everyone with Eric Siegel. In 57 words, here’s why machine learning’s important: Business needs prediction. Prediction requires machine learning. And machine learning depends on data. Putting that in reverse, we have data, we give it to machine learning, it makes models that predict, […]

IoT technologies increase the accessibility to patient data, enable real-time decision making, and offer ease and efficiency through automation.

IoT-powered software solutions for the healthcare sector are shifting the focus from digitalization to intelligence. IoT technologies increase the accessibility to patient data, enable real-time decision making, and offer huge potential for automation. Combined with predictive modelling and advanced software and hardware capabilities, IoT devices are helping healthcare facilities address some of their most pressing pain points.

  From Coursera’s “Machine learning for Everyone” My new course series on Coursera, Machine Learning for Everyone (free access), is for any learner who wishes to participate in the business deployment of machine learning, no matter whether you’ll play a role on the business side or the technical side. This end-to-end, three-course series is accessible […]

 Are we really at a new stage of so-called industrial development much like how the car replaced the horse and buggy as the main mode of consumer transportation? This would appear to be the case by some thought leaders and practitioner leaders that reinforcement learning (RL) will and should replace traditional prediction analytics as the […]
