Today we’re excited to announce the public beta launch of Continual, the first operational AI platform built specifically for modern data teams and the modern data stack. We’re also announcing our $4M Series Seed, led by Amplify Partners, and joined by Illuminate Ventures, Wayfinder, DCF, and Essence, as well as new partnerships with Snowflake and dbt Labs.
Today we’re pleased to announce Continual Integration for dbt. We believe this is a radical simplification of the machine learning (ML) process for users of dbt and presents a well-defined path that bridges the gap between data analytics and data science. Read on to learn more about this integration and how you can get started.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized how various industries operate in recent years. But with growing demands, there’s a more nuanced need for enterprise-scale machine learning solutions and better data management systems. The 2021 Data Impact Awards aim to honor organizations who have shown exemplary work in this area.
It’s easy to take continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery/deployment (CD) for granted these days, but these have been transformational concepts that have drastically changed the face of software development over the past thirty years.
While CI/CD is synonymous with modern software development best practices, today’s machine learning (ML) practitioners still lack similar tools and workflows for operating the ML development lifecycle on a level on par with software engineers. For background, follow a brief history of transformational CI/CD concepts and how they’re missing from today’s ML development lifecycle.
Business analytics (BA) is the process of evaluating data in order to gauge business performance and to extract insights that may facilitate strategic planning. It aims to identify the factors that directly impact business performance, such as ie. revenue, user engagement, and technical availability. BA takes data from all business levels, from product and marketing, to operations and finance.
Organizations in the financial services sector face a unique set of challenges as they consider how to wrangle and process the vast amount of data they collect. During our Financial Services Summit, I was lucky enough to speak to Brian Anthony, chief data officer for the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (MSRB), to learn how the MSRB is integrating technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to modernize its data.
For the next interview in our series speaking to technology and IT leaders around the world, we’ve welcomed experienced CIO and lead AI expert at BagsID, Erik Van Breusegem to share his thoughts on the current state of AI.
In part 1 of this blog post, we discussed the need to be mindful of data bias and the resulting consequences when certain parameters are skewed. Surely there are ways to comb through the data to minimise the risks from spiralling out of control. We need to get to the root of the problem. In 2019, the Gradient institute published a white paper outlining the practical challenges for Ethical AI.
