Today, I’m excited to share that I’ve joined Continual as Head of Marketing. Continual is radically simplifying the path to operational AI with the first continual AI platform built for the modern data stack. More in a bit on what that means, but the “so what?” is about opening the door for more organizations to embed AI across their business at scale.
Feature stores have arrived in 2021 as an essential piece of technology for operationalizing AI. Despite the enthusiasm for feature stores in high-tech companies, they are still absent from most legacy ML platforms and can be relatively unknown in many enterprise companies. We discussed how feature stores are critical to the data-first approach of next-gen ML platforms in our previous blog, but they are important enough to get their own treatment in a full article.
Artificial intelligence is transforming software development. From the code to the deployment, AI is slowly but surely upping its game and helping us discover a brand new paradigm for inventing technology. Algorithm-based machine learning is being used to accelerate the software development lifecycle and AI is supporting developers to optimize software workflow at every stage of the development process.
For our latest expert interview on our blog, we’ve welcomed Dhonam Pemba to share his thoughts on the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) and his journey behind founding KidX AI. Dhonam is a neural engineer by PhD, a former rocket scientist and a serial AI entrepreneur with one exit. He was CTO of the exited company, Kadho which was acquired by Roybi for its Voice AI technology. At Kadho Sports he was their Chief Scientist which had clients in MLB, USA Volleyball, NFL, NHL, NBA, and NCAA.
In 2020, the gaming market generated over 177 billion dollars, marking an astounding 23% growth from 2019. While it may be incredible how much revenue the industry develops, what’s more impressive is the massive amount of data generated by today’s games. There are more than 2 billion gamers globally, generating over 50 terabytes of data each day.
We are roughly a decade removed from the beginnings of the modern machine learning (ML) platform, inspired largely by the growing ecosystem of open-source Python-based technologies for data scientists. It’s a good time for us to reflect back upon the progress that has been made, highlight the major problems enterprises have with existing ML platforms, and discuss what the next generation of platforms will be like.
Everyone wants to manage their data, and if it’s a feature store, even better! But for optimal data management, we must first discuss lightweight zero upfront setup costs and maximizing utility with ClearML-data. ClearML-data mimics the light weightiness of git for data (who doesn’t know git?) and gives it a spin. It is an open-source dataset management tool which is extremely efficient and conveys how we view DataOps and its distinction from git-like solutions, including.
For our latest specialist interview in our series speaking to technology leaders from around the world, we’ve welcomed James Kaplan CEO and Co-Founder of MeetKai. He founded the startup with his Co-Founder and Chairwoman, Weili Dai, after becoming frustrated with the limitations of current automated assistants. Kaplan has had a true passion for AI and coding since he was six. He wrote his first bot at only nine years old and wrote the first original Pokemon Go bot.
What can we say: Research is non-linear, there are tests, and adjustments, and more tests, and more adjustments, and then we add more data, and test some more, and… you know the story.
“More than 15 billion IoT devices will connect to the enterprise infrastructure by 2029.” Finding data is not going to be a challenge, clearly, but taking advantage of it all to drive business outcomes will be. Combining AI and machine learning (ML) with data collection and processing capabilities of the edge and the cloud may hold the answer.
