Why Every Web Developer Should Explore Machine Learning

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.

How to Gather Data for Machine Learning

Unless you’ve been living in a cave these last few months (a cave that somehow carries sufficient WiFi coverage to reach our blog), you’ll doubtless have heard about machine learning. If you’re a developer, chances are you’re intrigued. The machine learning algorithm, which solves problems without requiring detailed instructions, is one of the most exciting technologies on the planet.

Part 4: How machine learning, AI and automation could break the BI adoption barrier

In the last three parts of this four-part series, we have looked at: research on the state of analytics today and the lack of BI adoption; the history of BI and how we have arrived at the augmented era; and the four main blockers to BI adoption that is stunting the growth your business data culture. Today, let's take a look at how AI and machine learning (ML) can close that adoption gap.

Part 3: How machine learning, AI and automation could break the BI adoption barrier

In the first blog post of the series, we saw the dire state of analytics adoption. This problem feeds into the low usage and governance of data across organizations. Then, in the second post, we saw how the evolution of analytics has brought us to a prime position for augmented analytics. But will this new wave of augmented analytics break through the barriers to BI adoption?

Part 2: How machine learning, AI and automation could break the BI adoption barrier

If, as we saw in part one of this series, 77% of businesses are 'definitely not' or 'probably not' using analytics to its full extent and the adoption rate of analytics platforms is an abysmal 32%, something drastic needs to happen. Can the era of augmented analytics with its machine learning and AI fix this adoption issue?
