Surmounting Data Diversity: The Challenges for AI, Machine Learning and Those Who Depend on the Mission Critical Results

LIVE WEBINAR
Date: Thursday, October 28, 2021
Time: 11:00 AM Eastern Daylight Time


Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms that  uses multiple layers to progressively extract higher-level features from the raw input. For example, in image processing, lower layers may identify edges, while higher layers may identify the concepts relevant to a human such as digits or letters, or faces.

Attendees will hear about:

  • How COVID-19 has acted as a catalyst for telemedicine and a dominant power to overcome forces that inhibit change (Machiavellian forces).
  • How Y2K helped to globalize many industries and compel arrogant organizations who had resisted change.
  • How 9/11 acted as a major force to enact reform and automation in the global banking industry.
  • Current Advancements in Data Extraction/OCR, machine learning, and supply chain for electronics and semiconductor industry.
