At Cloudera Fast Forward we work to make the recently possible useful. Our goal is to take the incredible data science and machine learning research developments we see emerging from academia and large industrial labs, and bridge the gap to products and processes that are useful to practitioners working across industries. In the past year, […]
Recently, Cloudera Fast Forward held a webinar on automated question answering. What is automated question answering, you ask? In its simplest form, it’s a human-machine interaction to extract information from data using human language. This is a pretty broad definition that encapsulates the idea that machines don’t inherently understand human language any more than humans […]
At Cloudera Fast Forward, we see model interpretability as an important step in the data science workflow. Being able to explain how a model works serves many purposes, including building trust in the model’s output, satisfying regulatory requirements, model debugging, and verifying model safety, amongst other things. We have written a research report (which you […]
Cloudera Fast Forward is an applied machine learning research and advisory group at Cloudera. We explore newly possible machine learning and artificial intelligence technologies, and help enterprises understand and adopt them, empowering organizations to continually grow and differentiate by leveraging their available data. Enabling ethical and responsible ML outcomes for our customers is one of […]
At Cloudera Fast Forward, we routinely report on the latest and greatest in machine learning capabilities. Typically, our applied research culminates in a series of comprehensive reports released on a quarterly basis, along with a live webinar demonstrating the prototypes we build in conjunction with that research. But times they are a-changin’ and we’re experimenting […]
In 2019, organizations invested $28.5 billion into machine learning application development (Statistica). Yet, only 35% of organizations report having analytical models fully deployed in production (IDC). When you connect those two statistics, it’s clear that there are a breadth of challenges that must be overcome to get your models deployed and running. Common obstacles are […]
You did it. You have machine learning capabilities up and running in your organization. Success! What started as a few nascent experiments (and maybe a few failures) are now carefully constructed models racing along in full production—with the ability to scale into the hundreds or thousands of productional models in sight. Assembling your expert team […]
A secret to adopting machine learning that has nothing to do with the actual technology. It’s all about embracing an open mindset. Machine learning has the potential to transform your business. To automate processes, uncover new insights, make your products and services better, and customers happier. Integrating the capability into your organization requires operational transformation […]
The theoretical bases for Machine Learning have existed for decades yet it wasn’t until the early 2000’s that the last AI winter came to an end. Since then, interest in and use of machine learning has exploded and its development has been largely democratized, all of this fed by the widespread availability of: cheap, abundant […]
