How To Empower Employees with AI

August 6, 2019

This article was originally published in Training Magazine. As the global skills gap continues to widen, we’re witnessing increased negative effects on companies’ bottom lines, including low productivity and a long time to proficiency. On-the-job training remains a costly necessity in industrial settings. Machine learning is set to make a huge impact on blue-collar jobs, and it’s not the bogeyman some people fear. There’s a lingering sentiment that blue-collar jobs are...

What’s Missing on The Last Tactical Mile

July 8, 2019

Do you remember the last time you looked up a number in the phone book? How about driving directions from a paper roadmap? Chances are that it’s been a while. We tend to take the digitization of these tasks for granted. We expect to have the information we need readily available with minimal hassle. If I am travelling in a new city for a meeting, I expect my digital calendar to remind me of the meeting’s time, mapping software to tell me how to get there, business...

7 Steps to Crowdsourcing Data for Machine Learning Models

May 2, 2019

As machine learning (ML) becomes increasingly mainstream, companies and investors are looking to apply it to a wider variety of problems. This is challenging because ML models are inherently problem specific; there is no ML model that is universally applicable. In most cases, every new problem requires the developer to design and train a new ML model specifically tailored to that problem. That being said, it is possible to apply the knowledge we gained to solve similar...

How to Use Artificial Intelligence for On-The-Job Training of Blue-Collar Workers

April 4, 2019

For the next 19 years, the United States will see 10,000 baby boomers retire every single day. That’s nearly 70M people leaving the workforce. Across the industrial sector, there are few resources to effectively capture the institutional knowledge and expertise of these workers before they retire. And, what little is captured has not been effectively disseminated to the broader organization. Therefore, new hires joining the workforce do not receive adequate on-the-job...

Making Big Data Small

February 6, 2019

Originally posted on insideBIGDATA. We’re witnessing an incredible evolution where the advent of the Internet of Things (IoT) and the proliferation of sensors are creating more data than we could have previously imagined – big data is the new norm. This trend is expected to continue as sensors become smaller and more affordable. It will soon be possible to integrate them with more devices and gather previously unattainable data. In theory, this will enable us to unlock...
