You are simply nowhere in intelligent automation and you can go nowhere with artificial intelligence if you haven’t harnessed your data.

The AI & Intelligent Automation Network has reams and reams of content on your structured data and your unstructured data. A decent to good intelligent automation roadmap will plot each data set as well as the means with which to address each data set. A good to above average Chief Data Officer will expound upon the importance of enterprise data and share an inspiring data strategy.

How Data Virtualization Puts Enterprise Machine Learning Programs into Production
Chris Day, Director, APAC Sales Engineering, Denodo 

Advanced data science techniques, like machine learning, have proven an extremely useful tool to derive valuable insights from existing data. Platforms like Spark, and complex libraries for R, Python and Scala put advanced techniques at the fingertips of the data scientists. However, these data scientists spend most of their time looking for the right data and massaging it into a usable format. Data virtualization offers a new alternative to address these issues in a more efficient and agile way.

Attend this session to learn how companies can use data virtualization to:

• Create a logical architecture to make all enterprise data available for advanced analytics exercise
• Accelerate data acquisition and massaging, providing the data scientist with a powerful tool to complement their practice
• Integrate popular tools from the data science ecosystem: Spark, Python, Zeppelin, Jupyter, etc.
