Why a closed loop is key for machine learning
By now, the positive impact of digitalization in manufacturing environments is widely recognized — reduced costs, improved operational efficiency and greater productivity. But digitalization is not fulfilled by making just a single change. It is a…
Artificial intelligence: instructions for use
Artificial intelligence does not have an unambiguously accepted definition. This is because AI is not a stand-alone technology but a combination of different technologies that, properly orchestrated with each other, allow machines to act, almost, autonomously.…
Ensemble Modeling: How to Improve Machine Learning
What is Ensemble Modeling? Ensemble Modeling is a technique used to improve the results of Machine Learning projects. This Ensemble Modeling technique allows to obtain a better predictive performance compared to the models from which it…
Human-in-the-loop: humans and machine learning
Machine Learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that deals with creating systems that learn or improve performance based on the data they use: it has unprecedented computational capacity, but on its own it cannot…
IoT and Logistics: How IoT and AI are transforming logistics?
Logistics is difficult because it is hard to keep track of everything. Although most logistics and transportation service providers use mobile technology, changes in regulatory environments, rising labor costs, increased traffic, and volatile fuel prices can…
Difference Between AI and Cognitive Computing
Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Computing are often used as interchangeable terms, and as much as both refer to machines with human-like capabilities, there are some big and important differences. AI, some basic notes AI is talked…
How Data & AI Can Help Make Utility Line Inspections Safer
Electricity is fundamental to our society. As climate change becomes more severe and demand for clean energy increases, the future is the electrification of everything and along with it, the need for reliable energy. The U.S.…
Boosting Streaming Analytics with Machine Learning for Deeper Insights
We live in a world of increasingly smart and interconnected devices. From power grids to industrial control systems and vehicle fleets, IIoT devices are proliferating. Recent estimates project that there will be well over 24 billion…
Is Industrial Artificial Intelligence destined for an “AI Winter”?
Few areas in computer science have, over the years, repeatedly created as much interest, promise, and disappointment, as the field of artificial intelligence. The manufacturing industry, now the latest target application area of “AI”, puts much…
Artificial intelligence in the production processes
The new challenge is to have a deeper knowledge of how and why artificial intelligence generates its results, restoring the necessary centrality of decision-making processes to man. With the recent developments, in recent years, in the…
