Seal Software announced today that its first meetup session on advanced concepts in Machine Learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP) was a huge success, with additional sessions being scheduled to meet high attendance demand. The meetup, led by Seal's ML team based in Gothenburg, Sweden, was designed to assemble some of the best minds in ML, describe and explore the newest techniques in the field, and help cultivate the next generation of advancements in this area. Interest in the meetup was also driven by Seal's strong ties to Chalmers University in Gothenburg, a leading technology center in the advancement of data science. The meetup was met with overwhelmingly high demand, with more than twice the number of registrants that could be accommodated. Because of this, Seal plans to schedule additional sessions in order to open the discussion to all community members interested in advanced technology.

Celaton today announced the release of inSTREAM version 6, its intelligent automation platform that applies sophisticated algorithms, including artificial intelligence and cognitive learning, to streamline and automate the processing of semi-structured and unstructured content. Unstructured and semi-structured unpredictable content flows into organisations every day by email, post, paper, fax, social media, web feeds and other electronic data streams and creates challenges for customers due to the cost and need for experienced staff to process it. Unique to inSTREAM is its ability to learn the pattern of content through the natural consequence of processing and monitoring human intervention. Confidence is improved through accelerated learning. Efficiency is improved through accelerated learning.

DEDHAM, MA--(Marketwired - Mar 30, 2016) - Rage Frameworks, a provider of knowledge-based automation technology and services, today announced new deployments of its traceable "deep learning" technology known as Rage AI across several global financial services, consumer products and manufacturing firms. The challenges these organizations faced required the understanding and interpretation of complex documents and integration of other transaction data from enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems to identify significant cost efficiencies and compliance conformance. RAGE AI incorporates deep linguistic parsing and proprietary linguistics-based innovations to understand the real meaning of documents and interpret them as a human would, and can operate completely unsupervised or with assistance by human experts. With its traceable, deep learning technology, RAGE AI significantly extends the frontier of deep learning and machine intelligence from "natural language processing" to "natural language understanding." The platform reads and interprets documents within its context, and as a totally transparent solution, RAGE AI enables knowledge workers to move forward confidently knowing the reasoning behind the platform's insights is completely auditable.

Graph database experts set to discuss GPU accelerated graph query, data analytics and machine learning, and graph database and analytics during April conference. Blazegraph, creator of the industry's first GPU-accelerated high-performance database for large graphs, announced today that company graph database experts will deliver three presentations on using GPUs for graph applications at the GPU Technology Conference (GTC) being held April 4 through April 7, 2016, at the San Jose Marriott and Convention Center in Silicon Valley. GTC is the largest and most important event of the year for GPU developers. This year's event will showcase some of the most vital work being done in the computing industry today, including on artificial intelligence and deep learning, virtual reality and self-driving cars. "GPU-Accelerated Graph Query for Cyber Applications," Jim Carbonaro, Senior Software Engineer at Blazegraph (S6337),Tuesday, April 5, 2016 at 2 p.m. PDT in Marriott Salon 2. Carbonaro will discuss how Blazegraph GPU meets the unique challenges of defending networks in cyberspace by delivering near-real-time performance at very large data scales, using a flexible and updated graph representation to support complex analytics, and supporting existing graph frameworks (RDF, Apache Tinkerpop) and query languages (SPARQL).

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Dato, creator of the popular machine learning platform GraphLab Create (GLC), announced today tools to give scientists, developers and users confidence in machine learning models and predictions. Dato is the first machine learning company to address the industry need for confidence in models and predictions. "Demand for machine learning has spread to large enterprise organizations," said Carlos Guestrin, Dato CEO and Amazon Professor of Machine Learning at University of Washington. "We have more than 80 commercial customers. The need for trust in models and predictions is an indicator of market adoption among established companies."

"Our research shows that a growing number of customers actually prefer self-service channels to answer questions, resolve issues or complete transactions. Yet, automated handling often hits limitations when it comes to handling complex queries or'remembering' information previously mentioned in a conversation," says Dan Miller, Opus Research lead analyst. "As intelligent assistant technology evolves; we anticipate the emergence of highly specialized'intelligent advisors' that know when and how to involve a live agent. Inbenta's Hybrid Chat is the beginning of this progress." "As a transactional e-commerce-based company, having a superior digital customer support program is essential. You wouldn't make your brick and mortar customers search your store without helping them, so why not give them a personalized experience virtually," says Andreia Ferreira, Live Chat Manager, Ticketbis.
