Machine learning systems create opportunities, challenges for CIOs

Featherston spoke with SearchCIO at the recent Cloud Expo in New York. In this video, he explains how machine learning systems can help CIOs identify patterns in big data sets and delineates how the rail industry is saving money on maintenance costs by putting machine learning algorithms to use. He also explains how to identify what projects are right for machine learning enhancements and enumerates some of the challenges that CIOs should expect when implementing machine learning for big data analytics. What opportunities do machine learning systems offer CIOs? Ed Featherston: It's an interesting new world for CIOs because they've always had lots of data, have tried to analyze it in different ways and identify the patterns that are in there.
