The Basics Behind Building Machine Learning Solutions

After decades in research labs, machine learning is now getting enormous attention for real-world applications that harness the technology's formidable power to discern patterns in huge quantities and types of data at high speed: fraud detection, customer 360, facial recognition, workflow management, shopping personalization and much more. The payback of such initiatives can be big. But even greater opportunities lie in creating advanced analytic systems that use machine learning's unmatched ability to see, organize and leverage insights from ever-growing mounds of data to unlock the deep, transformative potential of Big Data and the Internet of Things. To get to the next level of machine learning, companies must develop a sound business case; implement machine learning algorithms for speed at scale; use systems equipped with processors with multiple integrated cores, faster memory subsystems, and develop architectures that can handle massive amounts data in real time. For many organizations, it is an ideal time to build on or begin machine-learning experience, deepen knowledge, and reap the benefits and competitive advantages this sophisticated data analytics technology can provide.
