Interview: Ashutosh Garg, CEO at Eightfold.ai - insideBIGDATA

I recently caught up with Ashutosh Garg, CEO at Eightfold.ai to discuss how he and his team have deployed AI and machine learning to help with the needs of the talent management industry. With 6000 research citations, 50 patents, 35 peer-reviewed research publications, and the outstanding Ph.D. thesis award from UIUC for his Ph.D. thesis in Machine Learning, it's fair to say that Ashutosh is one of the world's experts in machine learning. After his time managing Search and Personalization efforts at both Google and IBM Research, Ashutosh founded Bloomreach, a leading vendor for Digital Experience Platforms. Now, he is applying his experience to the problem he is most truly passionate about --helping the world's talent find their most meaningful and fulfilling work. Can you give us a sense for what form of AI/machine learning is being used in your product?
