Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence : stop doing POCs. Start using data !

What are you doing yourself? We work for the Chief Data Officer of a CAC40 company who even decided to make his 2017 tagline as "Zero POC!". Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence are not anymore reserved to Amazon, Facebook or Google. However, very few initiatives (less than 1/3rd) deliver some measurable ROI. To overcome this hurdle, it is however somewhat rather simple. For a change, do not start only investing hundred thousands or millions euros building a data lake… We quite often see that a couple of hundreds megabytes already offer very rich insights to train predictive models. And plugging a simple but well designed bot with powerful NLP (Natural Language Processing) to your legacy BI datawarehouses free up tremendous hidden value.
