Nomis Solutions today announced that Frank Rohde, the President and CEO of Nomis will be participating in a panel discussion entitled, "Artificial Intelligence (AI) vs. Humans in Banking" at Banking Disrupted, a leadership summit to be held at the Silicon Valley Elks Lodge in Palo Alto, CA. on Sept. 14 -15, 2016. The panel discussion will begin at 2:45 pm on Sept. 14, 2016 and include executives and user experience professionals from leading technology companies including GainX, ecosystem.AI and WiseBanyan. Algorithms and apps could replace half of banking jobs over the next 10 years, according to some forecasts. At the same time, people still prefer person-to-person interactions when it comes to big financial decisions. The panel will address some key questions including: how AI will change banking, and if the human touch will still be necessary in the future.

July 6, 2016, Over a third (36%) of all developers who are actively working on Big Data or advanced analytics projects now use elements of machine learning according to Evans Data's recently released Big Data and Advanced Analytics survey report. While the market for machine learning is still fragmented, those developers actively working with machine learning are most likely to be targeting financial sectors, Internet of Things, or manufacturing. The survey of over 500 developers actively working with Big Data also showed that decision trees are the most used analytical model which links in closely with artificial intelligence and machine learning development. Linear regression and logistics regression were the next most cited analytical models. Logistics, distribution, or operations were the company departments most likely to be using advanced data analytics or Big Data solutions.

The Human Vaccines Project is teaming with the University of California San Diego to apply advances in machine learning to solve critical problems impeding the development of vaccines and therapeutics for a wide range of diseases. The Human Vaccines Project (Project) is a new global public-private partnership of academic research centers, industry, non-profits and government agencies designed to accelerate the development of next-generation vaccines and immunotherapies. On Friday, July 8, the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology (Calit2) Qualcomm Institute (QI) will host an invitation-only Workshop on Human Vaccines and Machine Learning (HVML) in Atkinson Hall on the UC San Diego campus. The workshop will bring together top academic researchers and partners in the vaccine development community from the biotech and pharmaceutical industries, as well as experts from top software companies and IT research organizations. "The Human Vaccines Project has embarked on a decade-long, 1 billion mission to decode the human immune system," said Wayne C. Koff, Ph.D., President and CEO of the Human Vaccines Project.

GMA Consulting, an IT consultancy specialising in solutions for the financial services industry, and TermSet, a provider of software which automatically creates accurate and consistent metadata and taxonomies for Office documents, PDF's and emails within Microsoft SharePoint, are pleased to announce a partnership to offer advanced document-centric solutions for firms in the financial services sector. GMA Consulting has extensive experience in implementing SharePoint solutions for its financial services clients and has identified two important areas where TermSet's advanced capabilities, such as summarisation and sentiment analysis can deliver clear benefits to its customers. Ben Grey, a Director at GMA Consulting, said "The first area we identified where TermSet could benefit our clients was managing research documents. Both buy and sell side firms produce and consume large amounts of research documents. When a piece of research material is uploaded to a SharePoint library TermSet can automatically produce a headline summary, classify the sentiment and automatically tag with metadata such as asset class, industry sector, company name and region / country. This will make it far easier for users to find documents they are interested in, particularly if SharePoint's advanced search capabilities are used as well. The second area we identified is legal document management. TermSet can help extract key information such as matter reference and counterparty names and tag documents with this information. This would negate the need for legal departments to manually classify documents, which is hugely time consuming and inefficient."
