Did you miss a session from MetaBeat 2022? Head over to the on-demand library for all of our featured sessions here. Deloitte released the fifth edition of its State of AI in the Enterprise research report today, which surveyed more than 2,600 global executives on how businesses and industries are deploying and scaling artificial intelligence (AI) projects. Most notably, the Deloitte report found that while AI continues to move tantalizingly closer to the core of the enterprise – 94% of business leaders agree that AI is critical to success over the next five years – for some, outcomes seem to be lagging. For example, 79% percent of respondents reported achieving full-scale deployment for three or more types of AI applications, which is up from 62% last year.

Clustering is an important topic in busyness, because it helps us to reduce the number of features to some typology, to some clusters which, in a case that data allows us, can give us more informations about our topic of interest. In a data science literature it is usually presented as dimension reduction technique, but in science, or even in data science it could reveal some additional pattern in data that is not obvious at the first glance. Imagine you have some features about some students: their marks, their personality traits, their ability scores, their motivation. Clustering could reveal you the completely new types of (un)successful students (it could be someone with high ability and low motivation -- underachiever, but at the same time it could be someone with high motivation and really good marks, but low abilities -- overachiever). This could simply done by clustering, while our cluster names (overachiever, underachiever) are basically interpretations of the clusters.
