Session Title
Super Cloud Artificial Intelligence Visualization, Wow!
Presenter
Aaron Martlage, ColdLight Solutions
Session Type: Presentation
Every day, a new widget or product comes into being which produces data. Whether it is the latest techno-gadget that fits in your pocket or the high-tech high-rise ensconced in solar film, we are slowly moving into a world where our daily decisions are supported by ubiquitous information. Harvesting this data is no longer the issue – new products are instantly online. However, making sense of this data – interacting with this data – requires a system which takes full advantage of the ethereal nature of service-based solutions.
One technique to wrangle this data into shape is employing Artificial Intelligence to do the heavy lifting. Historically, data analysis and statistical modeling required brainy quants to eliminate outliers and produce confidence intervals. Today’s solutions, powered by instantly scalable cloud-computing environments, provide AI platforms enabling non-propeller heads to discover non-obvious patterns.
This presentation is half case study, half fortune telling. The first portion will present how ColdLight Solutions has pioneered a brave new world where AI is delivered as a service to non-technical users. The second portion will make bold statements as to how humans will interact with machine intelligence in the very near future.
Topics discussed:
• What exactly does it mean to use Artificial Intelligence in the business?
• How to capitalize on cloud-computing, specifically Amazon Web Services
• Building a data-centric application usable by real people
• Visualizing complex, n-dimensional data on boring, 2-dimensional screens
• Having a “conversation” with machine intelligence today and in the future
• Just a dash of deploying a truly RIA using Microsoft Silverlight
This presentation will introduce the experience design professional to the concept of designing for not only humans, but Artificial Intelligence as well. It will forgo the technical explanations and focus on the practical approach to bringing a revolutionary product to market using cutting-edge underpinnings.
