The World of Artificial Intelligence

The world of artificial intelligence is so much exciting. So basically Artificial intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. In the year 1956, John McCarthy coined the term “Artificial Intelligence” and defines it as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." Precisely AI is a machine with the ability to solve problems that is usually done by us humans with our natural intelligence. AI is a broad branch of computer science. The goal of AI is to create systems that can perform intelligently and independently. Read more at: https://www.sciencedaily.com/terms/artificial_intelligence.htm

Big data in small business

The online commerce industry has been growing at an unprecedented rate which is attributable to big data. Alongside exploring the benefits of deep learning and predictive analytics, small businesses, working with smaller budgets, should consider using big data to reap the most bangs for their buck in terms of highest profitability. Over the past few years, e-commerce companies have invested titanic amount in big data and have earned record profits. For example, according to Statista, Amazon in 2017 netted a profit of nearly $178 billion as compared to $136 billion in 2016. Walmart, too, experienced nearly a 44% increase in revenue attributable to more resource allocation to e-commerce. Small businesses primed for growth are also capitalizing on the surge in online payments and big data e-commerce to get their slice of the profits as well. A research by eMarketer, estimated e-commerce sales to rise upto $2.8 trillion by this year. Surely, e-commerce will continue to smoothen its way to dominance with consumers on board. Small businesses can extract certain benefits like building brand awareness, improving customer confidence and greater net impulsive buys.

Big Data in human relationships: A qualitative approach

With the development of data-related technology in recent years, objective data analysis has not been able to overcome the hurdle of managing human relationships. It is indispensable to focus on qualitative human characteristics to opine about an employee in addition to performance numbers. In recent times there has been a sheer rise in demand for this kind of an analysis, even from the business perspective which would assist managers to coordinate and understand employees better. The major challenge facing data is to tackle an issue that has historically been impossible to be reduced to numbers. With a large volume of data, collected across multiple dimensions, even a rudimentary algorithm can point out parameters that could predict human behaviour. At the intersection of multiple data related disciplines including data mining, statistics, machine learning etc, a sophisticated system could be produced to make sweeping predictions about a group’s future behaviour. In a nutshell, predicting human behaviour needs complete understanding of the complex personality traits and emotional states. Moreover we aren’t naturally acclimatised to study subjective factors  that is easy for predictive analytics algorithms to parse. The transition from quantitative to qualitative data analysis calls for a more intensive method of data collection. By analysing the human behaviour, analytics businesses can become better managers, negotiators etc.

Outsourcing the crowd

Technological innovation occurring all across the countries has made it easier to crowd source it to provide with better and faster services, funding and navigation. Powered by social media, new tech and web 2.0, Crowd sourcing is a sourcing model by which it engages a ‘crowd’ or group for a common goal — often innovation, problem solving, or efficiency. Being a blend of two words- crowd and outsourcing, there is no doubt that crowd-sourcing is helping various organizations to tap new ideas and solutions in order to encourage deeper consumer engagements, co-creation opportunities and reduced costs. It cuts across various dimensions and enhances all social and business interactions. Not only it is used by private organizations the way they work, hire, research and market but also by Governments to empower people and to enable them to voice their opinions in crucial matters of the country. Crowdsourcing also has the potential to revolutionize the system by touching across various fields such as science and technology and education.

Micro-content learning

 

One compact, focused and holistic approach for enhancing skills and developing the knowledge base of any newbie learner is micro learning. It makes any business context valuable in the ways by which it provides the right amount of information necessary to enable a learner to achieve their specific objectives and goals. Microlearning processes takes place either through evolving structures like weblog postings or social bookmark managers on the World Wide Web or through interface with micro content in designed media settings. Broadly speaking, it is used to describe the way people are actually doing informal learning and gaining knowledge based on Web 2.0 and wireless web technologies, in micro-content, multitasking environment and micro-media. Some of its vivid characteristics involve variety in the microlearning contents like game, video, quiz and so on; its granularity in narrow topics and concepts and brevity.  The benefits of microlearning spread over its capability in acquiring just-in-time learning and effective and varied learning. With its focus on isolated portions of learning, it is not so great when trying to connect incongruent elements of it into one consistent picture.

How merging big data, IoT and cloud computing can lead us to a better future?

The buzzing technology giants, big data, IoT and cloud computing are completely separated disciples. But the union of these technologies is leading us towards an advanced version of our world. According to IDC, “Within the next five years, more than 90 percent of all Internet of Things data will be hosted on service provider platforms as cloud computing reduces the complexity of supporting the Internet of Things ‘data blending’.” Nowadays IT sector is shifting itself from product orientation to information based outcome orientation. The coupling of these technologies is helping our healthcare industry to become smarter, advances in self service analysis, beneficial for industrial IoT, adoption of edge-computing and so on.

What is the need to replace RPA implementation with OCR?

The enormous amount of data is increasing day by day. But, unfortunately it is reported that the inability to analyze the current data obstructs the businesses to take advantage of the services.  With the use of OCR (optical character recognition) our collected data makes some sense. OCR depends completely on manual checking. Instead of using OCR we can implement RPA (robotics process automation).

So, how we can use RPA? For more information go to:

Visualising a three-dimensional from a two-dimensional snapshot

The world is really moving at a fast pace and is revolving around artificial intelligence. Do you think is it possible to have a three dimensional figure just by looking at a two dimensional figure? Yes, it is possible. The researchers can make a three-dimensional figure just by having few two-dimensional figures. But this system which they have made is not available for commercial applications. This system can be used for self-driving cars and household robots. This system has a very good grasping power as it is able to learn in a very smart way from little observations.
