Although cloud storage has benefited the businesses in intelligence enterprises but still it shouldn’t be trusted blindly. Cloud storage techniques have helped digital data storage and the changes are remarkable.

The 2 challenges that are connected with cloud storage, cloud lock-in and management complexity are:

• Cloud lock-in: Failure to transfer data from one cloud storage facility to other.

• Management complexity: The inability to perform proper management of available storage environments.

Following are the solutions to these problems that may be seen as unsolvable.

1. Gateway device: It behaves as an agent between the on-premise storage and the cloud storage.

2. Hybrid cloud: With the help of hybrid cloud, cloud storage acts as an extension to on-premise data storage.

3. Multicolored controller: It permits the data to be seen at the same time.

Whenever it comes to complications, we all know human brain is the most unpredictable and complicated organ of the human body. Any brain injury leads to damage of millions of cells due to lack of oxygen in the body. Such damages require immediate attention of the doctors. But somehow, making out and analyzing those reports results to the latency which more often comes out as life threatening news for the patient.   

So, how AI can contribute its role here? For increasing the efficiency of the workflow some AI algorithms has been applied to the machine which are now capable of detecting the abnormalities requiring urgent attention of the doctor.

Autism being a spectrum or developmental disorder characterized by lack of social skills and repetitive behavior is being diagnosed using several methods in order to identify the onset of this disease. One such method is used by Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule which inspects videotapes on the basis of an assessment between an examiner and a child for understanding the child’s behavior. According to a paper published in Science Translational Machine by researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Washington University School of Medicine, doctors could precisely forecast which child might develop autism before hitting 24 months and with a 96 percent accuracy rate. A fully cross-validated machine learning was developed which used the scans of the 6-month-old infants. 59 high risk brain scans were taken over 230 regions and the whole brain was mapped creating matrices of functional connectivity from each child’s MRI data.  The algorithm further analyzed the brain scans of the 6-month-old infants and it properly predicted 9 out of 11 infants had the symptoms of autism at 24 months, with a sensitivity of 81.8%. Such data-driven approach is a good indicator of predictive measure that suggests that AI and machine learning could someday possibly recognize diseases with accurateness and extend treatments for the mass and maybe halt the headway of the disorders themselves.

Google has been dominating the search engine industry over the years, though it has been frequently criticized of not providing search results in non-English languages. To cater to the problem, it has resorted to semantic indexing thereby becoming proficient at providing multilingual search results. The spectrum of search contents have been widening with time thus hinting at an expanding and trending macro environment. The search engines use algorithms which are solely based on Artificial Intelligence which would be rather simpler with limited pre-defined inputs. In its quest to understand the true meaning of different search queries, the algorithms are required to understand the contextual meaning behind various pairs of words which is attributable to deep learning. Despite capturing 70% of the search engine market globally, certain discrepancies arise due to regulatory policies. However, according to Shout Agency, the core problem is not the structure of algorithms as Google can make educated assumptions indexing any language but discrepancies in search results persist. The crux of the matter entirely stems from the fact that Google has had limited opportunities to conduct deep learning in some language than others. A potential risk is involved due to smaller user base and fewer Google employees that can understand the language enough to determine the worth of the content which lowers the chance of Google to conduct manual penalties for content. This could lead to greater pervasiveness of spun content throwing away algorithms dependent on deep learning.

Of late, Agile methodologies have been taking root in data science boosting complex collaborations between data scientists and other developers. Agile can be easily ported over to Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence domains due to its feedback-heavy, iterative nature and given that incessant improvement is an innate part of AI. Such methodologies are characterized by fast feedback loops and short development sprints. Agile projects, in distinction to old-school waterfall approaches, involve error correction and cyclical stakeholder input and primarily focuses on short term goals rather than the long-term view. AI researchers should think of research as an iterative, evolving process to remain receptive and adaptive as per Agile’s basic tenets. To ensure that projects do not grind to a halt, maintaining a buffer of solutions for implementation is a priority as data scientists work on multiple projects, each taking months to complete. The iterative nature of Agile well captures experimentation as a core part of AI and ML projects. Agile maximizes value throughout the development process.

Allowing various components of technology to come together seamlessly, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been taking over the technology arena for some time. The pressing budget of UK’s National Health Services (NHS) has led to clinics being short-staffed and overworked. In the healthcare industry, AI uses algorithms to be tantamount to human cognition to analyze composite medical data. Institutions such as Massachusetts General Hospital, The Mayo Clinic, NHS have been applying AI programs to processes such as drug development, personalized medicine, treatment protocol development and patient monitoring. Use of AI may introduce certain type of risks such as algorithm bias, DNR implications and machine morality issues, though, research on the use of AI aims to validate its efficacy in improving patient results prior to its broader adoption. AI enables evaluation of current health of patients, access to more up-to-date research through NLP and identifies warning signs earlier in the care process thereby reducing risks of medical issues having long-term implications. Requiring a vast amount of data is indispensable for AI solutions to provide powerful insights. However, the obstacles faced in the use of AI must be overcome before a true change can take place.

Organic traffic is used for visitors landing on the website as a result of organic search results. Recently, companies have been witnessing a drop in organic traffic. Prioritizing quantitative analysis over qualitative business assessment would lead a company on the road to success. Companies can manage to hit their KPIs by understanding current view generation trends with the help of close data-driven analysis of site traffic. A continually changing SEO rules have contributed to declining organic site traffic for many businesses transforming an advantage into a source of punishment for manipulative guest posting. Visibility and ranking are conflicting priorities with data being the determining factor of increasing or decreasing organic site activity. Social media data and visibility are among the other major factors contributing to website traffic. Despite searches not directing to the social pages, the best ranked sites are attributed with more social interactions. Target sites having the greatest degree of visibility are the matter of concern for ranking algorithms. Using big data in general and unique views coupled with first visits in particular, gives an organic traffic boost to businesses.

Data awareness is a sensitive topic within the crypto community and fears regarding crypto will be disseminated by new efforts that educate people about data privacy and security.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) has started conducting a number of data awareness campaigns with the aim of building trust in cryptocurrencies. Data security breaches and privacy violations are the two most concerning issues underlying the faith in crypto market. Data privacy laws and EU’s Global Data Protection Requirement (GDPR) work to encourage people to the usage of cryptos and re-establish consumer confidence thus restoring faith in digitalization. Under the new data guidelines in the era of GDPR, ICOs are working to ensure compliance among the users of cryptocurrencies. Smaller businesses, despite having smaller budget, less brand equity and subject to draconian fines,  too garner trust and meet compliance targets. ICO Data Awareness efforts inevitably benefits the crypto industry.

Insurance companies, over the decades, have been overwhelmingly dependent on credit scores for judging customers’ credit worthiness. Analysis of credit scores are in practice long before big data acquired a firm foot in the consumer analytics industry. However, they have often been criticized of being biased against the most credit-worthy individual. Not neglecting the obvious imperfection of these credit score based actuarial algorithm models, to make nuanced decisions regarding the credit risks of their customers, insurers have resorted to using big data. There may be certain variables incorporated in credit scoring algorithms that overstate customer dependability. A person with a good credit score, even if he faces a couple of repayment defaults due to sudden financial breakdown, would have his current credit score unaltered. Several other reasons have made insurers skeptical of using credit rating in the era of big data. With the help of big data Insurers now recognize that credit based insurance policies have increased the risk of unjust racial profiling. Limitations and fallacies of credit-scoring are being continually exposed by analytics modeling compelling insurance actuaries to upend existing policies and have greater reliance on data-intensive approach.

The sprouting digital age has created both opportunities and challenges when it comes to businesses with customers. On one hand, the outburst of new channels has opened up amazing new ways to involve the audiences. On the other hand, it challenges the business enterprises to cut the noise out and stand apart to build a more sophisticated, intuitive and personalized relationship with their customers. In this regard they have gone one step further to personalize information such as name, title, organization, purchase history etc. and utilizes interactive and real-time data to create highly appropriate communication that is relevant to the user. This is what is called the hyper-personalization. Such an action of creating messages that target and connect with a specific subset of the overall consumer audience leads to companies’ willfully abandoning broad reaching marketing messages and creating different campaigns for different groups of people. This matter revolves around the question “what people want” and it’s predicted that the recent decade will see e-commerce companies connecting their brand through hyper personalization. Some of the renowned brands like Starbucks, Amazon and Spotify have adopted hyper-personalization, where AI and machine learning analyze numerous factors to power their recommendation engine.

Although data science, artificial intelligence, or Web 2.0. are the new buzzword, Jupyter Notebooks are revolutionizing in the sense that it is an open-source web project, a piece of software that allows data scientists to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations and explanatory text. Originally called IPython Notebook, it’s built to write and share code and text, within the domain of a web page. Even though Jupyter has its roots in Python (it evolved from IPython Notebooks), it is now multi-lingual. In fact the name itself comes from 3 languages: Ju(lia)+Py(thon)+(e)R and  Jupyter kernels now extends to 80 more languages. They are very convenient in the senses that have become a standard for data analysis and scientific research, allows us to publish our narratives in many formats, from live online notebooks to slide decks; and it simplifies the problem of distributing employed software to coworkers and associates.

Predictive Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, bots, data science – the waves of advances in data science keep on coming. Access to old data and not skill base or technology, turns out to be the biggest obstacle for powerful analysis insight which requires a tedious data preparation. Data Silos are something of a buzzword, a demon lurking in the enterprise which makes it prohibitively costly to extract data and makes company initiatives nearly impossible. Silos lead on to limited information, redundant data and interdepartmental inefficiencies. To make the data streamlined, accessible and impactful to the organization’s bottom-line, the development of silos must be mitigated in a progressive and pragmatic approach. Things aren’t as beautifully simple as the buzzword “data lake” might conjure. A combination of various methods including use of the right software, encouraging proactive communication, blurring departmental descriptions and roles coupled with the goal of integration at the background would lead to an integrated platform thus overcoming the problem of data silos. Focus on Wide Data Analytics and not only big data, stands indispensible to achieve a future state of mature analytical competency, however, silos aren’t entirely evil in the context of data management.
