According to the author, it is now possible to examine which part of an image, AI is focusing on, in particular and what it is trying to interpret out of it. Chris Grimm of Brown university has devised tools and techniques, which are when tested on AI, scans where it was focusing on while it categorised the objects, the process includes dividing the objects into different elements and looking for them in the image to be sure of the decisions. This close examinaton of the functioning of AI helps in trusting the decisions taken by it.

Digital twins refer to computerized companions of physical assets that can be used for various purposes. Digital twins use data from sensors installed on physical objects to represent their near real-time status, working condition or position. With digital twin, optimized machine design and smooth operation is ensured. It also helps predict precisely when maintenance will be required by a particular asset based on unique conditions. A few advantages are: 1) understands how change in manufacturing process can impact cost, 2) checks the current operating status, 3) can perform proper maintenance procedures. Digital twin with advanced analytical tools and machine learning will improve predictive analysis. Read more at: http://www.datasciencecentral.com/profiles/blogs/what-are-digital-twins

In the age of automation ,many hotels are using the data analytics to understand the free amenities that consumers like the most. The proper use of analytics will help them to please both the new and old visitors. In order to execute the hotel's amenity analytics, the following methodologies are used:                                          

1]To tap into the hotel's reservation system to find data                              

2] To incorporate this data with survey data from consumers. This helps the hotel management process easier by making the digital computation of the value of free amenities and by providing better analysis of the data available and making space for new reliable and valuable data.

India is planning to observe the pollution level in the ocean with the level of automation and based on the observation it will try to take measure to reduce the pollution level in the ocean. As the tourism industry along the coasts are flourishing in a large scale in India, the pollution is also increasing . This project will help to predict a threshold value of dumping waste into the ocean by forecasting the pollution. Different time scales will be taken into account to observe the significant changes occurring in the coastal waters and to estimate how different parameters are like along the coastline of India.

Many big companies are trying to adopt sophisticated artificial intelligence and other advanced technologies without practicing basic data analysis. But this will affect the companies adversely. Without basic automation and strategic vision of solving basic problems using basic data analytics, companies cannot use the AI and advanced technologies to reach the correct results. The different ways of AI are not yet fully discovered by the companies .AI has the full. potential to reinvent business but before that proper automated and structured analytics are needed to be prepared to nourish the advantages of AI.

Data mining is the practice of examining large pre-existing databases in order to generate new information or to predict future trends. It is useful because: 1) it helps in identifying the multi-dimensional patterns of large data, 2) establishing relationships, 3) putting together predictive models, 4) customer data can be mined to acquire new customers, retain customers, cross-sell to existing customers, 5) helps financial sector companies build fraud detection models and risk mitigation models, etc. Skills required for data mining are statistical knowledge, artificial intelligence/machine learning, and competency in Python, R, and SQL; also along with these technical skills a data miner should have business knowledge and other soft skills.

GDPR gives customers the right to control their personal data, to modify, restrict or withdraw consent, and transfer data. GDPR helps in reinforcement of customer’s trust and reduce regulations. With unified data governance, businesses will comply easily with law regulations that redefine client personal data usage. While without it they will be at a risk of potential data breaches and loss of client trust. With GDPR, companies are required to have technologies and data and analytics solutions which help them manage their data to provide a positive customer experience across channels. In future, these organizations will be able to secure a competitive advantage by gaining client consent to use personal data and improve the customer experience. GDPR will help in increasing awareness of the value of personal data. Read more at: http://www.datasciencecentral.com/profiles/blogs/gdpr-a-change-in-the-making

To avoid the complexity of natural language for computer programs, a proposed approach is suggested which simplifies the language into sequences of predefined keywords. The approach is: 1) the relevant proposed keywords should be obtained by applying patterns and rules in the text. 2) New keywords must be defined and the corresponding idea must be explained by those. 3) The statistics of the new keywords and patterns should be systematically collected. 4) Statistical analysis or data mining techniques will help in detecting sub-optimal situations. 5) Progressively this will lead to the generation of an optimal set of keywords and patterns and the final knowledge encoded will be easy to mine using simple programs.

Data exhaust refers to the data generated as trails or information byproducts resulting from all digital or online activities. These consist of storable choices, actions and preference information that are generated for every process or transaction done digitally. This is mainly produced by manufacturers and retailers. A lot of data are collected by manufacturers, which they don’t need, but it’s needed by suppliers or for quality control. Data exhaust is also a revenue opportunity; the data which is not needed by the manufactures can be sold to the suppliers or a chain of suppliers.

The logistics industry in India is growing rapidly because of the growth in retail, e-commerce and manufacturing sectors. Though it has been underperforming over the years, it has received importance recently and is expected to reach a worth of $2 billion by 2019. Lack of facilities, technology and manpower have been reasons for the loss in the perishables sector. Better infrastructure, better storage, better network and warehouse facilities are the way forward. The sector is currently using IT solutions and the hub-and-spoke model for freight movement. It provides end-to-end supply chains to the consumers and being a key player in the economy, it is expected to grow by 10-15% annually in years to come.Read more at: http://www.iamwire.com/2017/04/indian-logistics-industry-scenario/151331  

Database vendor choice is one of the factors affecting the cost of provision of data. Even when licensing pricing is unpredictable we need database pricing to be low and stable. The pricing model can be per storage/ per server or user based where users need to create their separate profiles. Another type of models is in which cost structure have an influence over architecture where customers are not able to get all the expected cloud features such as independently scaling computing and storage. Computing and storage should be priced independently. This works well in case of the seasonality of data where one only has to pay for what he uses.

Location data can be mingled with technology to better manage traffic issues, infrastructure as well as planning city development. CARTO a SaaS platform creates mapping tools that help governments and citizens take smart decisions. For example, in SanDiego, visualizations with the help of data assisted citizens to track the progress of their street repairs. In Finland, reindeers could be detected from reasonable radius which could avert their deaths by car. Similarly, location intelligence could be used for tree plantation in appropriate habitats. Businesses can decide on their investment strategies based on locations and planners could do predictive intelligence in handling traffic. Overall citizens should be a part of development.
