What: |
“Machine Learning: Addressing the Disillusionment to Bring Actual Business Benefit” |
||
| ‘Machine learning’ is one of those cringy phrases, almost (if not already) taboo in the world of high-tech SaaS. Applying true machine learning to an organization’s product(s), however, can have real benefit for the business, their clients, and the industry as a whole. From credit card fraud investigations to the way that a car is built, machine learning has permeated our everyday life without a common understanding of what it is and how to implement it. | |||
