The Past, Present, and Future of Data Quality Management

The Past, Present, and Future of Data Quality Management

Data quality monitoring. Data testing. Data observability. Say that five times fast.  Are they different words for the same thing? Unique approaches to the same problem? Something else entirely? And more importantly-do you really need all three? Like everything in data engineering, data quality management is evolving at lightning speed. The meteoric rise of data and AI in the enterprise has made data quality a zero day risk for modern businesses-and THE problem to solve for data teams. With so much overlapping terminology, it's not always clear how it all fits together-or if it fits together.  But contrary to what…

Data-Driven Insights And AI: Informing And Automating Complex Decisions

Data-Driven Insights And AI: Informing And Automating Complex Decisions

I recently attended CCC Intelligent Solutions’ (CCCIS’s) conference in Atlanta, where it showcased its data- and AI-enabled capabilities in auto claim administration to its stakeholders — insurers, OEM players, ecosystem partners, and industry analysts. One of the conference’s central themes was using data, insights, and AI (especially eomputer vision) to automate complex decision-making in the auto claims process. Incidentally, CCCIS’s systems generated 1.8×10^54 combinations of factors in various types of auto claims decision-making. To effectively use AI, it is critical to understand the moments of truth in a vehicle claims process — what matters to the claimants and the insurer.…

An AI tool for predicting protein shapes could be transformative for medicine, but it challenges science’s need for proof

An AI tool for predicting protein shapes could be transformative for medicine, but it challenges science’s need for proof

An advanced algorithm that has been developed by Google DeepMind has gone some way to cracking one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in biology. AlphaFold aims to predict the 3D structures of proteins from the “instruction code” in their building blocks. The latest upgrade has recently been released. The latest upgrade has recently been released. Proteins are essential parts of living organisms and take part in virtually every process in cells. But their shapes are often complex, and they are difficult to visualise. So being able to predict their 3D structures offers windows into the processes inside living things, including…

Last Friday, I attended Hugging Face's conference at San Francisco’s Exploratorium. Initially it was supposed to be a meetup of a few dozen people or maybe a hundred at most. But registrations quickly ballooned to 5,000 and people started referring to it as the Woodstock of AI, referencing the Woodstock music festival in 1969. The festival symbolized the counterculture movement of peace and idealism. While the Hugging Face logo 🤗 could have been the icon of the original Woodstock, the company’s mission is to democratize AI by publicly hosting thousands of AI models and datasets for anyone to access.Alongside the…
