Prerequisite knowledge

  • Experience with structured data in a business setting
  • Familiarity with decision support or business intelligence

  • Understand transparent or explainable AI, the benefits of Bayesian AI as a decision-making tool, and the business value of incorporating explainable AI that quantifies uncertainty

Description

Businesses have spent decades trying to make better decisions through the complete understanding of data. New technologies make Bayesian inference and generative modeling more accessible to business analysts. But the ability to rapidly quantify uncertainty, simulate new data, and understand direction, magnitude, and confidence of effects creates new communications challenges. Richard Tibbetts shares techniques for capturing domain knowledge and making findings actionable for decision makers utilizing the explanatory powers of transparent AI.
