Description

As industry media continues to drive the popularity of the term “artificial intelligence,” it leaves many unanswered questions. How will software teams deal with the increased demand to “add more AI” to their projects? Where do your domain experts add their experiences to the algorithms? How can business processes be improved through machine learning?

Rebecca Simmonds and Michael McCune offer answers to all these questions. You’ll see how to combine the worlds of data science and business process management to form processing engines that deliver reduced overhead and improved automation and learn how distributed machine learning frameworks fit together naturally with business rules management systems. Join in to discover how to enhance your rules-based processes with machine learning-inspired analysis.
