Surfing the Waves of Analytics Industry Trends
In this session, we will explore the waves of change throughout the analytics industry. We discuss how to keep track of transformational trends, adapting analytics architecture and exploring "blue ocean" opportunities in a new world of data. Topics include Immersive Experiences with Virtual Reality, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Computing, Analytics Automation, Predictive and Prescriptive Analytics, Internet of Things, Big Data, Cloud and Hybrid Integration.
One of the great challenges of visual neuroscience is to reveal the neural mechanisms defining our perceptual experience. The human visual system is extremely efficient at recognizing objects, even for novel ones never encountered before and often under poor viewing conditions. I will discuss research understanding the neural mechanisms of object understanding by combining complementary methodologies such as psychophysical (i.e., behavioral experiments), neuroimaging (i.e., fMRI, EEG and TMS), human electrophysiology and computational techniques such as machine learning.
Data science is transforming the way that companies operate by allowing them to leverage their data more rapidly and reliably than ever before. This talk will describe the technology and algorithms behind the data science product that won the North Carolina Technology Award for Best Use of Analytics in 2016 and the impact that this initiative has had at Red Ventures. Using this product as a starting point, we'll define the current state of data science and hypothesize about where it is headed.
