Let start at the beginning; back in the 50’s we dreamt about robots making our tea (AI) and what we could do with our spare time, fuelled by the space race and science fiction it was a heady dream. Until that is the 80’s, where we started to ‘teach’ machines simple tasks (Machine Learning), the more times a machine completed a task the more it learnt and improved. We’ve now reached Deep Learning, where through the improvement of…

Dramatic success in machine learning has led to a torrent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications. Continued advances promise to produce autonomous systems that will perceive, learn, decide, and act on their own. However, the effectiveness of these systems is limited by the…

The financial world is a field of data, and the entire industry is reliant on data and figures. The fintech industry is rapidly evolving and revolves around numerous complicated transactions. Relying on century-old…

Artificial intelligence is a relatively ubiquitous phenomenon at this point. And yet, for some reason, it remains shrouded in at least a little bit of mystery. But the truth is that over the past decade, or so, this novel technology has managed to establish itself as an integral part of, well, pretty much every industry on the face of Earth. Since it continues to help companies and businesses improve virtually every aspect of their operations, there is one incredibly exciting field that has…

Many organizations have started adopting artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) solutions, yet the C-level executives are neither data scientists nor AI experts.

AI is not a new concept. However, it is only in the last decade the technology has managed to make advancements worldwide. In the present day, we’re able to speak to our mobile devices and it responds, when we’re trying to book an Uber we receive multiple options with the price updates, or even when we’re…

Tracing back to the early stage of human race where only hand gestures were used to communicate, we have come a long way where we now interact with computers, almost every day, by a new method called Natural Language Processing. Thanks to the significant rise of AI and ML technologies that help facilitate a seamless interaction between a human being and a machine.

NLP is a type of Artificial Intelligence that provides machines the capability of reading, understanding and…

Mohammed Bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world’s first university dedicated to artificial intelligence (AI) launched in October 2019 paves a new era of technological advancements in the UAE.

UAE’s Minister of State Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber says, “The Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) is an open invitation from Abu Dhabi to the world to unleash AI’s full potential.”

Precisely, State Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber happens…

Rising gas levels are solidly dangerous, impacting our lives at huge stakes. Even the slightest spark would ignite the premises and would cost a fortune to the industries.

Well, the Internet of Things is one of a kind technology that has the capabilities of potentializing the assets to their optimal performances. In the case of…

Currently, the world is relishing the perks provided by mobile app technology.

With more and more people getting conversant in analytics, its demand in every field becoming more pronounced. Product is no different. It is almost inevitable to introduce analytics in some format or other in the products you own. However, before you open the gates to this world of magic, there are three questions you should try answering.…

It has become evident that developments in analytics are creating new occupations. There has been much discussion about where new jobs will come from with many existing ones being made redundant because of the 4^th Industrial Revolution – i.e. the impact of artificial intelligence and robotics. Analytics is bucking this trend.

Some of new occupations in analytics include data prospectors and data harvesters. Data prospectors, like gold prospectors, are responsible…

Everybody claims to be a software company these days. From the nearly decade old pronouncement by Marc Andressen that “Software Is Eating the World” to the push from Wall Street to produce recurring software revenue; the pressure is on to claim - at least - that you are a software company.

This is obviously problematic for appliance vendors. Try as they might, it does not take much…

SQL (or the stored procedure) can handle most of the database computations. If the computations are complex or hard to deal in SQL, we use another programming language to read data out of the database to manipulate it. Such a programming language handles the data read and manipulation with a simple script. So we call the process the post-SQL scripting.

The scenarios that SQL is not good at handling include complex set-based operations, order-based operations,…
