What Is Decision Intelligence Technology?

On Jan 8 Randy McClure published the article “This Is What Decision Intelligence Technology Is And Know What Its Not“: Decision Intelligence (DI) is a groundbreaking technology that can take business decision-making to unparalleled heights. While DI platforms can employ artificial intelligence (AI), there’s so much more to it than just AI. Now, the concept of decision intelligence can be easily confused with other IT jargon. So in this article, I’ll  explain what a DI platform truly is—and what it isn’t. Further, I’ll focus on how DI platforms empower supply chains. Indeed, this is because DI platforms have unlimited potential to improve logistics decision-making and automate decision flows. Moreover, I’ll break down the distinctions between decision intelligence and its counterparts: decision science, expert AI, data science, and business intelligence (BI). Link

Combining LLM and Rule Engine

A few month ago Mario Fusco (Drools project lead) wrote “Combining LLM flexibility and rule engine predictability“: “The power and flexibility that a well-trained Deep Learning model gives you is virtually infinite, but often, at least in some parts of your application, what you need is more confined control to make it adhere to your business domain and rules. Given these premises why not mixing 2 very different and complementary AI branches like deep learning and symbolic reasoning? Moving forward with the mortgage example, this will give us a chance to implement an application with the corporate rigor required by the strict business rules of a bank, but queryable in the most human friendly possible way.Link

Will 75% of digital products be obsolete in 3 years?

Gartner predicts that by 2027, 75% of data, digital or analytics products will be made obsolete, or marketplaces shut down, as “too few ‘customers’ came to use them.” Link

Solving Decisioning Problems Sequentially over Time

Prof. Warren Powell wrote: “I recently came to the realization that all the motivating applications of linear programming used by Dantzig were in fact fully sequential (and stochastic). Which means, you do not just solve a single linear program – you have to solve them sequentially over time, where a decision at one point in time affects what you can do the next time you solve it.” A similar dynamic approach is true for various decisioning techniques.

Family Riddle

We decided to bring back a classic family riddle as a Jan-2024 Challenge as it requires some logical thinking. It will be interesting to see what our readers could do with such a problem today when along with traditional decision intelligence tools like rule engines and constraint solvers we have new LLM-based tools (Copilot and ChatGPT). Looking forward to your solutions in 2024! Link

A new family of antibiotics discovered with graph deep learning

“The discovery of novel structural classes of antibiotics is urgently needed to address the ongoing antibiotic resistance crisis… Our approach enables the deep learning-guided discovery of structural classes of antibiotics and demonstrates that machine learning models in drug discovery can be explainable, providing insights into the chemical substructures that underlie selective antibiotic activity.” Link
