Title: “Performance of a Large Decision Table Deployed as a Microservice“
Presenter: Dr. Bob Moore, JETset Business Consulting.

Abstract: There have been a number of solutions submitted to February’s decision modelling challenge. This talk inspired by the solutions to the challenge, looks at some aspects of managing large decision tables, considering the comparative performance of various solutions and suggesting things one should consider when trying to come up with an optimal approach when dealing with large decision tables.

Data-centric AI development

Posted on May 27, 2021 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Andrew Ng writes that ML research mainly concentrates on algorithms while the real-world applications deal more with data quality. “Benchmarks and competitions in which teams are asked to improve the data rather than the code would better reflect the workloads of many practical applications. I hope that such benchmarks also will spur research and help engineers gain experience working on data.”  Link

ML has a proof-of-concept-to-production gap

Posted on May 19, 2021 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Andrew Ng: “All of AI, not just healthcare, has a proof-of-concept-to-production gap. The full cycle of a machine learning project is not just modeling. It is finding the right data, deploying it, monitoring it, feeding data back [into the model], showing safety—doing all the things that need to be done [for a model] to be deployed. [That goes] beyond doing well on the test set, which fortunately or unfortunately is what we in machine learning are great at.” Link

In memory of Dr. Harold Boley

Posted on May 17, 2021 by jacobfeldman

Dr. Harold Boley passed away in December 2020. Being a well-known scientist in the semantic web movement and the Chair of RuleML from 2001 to 2020, Harold devoted a lot of efforts to integrate the academic research in the area of rules-based knowledge representation with the commonly used rule engines. In particular, he initiated and actively pushed the integration of RuleML and DecisionCAMP and coined the name “Declarative AI” for a summit that annually brings together researchers and practitioners. This year the Declarative AI will be held in September for the first time without Harold but the Rule Challenge will carry his name. Link

AI Finally Won an Elite Crossword Tournament

Posted on May 2, 2021 by decisionmanagementcommunity

Checkers, backgammon, chess, Go, poker, and other games have witnessed the machines’ invasions, falling one by one to dominant A.I.s. Now crosswords have joined them. “Dr. Fill” algorithm wasn’t perfect; it finished the tournament with three errors. But its blazing speed—most puzzles in well under a minute—helped it outscore all comers, edging the top human by a razor-thin 15 points. Link
